ECNL expansion 2021-2022

Heard a rumor that ECNL told CA teams that won't be able to participate in any games until CA opens up for sports again. (Meaning out of state league games or showcases. Not sure about non-ECNL tournaments)
Can anyone confirm?

I spoke to an ECNL coach last night and they said that they are hoping the Nevada governor will open things back up so Las Vegas can at least host league games. But they don't believe it will happen and apparently Players Showcase is already looking to move to April just in case the governor extends the pause.

True. They did not allow CA teams to attend either Florida or Arizona ECNL showcases because US club insurance is not valid if an entity is violating state health guidance. That will continue until Ca removes the verbiage in the youth sports guidance they says “teams must not participate in out of state tournaments”.
Non-ECNL tournaments are going to be tricky too going forward because clubs will still need an insurance provider and all have now said they won’t cover teams violating guidance. They could still attend without insurance I guess, but I doubt any will.

League games are still on for certain states or cities like in AZ. Same with the Tournaments, several going on president day weekend with ECxx teams.

Showcases have been a no go and the planned Tuscon one end of the month has been postponed for the boys.
 
ECNL doesn't keep historical records so I don't know what the standing were last year, specifically for the SW conference. The DA (before they went poooof) was usually competitive through the top seven (winning records), then 500 or sub 500 through eleven, then non competitive from 12-14 (I took a look at the SW conference from last year).

My job involves number crunching and and I'm a bit of a numbers nerd lol........I have all the data from DA and ECNL last season and with the help of another parent on here we posted up the club charts last year. Here is ECNL by age group for 2019-2020 when the season as halted at the 60 percent mark by Covid-19........ I'll try and find DA it is buried on my desktop somewhere..........

The guidance does not say you cannot play league games out of state. It just says tournaments. So I don't think this affects league play in other states. Nevada's pause only lasts until mid-february and their numbers are way down, so I would be surprised if they do not open back up.

California is likely to open soon anyway.

Are you thinking Legends is the only one in this year?
 
I’m thinking ECNL takes Top Hat, Legends, Beach & FC Virginia plus a few others in places like the mid west where the travel isn’t great.
 
It's always better to have even number of teams. Otherwise, one team has to sit out every weekend.
This makes sense to me. So it is most likely 0 added or both Beach and Legends. Does ECNL have an absolute need to add teams this year ?
 
Everyone call the Governors office !
(916) 445-2841. Call everyday until they open California up. I got through, spoke to rep. I told them they should open outdoor sports, explained my reason, pointed out hypocrisy. I've ask for the his Senior staff to call me.

Players Showcase doesn’t even list the girl’s tourney, for March, on their site. There’s a date for the boys... I think 1 or 2 weeks before.
