ECNL for the North Atlantic or Northeast has always started in late November for the U15 and older age groups. This year is no different.

Except this year there’s no HS soccer to fill the now to Nov time.

So I looked at one age group that has previously been mentioned as one of the best from Philly to Richmond, the 05 team. Over the last year, there was only 1 tournament where Pipeline played an ECNL team.

DELAWARE FOOTBALL DEFC 05 GIRLS 0 - 1 PIPELINE SC PRE-ACADEMY
FC DELCO ECNL '05F 0 - 4 PIPELINE SC PRE-ACADEMY
PHILA UKR NATIONALS 05 BLACK 0 - 3 PIPELINE SC PRE-ACADEMY

They won all 3. Of note is 2 of the teams are now GA, 1 ECNL.

Point of comparison Pipeline beat Del 1-0.
FCV beat Del this past weekend 6-2.

Not the same FC Delco team that has 3 ECNL wins?!

Quit to do what? Did they quit soccer? Are they going to another ECNL team? Why did they quit?

That 05 team was very strong but I believe that some of their former players did not rejoin the team once coming back from DA and are instead playing up a year at Pipeline.

they left for maryland united and celtic-union

Why leave now and not this summer? My guess is that these were not top players and instead of sitting on the bench they went to places where they could play. I don't see a starter with ambitions to play college leaving Pipeline, which just joined the ECNL, for any 05 team in the region. If with the loss of players who moved up to U17, Pipeline is still one of the top 05 teams in the DMV.

Here with go again with Pipeline Dad bragging about a Pipeline team before any ECNL games have been played by the 05 team. You better hope that team performs better than the 08 and 07 teams in ECNL.

Not Pipeline dad, but the older teams (06, 05, 04 and 02) have done better than the younger teams over the past few years.

I think I said look at past games. If you look at past tournaments, Pipleine did play ECNL and some DA teams and teams that are currently in GA.

Is it worth visiting the past games of the Pipeline teams? From what I know Pipeline deserves is spot in ECNL and has been competitive since 2018 against ECNL/DA teams. Any coach in the regions knows Pipeline is one of the top teams between Philly and Richmond. Anyone who says differently is a hack.

You mean older teams that have played against B and C teams in second tier, regional leagues? They were not playing ECNL or DA/GA teams then.

Keep writing these posts, and let's see how well they age once the older girls have played some ECNL games.

Um, ok, you’d seem to take this thread a bit too seriously. Lighten up
