[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids play in NCSL for a small club. Our director was telling us about this and how they might switch the club to MLS Next. I had no clue what he was talking about, but now it makes sense. Will be interesting how it pans out. [/quote]

NCSL to MLSNext is wild. Totally money grab.  [/quote]

It made me chuckle.

It’s when all tournament brackets are : elite, premier, championship

Not: muddling, average, etc  :lol:

The shysters know if they put “premier elite” in the name they’ll be able to extract more &.[/quote]\

Is double platinum higher or lower than blue diamond? [/quote]

Maybe the person's kid is on an NCSL team but the club may have higher level teams.  Absolutely not getting into MLS2 if your highest level is NCSL.  I believe in this area teams in NAL were only those that had MLS2 teams from clubs that MLSN.  As it continues to grow I wouldn't be suprised if they implemented an MLSN3 for those small clubs that consistently have competitive teams.[/quote]Agree, the new MLSN II league seems already mostly built with NAL (mostly east coast) and rebadging those other leagues (mostly west coast) mentioned in the PR. Not sure they have time to add many more teams through the application process for next year considering they are starting to advertise so late.

In the end they are cobbling together an ECRL league, with associated tournaments to keep as much of the soccer youth programs locked in with birth year. They have a one year head start during the lame duck year, thanks to U.S. Soccer. Will be interesting to see if it works.[/quote]
I love how the ECNL hats are trying to throw shade in any way possible. Unfortunately for them boys have already chosen MLS.

Give it time and clubs will trade having a boys program with MLS over nothing with ECNL. If ECNL tries to pull the ECNL girls card clubs will just swith to GA over having no boys teams at all.[/quote]I have never known anybody on my kid's teams, parents or kids, to give a crude about what league they play in or hate any other league.

I am genuinely curious about your animosity with ECNL so much so that a stranger wearing a hat sets you into a meltdown.

The importance for kid soccer would be teammates, coaches and then clubs. The importance of rankings and leagues seem far down the list and very parent invented because they really don't affect the soccer experience for kids.

Running around as a fanboy boy for GA or MLSN and then have some pent rage towards ECNL/RL seems loony tunes.

ECNL/GA/ECRL/MLSN trade the same clubs and coaches back and forth and use the same refs, fields, coaching accreditations, etc. They are pretty similar.

Multiple youth leagues will always coexist and they will come and go. The leagues may be fighting over clubs to switch leagues but at the end of the day, the kids play another team every weekend regardless of league affiliation.

The only real difference between the leagues has been MLSN having waivers for a handful of boys to play a year down.

If the teams are evenly matched each weekend, the process worked regardless league.

It will be nice that there will finally be at least one real difference between the leagues when SY and BY are both in play and kids/parents have a choose.

So my question to you is, how has ECNL personally wronged you?

You don't think that you're throwing shade at anything not ECNL? Give me a break.

The reason people call out ECNL hats is because it's stupid and it's weird. Would you go to a pro football game and wear a hat that says "NFL"? Would you go to a pro baseball game and wear a hat that said "MLB"? Would you go to a pro basketball game and wear a hat that says "MBA"? Would you go to a pro soccer game and wear a hat that says "MLS"? I could go on but I think even you get the point. No matter the league or the level people wear clothing (or hats) that call out the team they support or in youth soccer's case the club/team their kid plays on.

Wearing an ECNL hat is like saying "look I'm part of the group but don't ask which team I support because they're terrible." Which everyone already knows because you're wearing a hat hyping a league not a specific team.

Make sense now?[/quote]I mean no offensive when I say I hope you can get over your feelings jealousy and negativity to people that you are judging. Rodney King, singled out for hatred and violence by responded by saying, "Can't we all just get along."[/quote]
No idea what kind of nonsense you're trying to convey.[/quote]
