This was not done in a vacuum. It all had to be approved by the boards, ECNL, and others.

Fixed that for you. Also, that’s a big question as to how many SYC players stay or go.


Talking girls? Nobody in their right mind would leave an established (albeit, evolving) ECNL club to go play for a club that was just given a GA patch.

Fairly certain there were some girls at tryouts.


There have most definitely been some at tryouts, and I will not be surprised to see more.

So you’re telling me kids are more willing to play 2012 vda than 2012 Syc? What a joke lmao.

If you would encourage your kid to do that your kids will hate you


Yes and the fact that you have to troll threads to bring up SYC means you already know that.


What I’m saying is that not everyone cares about leagues like you think they do.

Anyone serious about playing past HS does care

Tell me you're the biggest ECNL cheerleader in the world without saying it out loud.


This is a thread about two ECNL clubs but here you are, SYC dad interjecting yourself into every conversation in a desperate attempt to feel relevant.

It’s not a dad. It’s a syc coach. They are disappointed that after calling every one of their former players in Union, that the only ones that are considering coming back are the ones that don’t make FVU.
SYC is so mad they are not getting any attention right now. FVU ruined their party. But SYC will get some of the disappointed families. They will get even more disappointed when they realize no one at SYC has any college connections.


This doesn’t even make sense. SYC GA willl require commitments before the new FXV even has tryouts

BRAVE lost ECNL and McLean didn't.


You’re making stuff up. You have no idea what happened. If anything, it’s because SYC left for GA and now Union needs a new partner. The 2010G Union team had a lot of girls from SYC. The old SYC 2010 G team had been really really good and most of that talent went Union. And no I’m not one of their parents .


This is about BRAVE’s failure in ECNL.

You are talking like anyone respects the MYS Union boys side. Both Brave and Union boys shouldn’t be in the ECNL. This merger makes sense for the boys but doesn’t for the girls.

Four years in and not a single Ecnl club has gone ga. In the same time….

Legends FC
Beach
Utah Royals
Bay Area Surf
Sporting Blue Valley
Colorado Rush
Ukrainian Nationals
Nationals Blue
Nationals Gray
Lonestar Red
Lonestar Black

With Lonestar being the first, how many others will jump to RL? Outside of the remaining 2-3 top end clubs (Tophat, NEFC… although there’s fresh rumors there !) then RL may be more appealing than GA very soon


I highly doubt that’s true. SYC dropped ECNL to go GA.

I think you will find the opposite, that is something said by a lot of the GA, is that the leagues focus in on the middle (was said on their call at the weekend by the league president).

Thats why the top end is racing to leave, it is the neglected part.


Not doubting you, I just know that in the past, these two clubs have been pretty much black listed.

Makes sense though. GA is ramping up picking up these smaller teams.

It would make sense for ECNL to just go ahead and snag the last couple of clubs left at ga

So you're not from a GA club but you know what was said in a mythical GA call (that didn't happen).

I don't believe you.

If that's true, it was the fastest conclusion of legal action in the history of the legal system. Wasn't he just fired from GFR about a month ago?

RP is not suing a person but rather a non-profit organization. He continues to do what he does best…stealing money from soccer families for doing absolutely nothing. Imagine resigning because you couldn’t get the board to fire your boss and then suing for wrongful termination. RP needs to get a life.


From what was said about it in another thread, it didn't sound like he resigned. It sounded like he was fired (and abruptly, too).
