Not sure why they bother soliciting names of players from ECNL when they are part of MLS and MLSNext is the better league.

They have a P2P program and scout the partner clubs as well as anyone else they damn well choose to scout, MLSN or otherwise. There is seriously no need to *hit on kids who have an opportunity to be scouted. If you were actually someone with expertise on the issue, you'd be employed by the academy as a scout and too busy with your actual job to be on here carrying on with MLSN>ECNL ad nauseam.

Not attacking anyone, particularly kids. I also don’t post “ad nauseum” on the topic, no need for the ad hominem attack.

Nice try but that’s exactly what you did. You’re attacking little boys’ credentials is what you’re doing. It’s gross. You don’t know these kids most likely so assuming they’re unqualified bc they play on ECNL teams is utter nonsense. It would be better for you to STFU about it and let them and their families enjoy the opportunity the boys earned. No one needs your stupid commentary.

The DCU P2P program is primarily a marketing and ticket sales initiative, mutually agreed upon by the clubs involved. While it’s presented as a legitimate opportunity, the reality is far different. Having a relationship with DCU provides little to no tangible benefits for player development. The clubs that genuinely produce talent understand that DCU is often not the best option. However, families are still drawn to it, making it more about packaging than substance. The DCU academy’s scouting department, unfortunately, lacks competence and direction, highlighting the program’s underlying issues.

Many of the clubs involved in the P2P program openly acknowledge these shortcomings. They recognize that the initiative is more about optics than actual player development, and they often voice their concerns about the lack of meaningful benefits for players and clubs alike.

Even a DCU academy scout has admitted they have no say in determining which clubs become part of the P2P program, as these decisions are entirely managed by the business side of operations.

The six teams are all ECNL, I think. It’s a vehicle for some kids outside of the MLS orbit to get a look.

Does anyone know if ECNL has a deal with Taka like MLS Soccer recently signed? It’s a great platform (so far) for MLSNext and the video clips and classifications are on point.

MLS Next teams are required to upload their game videos after each match into Taka. Taka relies on these videos to offer the service to players in the MLS Next Leagues. Not sure if ECNL uploads game videos into Taka.

I think Taka is a great option and I’ve enjoyed the individual player clips. I also enjoy being able to watch opposing team games. I will sign up for the membership once it opens up
Later this week.
