[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a girl that loves soccer, U13.  Didn't make an ECNL team.  Agree that she isn't ready.  But she is a really hard worker, self-motivated, works outside of regular practices a lot, just loves to play.  Do any kids ever move up from ECNL-R teams to ECNL or is it mostly just movement of players between ECNL teams?  This is in Northern Virginia.[/quote]

In NJ most clubs try to promote 1 or 2 girls a year (not 1 or 2 per age group, 1 or 2 per club) to give the allusion of advancement.  These 2 are usually from very vocal parents that threaten to leave the club if not promoted.  Sadly for these girls they go from being a top player on their team to a bench warmer on the higher team.  If the player was really going to help the higher level team the club would have moved her without the threats.  But either way, the club gets their money.  This is also similar for the case of PDA Blue and PDA White which are both ECNL and in the same league, and have 1 C team in ECRL (PDA Blue ECRL is actually a different location than PDA Blue/PDA White/PDA White ECRL).  In this case, there is some movement between the 3 (mostly downwards so they can keep the money).[/quote]
