I've seen kids getting moved from RL to NL and after a season, able to snatch the starter spot but often than not, those kids who get moved up need time to adjust to the speed of play in the NL competition. Depend on the team/ club, speed of play between NL and RL could be significant.

I'm pretty sure and willing to bet the farm the speed of play between RL and NL isn't much different

Hate to break it to you, but you just lost the family farm.

+1.

Players can play faster (if that is the system) and decision-making is MUCH faster in NL. Are there kids that can run just as fast in RL? Sure. But they can't think, pass, and handle the ball as fast.

In talking to a DIV 1 college coach who went to ECNL College Showcases last season for both NL and RL in Florida, he said that you'll find a quality player in ever 3 games in a RL showcase. Some RL teams do field multiple quality players consistently, like Arlington and Pipeline, but they are the outliers.

He said for a NL Showcase, ever single game has multiple players that are quality.

The reason he goes to the RL Showcase is because ECNL schedules the Showcases for RL and NL back-to-back, which makes it convenient and not too costly, and he gets to spend a solid week in Florida during the colder days of January/February.

As long as he is looking in both, he will find a quality player. Quality player can even be on the street. You don’t have to be in ECNL to be a quality player. You just have to be at the right place to be spotted. Take South American or African players for example. All you need is a scout to go to the favelas or streets and you will recruit the likes of Ronaldinho and Vinicius. Remember 90% of the kids in ECNL NL are there because of the parents politics.

Lot of dumb in this response.

While 2010 Beach may not be that much different than their RL team.

I don't think it's the same at every club. This is probably hold tru for 2011 Arlington NL & RL and very different for 2011 Wilmington team.
