[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If that’s the case then why so much talk here about which ECNL/GA teams are better? As long as you are on any of the teams they will be playing at the same events. [/quote]

Well, everybody wants to be on a winning team, right?  It’s fun to win and a lot of parents obviously enjoy bragging about how “awesome” their kids team is. This message board definitely attracts those type of people.

To your point, which I agree with, if your DC is playing in the Jeff Cup showcase weekend, for example, and coaches from a school that they’re interested in and have communicated that interest to are going to be there, they’re going to be able to see your player regardless of whether their team is playing in the top bracket, the bottom bracket or somewhere in between.  Yes, the brackets are often spread out among different fields so that may require some traveling, but the point is, if a college coach is interested in you, they’re not going to say “oh no, your team isn’t in a high enough bracket so I’m not going to bother watching you play.”  That’s not simply my opinion but rather my experience.[/quote]

The twist is that an ECNL team will have more events with coaches present, so they may be watching someone else during the Jeff Cup, but may be able to come out to a league game because there are four other girls they are looking at who will be playing. If your kid plays for a lower league, it may be one or two tournaments or bust [/quote]
