So honestly, what percentage of ex-DA players do you think will make ECNL? How much ECNL do you think will get bumped?

Honestly, 100% of the DA players can make a ECNL team.

What a dumb question.

The question should be how many will bother trying?

Enjoy your new league.

ECNL should have done the right thing and rolled all the DAs in when they had the chance. Sorry but it doesn’t look like a talent infusion for your mediocre non-champions league team.

How is that “the right thing” in this case? If you roll every DA in, why not national league teams too?

Umm,because National League didn't have their league blown up by US Soccer? Isn't it obvious why they made the suggestion they did? SMDH

So you have a new league now. You can still call yourselves special. The DA tried to put ECNL out of business. ECNL is supposed to then turn around and bail the DA out?

Correction, US soccer tried to put the ECNL out of business. The clubs made a choice to participate in DA based on the flawed assumption that US soccer had stamina and credibility. Again, there’s a lot more reason for ECNL to have taken the former DA clubs than not to. There’s no reason to take National League clubs in, which was your original statement. Stop moving the goalposts. ECNL has been “special” for quite some time, and there’s no one more “special” on this forum than ECNL parents...

Not moving the goalposts. Ex-DA clubs have a league. The best league. GAL! They don’t need ECNL.

No, ex DA clubs have a league that remains mostly the same as last year with more family friendly rules to match ECNL. That is it. Your kid has a team and league to play in and ex DA kids have a team and league to play in now. Why does that bother you?

It does not. It’s good your DD still has a league and a team. My question is Why is national league excluded from the list of clubs that ECNL should’ve “done the right thing for” and let into ecnl? They’re also a nationwide league and didn’t try to put the ecnl out of business.

Why do you find it hard to accept that what’s right for you and your kid is not right for every kid? If you are an 04 parent you’ve likely spoken to me in the sideline but never once criticized me to my face yet behind the anonymous post you can preach about politics and being a smart parent.

The club’s stayed the same that you signed up for last year. If the players stay the same then what is the difference?

Club = same
Players = same
League = not same

DA is now GA
Are you suggesting that other than changing one letter in their name that nothing is different?

Arlington girls was a DA club for barely over a year before it failed. Now you expect me to believe that a rescue league that no one knew about and is being propped up to absorb what was once the DA is something so impressive that I should continue on blindly and accept that its the place to be.

I respect your choice to stay and ride it out. As for my choice I see it very differently. As for your assumption that the players are the same, I can assure you that is not the case. The majority will likely be there but the starting 11 will not all return. That I know 100% for sure.

Your assumption is you believe that a patch is what develops your kid. If your kid isn’t on a Champions League level team she is a mid major level player at best. Sorry but the patch isn’t getting your kid in front of Anson Dorrance.

Kids outside the champions league don’t go power 5?

You are misinformed honey.

Im sorry you must be mistaken my interest or intent with some other parent thinking their kid is going to play for UNC because they have a patch of DA or ECNL. Personally I would rather my kid not play college Div 1 soccer so your whole argument has no meaning. I didnt take her to Arlington DA for a patch. Her ability and their interest in her led her there. Now that its over its not particularly important to me that she has an ECNL or a GAL patch at all. She will start wherever she goes, that I know. What it leads to in college I could care less.
