[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]Yeah, I don't understand why FCB's lower teams aren't in NCSL or ODSL. That's the level they were entering in tournaments last year, and if they're not cutting anyone, they're not suddenly going to be top-tier EDP players.

Granted, club passes across leagues can get tricky. It's one reason ODSL is down to almost nothing.

I guess we’ll have to wait til the end of the season to see who was right. Since they’re the ones who spent the most time with those players, maybe they felt confident in their ability to compete. Not trying to discredit your point, just my ¢.02[/quote]

I don't have a "point" that would be "right" or wrong. I just don't understand the decision.

Maybe third- or fourth-tier EDP will be a good place for them, which is another conversation about travel and why teams at that level would choose EDP over NCSL. [/quote]

EDP gives you a lot more flexibility to move players around from team to team - pretty much total flexibility as I remember it.  As long as they are of age and have a player card, they can be on the roster.  The NCSL puts a lot more restrictions on club passes to prevent teams from gaming the system when it comes to division placements.  I'm guessing that roster flexibility would be a big reason the Escola would prefer EDP given what they say about the importance of moving players up and down levels, age groups, etc., in their development model.

Not saying one way is better than the other, but perhaps there is at least one silver lining in the alphabet soup of youth soccer leagues we have around here.  [/quote]
