I heard the tournament was just to get games when everything else was getting canceled

So ECNL is strong competition like a Pipeline match...both leagues have clubs/teams that dont belong

Doesnt development also have to do with Coaching Staffs...why leave for average at best coaching staffs...should research this

if small rosters with the so called best league...that would scare me to why arent kids flocking to play for them[/quote]

I agree with you on Pipeline at this age level. You’ve got to admit, though, that the rest of the ECNL schedule is more more challenging than the GA schedule.

You’re also partially right on development. Coaches play a large part, but so does the quality of your teammates at practice, and the quality of opponents in games. If practice with a good coach was all it took to develop, a player could just do personal training and skip the whole the thing. I know that’s not what you were intending with your comment above, but you have to acknowledge there’s more to development than just the coach.

As for small rosters, I think many of the ECNL teams in this age group - MDU, Bethesda, McLean - had small rosters at the start of the year and are holding spots for expected movement of players from some other teams, primarily GA teams, that did not happen last spring because of covid. McLean added a MF from Arlington mid season, Bethesda added a player mid season . . .  Expect more movement this spring with things returning to normal.

People will then complain about 18 -20 person rosters. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. [/quote]
