The big clubs are leaving CCL because their older teams affiliated with ECNL are now putting their B teams in ECNL Regional.

What does “much stronger” mean for 8 year olds? I’m serious. Are you evaluating 8 year old talent?

Go away. You know exactly what they mean and yes 8 year olds can be evaluated.

So say there was a tournament and 16 U9 travel teams entered...guess what would have to happen? Yep. The teams would have to be evaluated and, yes, someone would have to determine which teams were "stronger" so they can create competitive divisions. And as PP, I'm sure you know this but just trying to be an a-hole.,,but whatever.

At this age random draw would do just as well to make seedings. The league divisions are based on geography

You might think so, but you are wrong. Random draw would not produce equally competitive games than to evaluate the teams, their records, who they played, results, etc. Common sense. It's not an argument. You want to make a point of them being young and to let it go, but it doesn't work.

Haven't seen any particulars but our club gave a sense that NCSL may change slightly at U9 and U10 levels because of influx of CCL clubs. Better eye on grouping teams by ability for competitive matches but still no divisions or pro/rel at those ages. We'll see.

Your Club hates EDP Futures. Coaches like it because they can keep changing the schedule, and work it around their other games. The Clubs hate it, because coaches keep changing the schedules. That means finding new fields. And the other team having to agree to the new schedule. Or them having to agree with the opponent who needed to change the schedule.

I have heard that a lot of big clubs are leaving CCL Next Gen and going back to NCSL. NCSL will be much stronger than EDP futures.

I have not seen ncsl but edp futures is not strong.

None. The kids are 8 in their first travel season and are too small to carry their oversized backpacks

Hi

Can anyone tell me the differences between EDP Futures and NCSL at the U9 age group.

Thanks
