[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL going to a relegation system for clubs. BRYC out Arlington in. [/quote]
This would do two things:
1. Force Clubs to focus on developing players to make them better.
2. Forces clubs to recruit proven coaches to get the kids better.

Because if not, you will be Bounced like BRYC. [/quote]

Stop the pro/rel dream, this isn't Europe.

Relegation never forces clubs to develop players. It forces clubs to win and collect players. Pro/Rel does not work when parents are footing the bill. As a parent I want stability for my player. As a parent I want a predictable showcase landscape.  Pro/Rel only works in a open league environment. ECNL is a closed league. There is no true objective way for a outside club to earn their way into the league. ECNL can convince clubs to join ECNL R with the hope of working their way in but that doesn't exist and moving from ECNL R to ECNL is still an application process. For pro/rel to work ECNL would have to put a hard cap on the size of the league.

ECNL is a showcase league and nothing more. It is not a pro league for kids. It's only attraction is for players who aspire to play in college and beyond. Parents will take their kids to a ECNL club for the showcasing and they are not interested in whether a club is going to be in the league from year to year.
