ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

Glad to hear it, even if in rumor form.

Hope ECNL just treats it as a merger and accepts the DA teams as a block.

DA is done and the announce should come in the next week or so. I’m just curious which clubs from so cal will be joining the ECNL.

I have a few rumors on that, but I will see what others have to say on that subject. What went down regarding age change back to school year?
 
If ECNL accepts them all it will be such a water downed product. Plus they would not have the field space at showcases for all these clubs. ECNL should take top clubs like Surf (a former founding member), but not clubs like Pats. I also can see them shoring up travel in other parts of the country. But, So Cal doesn't need that. There are plenty of ECNL clubs already here.

The virus hasn't got me because I have been practicing the appropriate isolation and sanitation measures. Haven't you been doing that also?

I have died in the old-fashioned sense at least twice already, but not from a virus.
 
If this happens, no way ECNL accept them all. Not feasible especially finding space at national showcase events at one big complex.

It will be hard for them to say no to Surf, Legends, Beach, etc but the normal good club, I can see them on the outside looking in. One thing for sure, ECNL president is now most powerful person in elite youth soccer! How he deals with so cal and Texas IF this happens will be very interesting. Some clubs out there will be going insane and parents trying to jump right away once announcement comes.

Watered down has its merits.

I dont really want to fly to Vegas or Utah, just for a game. playing the best teams in a 2 hour radius would work fine.

Assuming its all true, would ECNL rescind on the two team clubs to make room for additional members. The war is won, so there would be no need for them to 'negotiate' and nowhere else for those clubs to go.

SCDSL has a league for you then. And, AZ has two ECNL teams.

Why would I want SCDSL?

What I want is to let her play against the top teams close by. Not to watch her score a hat trick against the second tier every weekend until her skills sag for lack of competition.

Besides, I’m up in norcal. Next step down is ECNL regional or NPL. There isn’t much left once the ECNL/DA teams get on the plane and fly off.
