[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how now that DA exists ECNL has suddenly become the champion of HS soccer. 3-4 years ago ECNL coaches heavily discouraged their players from participating. Funny how things change.

It says something about a league when ECNL’s best selling point is the opportunity to not actually play in the league. [/quote]

You sound like a parent of a young player. You dont know what you're taking about.

Ecnl is not structured the same way it was 3 or 4 years ago.

The boys DA is a failed system. No need to repeat it. Enjoy[/quote]

You actually sound like a parent who is new to ECNL. In no way before DA were ECNL coaches pumping HS school soccer. In fact it was easier to threaten kids that their spot will be gone because with ECNL being the only game in town many kids were just waiting in the wings.

But now that there is competition ECNL is pumping the nostalgia card of HS soccer. Exactly what does that say about their league when they have to push concession stands and pregame music of something they are not even involved with?

Why doesn’t ECNL just say “ECNL, pay for10 months but train for 6 months”[/quote]

My kid played in both. Back when ECNL and HS played concurrently. That's doesnt happen now. Do you understand that? Splitting time between HS and ECNL was frowned upon because of overload...hence the change.

In general, the highest level club soccer is better than the highest level high school soccer. However, I bet three things:

Your childs 04 team (ECNL or DA), will not beat her high school team.

Your childs 03 tean (ECNl or DA) will be on par with her club team

Your childs 02 team (ECNL or DA) will be better than her high school team

On average

For the 04 and 03 ECNL kids, HS is a challenge. Make no mistake about it. The quality may not be as good, but the challenges are....and that my friend is player development...mentally and physically. [/quote]
