Get ready folks

The release above basically says we delay for another year for SY change. This is a bad business practice. If there will be a change, you should do it swiftly, just like a company reorg. The rumor and uncertainty cannot stay long. I hope ECNL and GA will make the change next fall.
Sorry that I'm so dense . . . is ECNL under US Soccer?

What about GA?
 
The info I received is the same as the post. Hearing definitely no change for next Fall 25. ECNL will NOT go against the mandate. If/when Fall 26 is approved maybe will implement somthing next year. But as of now, no change.

US Soccer -> US Club Soccer -> ECNL
US Soccer -> USSSA -> GA

* Technically I believe GA can sanction itself. But I don't think they do + still use USSSA for sanctioning.
Thank you for this. So, since this is coming from US Soccer (presumably for all of its constituents), this means no organization will be switching to SY for 25/26?

Was all this talk of ECNL teams allowing roster changes to be made in the 2nd half of the current season simply untrue?

All it means (if true) is that US Soccer won't be changing from BY to SY in the near future.

There's all kinds of things ECNL can do to make their league SY equivalent even if forced to be BY.

We'll see how ECNL reacts. If they do nothing there's a lot of wasted political capital and they'll look weak.
 
I mean what do you expect from US Soccer Leadership. There is a reason US excels at almost all other sports. It takes incompetence to be as bad as we are at soccer.

Someone should email michele kang and suggest she claw back her 30mm before it goes to waste 😂

Well I guess you can save this and your 5-6 other aliases to push for SY again next year. Bye bye...

ECNL should allow top Q3/Q4 players an option to play down in their own grade to increase college recruiting exposure.

It’s coming for 26/27. The big reason for no 25/26 is a result of Dec tryouts. Worst of all worlds IMO and for me personally. This only impacts me on how I approach my kid playing up this year which is why i wanted a decision one way or other (stay BY for long run or move for 25/26) and not a 1 year delay on the change.

ECNL can do this right now.

ECNL is choosing to try and force everyone to do what they want (SY) before simply implementing it themselves.

Keep this in mind next time you think XYZ has wronged your kid for not being able to play with kids in their grade in school.

I assume you have a child who may have been adversely affected by the date change. Either that, or you haven't read all of the reasons FOR. It seems pretty clear logic to me, not really that big of a deal, as it is exactly the same but a different date. Obviously people who's children will be affected (for better or worse) would feel very invested in this discussion, especially those trying to navigate a very near tryout date.

Let's try not to create division over this. Surely we can navigate this situation better than the leadership who has been dragging affected players along for this dramatic ride since June.

See you next year ✌️
 
It seems as if the Michigan email and post is somewhat suspect with the date typo. What is the source of the ECNL screenshot above? The longer time passes with no other states sending notifications like Michigan makes it seem suspect.
