Some ECNL clubs don’t register every age group in NPL because they have 2 age groups share the NPL games. The NPL games can be used to give minutes to players who didn’t play as much in the ECNL games. You may see an 04 team but no 05 team registered and that’s because a sampling of players from both teams played those 04 games.Yes some teams play up. Another example is MVLA 04. But what happens to the MVLA 03 ECNL team if the 04 is playing at 03 Champions League?
Yes, this has happened with my kid’s team and for exactly the reason you state.It's the other way.
Let's say MVLA is playing Rage Oct 6th in ECNL and they are slated to play each other in NPL Nov 11th. They only play the ECNL game but that score is reported as the NPL score a month later but the game never happens.
I know for a fact this happens here and there. Some will want the NPL game for playing time like you say but some are fine not to overload the main players.
In addition to just general scheduling challenges. That said, it may have been a NorCal game vs Champions league when younger.Yes, this has happened with my kid’s team and for exactly the reason you state.
yeah, I think it doesn't happen often. Only when maybe schedules get really crazy. I imagine 95 percent of all games are still played.That’s new to me. Not doubting you, but I’ve never seen that happen, or have heard of that happening.
In terms of the typical number of games that teams play, NPL wouldn't be considerably fewer. I suppose they could do more tournaments.Placer is not joining GA or ECNL. They are going to play NPL.
by choice? not judging - if by design power to them!Placer is not joining GA or ECNL. They are going to play NPL.
They chose not to go GA. They applied (again) to ECNL but were not let in.by choice? not judging - if by design power to them!
