Do you have a source you can link? [/quote]Im guessing this person is stating this based on the most recent ECNL podcast. It is a really informative one but does not say anything about ECNL making changes. Rather, it talks about how other countries are doing more to stay smaller sided for longer. Anyone with a club that rushes/ goes earlier to 11v11 should listen to this podcast.[/quote]

If they want to stay small sided longer, there will need to be appropriately sized fields.  I agree that the 11 v. 11 fields for U13 are too big, but the 9v9 fields are way too small even at U12.  [/quote]

Agree with your thoughts.  Interesting enough, just got back from a DPL trip to Rome and the U13 teams there play I think 9v9 but played 11v11 for these games.  Anyway was a really fun trip even though no longer involved with DPL with the club going ECNL now.[/quote]
ECNL being SY might just make MLS Next Homegrown stronger because there are 2x age groups to choose the oldest players from.[/quote]

Yes, be prepared for all MLSN1 players to be Q1 as ECNL BY players will switch.  MLSN2 is no man’s land now with no chance of upward mobility for Q3/Q4, so those top SY players in MLSN clubs go to ECNL. [/quote]

MLSN and ECNL made a deal.  MLSNH wants all the best BY players to compete internationally as much as possible.  ECNL wants the college angle.  [/quote]

MLSN Homegrown international competition is almost zero.

Yes, ECNL wants the college angle, agree, but the question is what the parents/players really want.

The vast majority of Q1/2/3/4 are not interested in "international competition of professional path", they want to use soccer for getting grants at college.

You have no idea what the "the vast majority" want. Stop talking out of your butt.[/quote]
