[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL added 15 clubs this spring.

Good clubs to be sure but that is also 270 more players per age group. That is nearly 2000 kids per age group.

Again the entire league was just 900 kids. The league essentially, in one spring added nearly a third of what was once it’s entire player pool.

It is now just a showcasing platform that for most kids is no longer particularly difficult to make a team anymore. [/quote]

You mean "this spring" as in when the USSF give everyone the middle finger? You mean "this spring" when ECNL added some of the (as you say) "Elite" clubs in the nation? You mean "this spring" ECNL grew as a result of USSF incompetency?

Cool. Already knew that [/quote]

And now your kid is among 2000 other kids. How exactly did she gain any separation with the patch again?

Most kids who are competent can find a spot on a ECNL roster now. [/quote]

It was that way before. Have people seen college soccer the last decade? There aren’t a thousand special players. There are probably 20-30 kids per age group in the area that matter. Most directors just try and make their players feel like their on that list, until one shows up and minutes are “adjusted”. Which is harsher still because even all of those 20-30 aren’t really all that special.  But man, do I love this forum. You all really help pass the time in quarantine. Flame away.......[/quote]

There aren’t a 1000 special players is true, and ECNL is pushing 2000 per age group and parents are pounding their chests about it.

I just believe that there is a point of dilution that will have the mega clubs sour on the league. They need to protect their brand and ego too. [/quote]
