They should take it back, the clubs at the bottom of that table should have never been admitted in the first place. It waters down the league... some of those ECNL RL teams at the bottom of the table were playing NCSL Divison III before they were admitted. Those clubs are getting hammered and families are leaving.

Take back? It's an ECNL product.

ECNL will make 'Pre-ECNL' official so parents of U10-U12 can experience crazy travel distances and attend showcases.

Obviously you're not from the area. It's already official, and you play the same teams you play when you're in ECNL-RL.


Here yes. A few others as well, I just meant they will make it official for U10-U12 through ALL of their conferences.

Ohio already has this and Pre-ECNL North Atlantic U12 are the same clubs as U13+

This already happens in girls Academy.


The only official 'Pre' anything GA offers is for U12 in the Northeast conference and its essentially regional. They also offer U12 spots for events, I assume to give players a taste of what those are like, just like ECNL. ECNL is well on its way to fully establishing Pre-ECNL for everybody, they've added multiple leagues, some U12 only and some have U10-U12. The next evolution will be adding U10-U12 to events!
