I don't remember if it was the ACL thread or another that had a bunch of research based info. However, I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for.... at least not specific to soccer. They are more reports that focus on "sports related" along with common age ranges. You'll have to do some searching.

Evidently not for soccer unless your contract specifically says that in the Pac12. It is certainly not to be assumed if not specified.
Multiple friends there. Different reasons. Mostly georgraphic and if your kid is on a great team with friends then you bite the bullet. Like any large organization there are good and bad people there. No different than any other club. But if you have ever dealt with Grace and Mauricio, then you will know that the top of the organization is rotten to the core. People are aware of that but try to just do what is best for their child regardless of the operators of the club.

ECNL takes it’s time in announcing new members. It’s like every other day a member or two get announced.

Reading the Pats announcement -- it looks like their girls teams will compete in the ECRL with. That email and the quote from Lavers says that ECRL will be a "competition-based measurement for club membership into ECNL".
It will be interesting to see how this works. Does the club get promoted to ECNL? Is there relegation? What other teams are in ECRL?

Well mine is from personnel experience. Just telling you to get it up front all four years in writing. Nothing more will be said unless you are you know who and I am PM'd.Not true: "Athletic scholarships will be guaranteed for four years for student-athletes in all sports "

There are a bunch of you tube videos on ACL prevention for soccer players. I ended up with a pretty simple exercise program for my DD. Our rule is that if you want to play, then its 3-4 times a week for the ACL program. That's what DD would be doing post- ACL surgery (and alot more), so if she wants to play 3-4 times a week is a requirement. I see myself as responsible to her 25-year old self, too.

On the boys ECNL side, it was specifically stated in Arsenal's letter to parents that there will be promotion/relegation between the tiers going forward. We will have to see if this will indeed apply to the girls.
Currently (19-20 season) ECRL consists of the B teams of each of the ECNL SW clubs. However, the AZ teams did not participate, and Heat is only in U15. They indeed kept it "Regional", so that was a good thing.
I think this is a good decision by Pats to go with ECRL vs trying to join others (rumor only) to form another closed league.
That’s fine. Make your decisions based on how you want youth soccer to be, instead of how it is. If you want to file an antitrust claim against ECNL,
go for it. If you think Albion or some other second rate club your kid’s best path to Stanford, ok. In reality, ECNL’s “sophistry” has important legal and practical consequences. Specifically, it gets what it wants and you don’t. You can argue all you want, it doesn’t change what is.
What are you hoping to accomplish here? Catharsis that other dumb people share your self-pity?
Already for the insults?
As I said. I am trying to decide whether to bite the bullet and quit the sport for safety reasons. You guys run a meat grinder, and all you seem to care about is who gets to turn the crank.
