Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

I think the only thing that would cause ECNL to take more clubs is if something else is successful.

That alone is a good reason to put a team in GAL, or whatever else has traction.

Players can be registered with more than one org like this instance, e.g. I've seen ECNL players play in local state leagues, generally as guests when a club wants a result (maybe) and they can do that as the player can be registered with both USYS and US Club at the same time. There was nothing to stop the clubs continuing to have their DPL teams in both the DPL league & local - that's their choice, not a DPL league restriction.

Hi, ECNL has what’s called Discovery Players which can be on another team in a Non-ECNL League. We had this last Fall where my DD’s team has two players join the team for a few games and showcases but played on a different team in a different league day-to-day.

Absolutely not, keep dangling the carrot. I wonder what the landscape will look like in a year from now. I was sure that West Coast would have gotten back in ECNL for the girls. They have arguably the most respected coach in the West. Maybe Surf not happen with them pulling out of their deal and threw their weight around? And the only weight I am talking about is control of fields for large tournaments.
Funny how Beach and Legends have to prove themselves when they have over and over again. Unlike Sharks and Rebels who cannot get good teams together last year despite being the only ECNL in San Diego. I wonder if they don’t do well this year, whether Surf will have an excuse to get rid of them and once again control all of SD ECNL. I wonder if Sharks and Rebels will continue to play favorites or actually try to prove themselves to retain ECNL by recruiting the best players?

interesting how quiet Albion and Carlsbad families have been on the forum lately. I truly feel sorry for Carlsbad whose teams seem close nit and the Albion boys teams who also appeared to have good chemistry in many but not all cases. Wonder what Ginns is planning, a lawsuit as he threatens when things don’t go his way.
Finally, has any club taken deposits for next year? Albion was notorious for doing that 6 months before the start of the season.

How are Rebels playing favorites? They just got ECNL in the middle of April of last year when all of the teams were already formed. I understand the comment about Sharks who have had ECNL for a few years and still aren't getting players to compete in most age groups. Hopefully both clubs can use this opportunity to get better. There are a lot of players at Albion that live in the South Bay. Rebels need to recruit better and take advantage of all the talent the south bay has to offer.

That is one of our options. Play local HS Soccer, Local club and then play a few games when the big ones come and all of the playoffs at ECNL . The point of "local club" is to play local so you can stay local. Great options out there for all of us, regardless of club.

Do you think ECRL is enough for those clubs to keep their top players?

The ECNL’s press release doesn’t have the standard ECNL verbiage about being “all in” and committing top teams to ECNL-R. Are these clubs still hedging their bets on trying to piece something together with GAL and/or better terms for top teams to have cross-play or showcase participation with ECNL? Around the country there are several pockets of former DA clubs that still seem to be in limbo:

Southwest conf — sc Del sol, Utah royals, Galaxy
Nor Cal/WA/Ore/Utah/Colorado — entire NW division of DA (quakes, reign, cal thorns, Portland thorns, placer, lamorinda, la roca), Colorado Rush
TX/Frontier — FCD, Houston Dash, sporting Bv
Northeast/mid Atlantic - nefc, penn fusion, fc virginia, sky blue, several others
SE — Tophat, Weston
Midwest — entire Midwest division of da (nationals, sockers, fc United, fc cinci)
A lot of these clubs were previously in ECNL, even before its significant expansion over the past few years, and should be viable candidates to return. They seem far too spread out geographically and too limited in numbers to form a viable program under the GAL umbrella (especially without the so cal clubs), and the programs affiliated with pro clubs probably aren’t good candidates for the new USYSA expansion of national league (because they aren’t USYSA members and don’t always run broader youth programs). There’s still lot to sort out in this whole mess.

I was wondering if the ECNL tells its clubs not to participate in GAL/DPL.

I am sure ECNL would, because they would want the 2nd team to participate in ECRL. However, for the Clubs being admitted into ECRL, they would t be able to tell them their 2nd team couldn’t play in another league. It is my understanding that Lvars didn’t make any commitment in writing to these Clubs being granted entry into ECRL and that was presented to me upfront but it is a risk I am willing to take, especially with this year being fairly unpredictable.

Is there anything in the statements that actually says ECNL will accept more teams next year?

Quote from the statement is very generic and doesn't guarantee or lay anything out for promotion / acceptance into ECNL:

“The ECNL Regional Leagues are an important platform for players and clubs to fuel development of players, and to provide a proving ground in competition,” said Jen Winnagle, Commissioner, ECNL Girls. “Since launching the platform last year, the ECNL Regional Leagues have seen significant growth and are being celebrated as a strong resource for players and clubs.” ECNL Girls Regional Leagues are designed to service a deeper player pool from member clubs of the ECNL, and to provide a competitive platform for objective evaluation of new clubs to become ECNL member clubs in the future.

Albion has.

Thank you.

I agree with 1-4. Can even go further with #3 and put in a maximum number of minutes played per player. Extend it to youngers so you don’t trash your mini-superstars like PSV does.

Disagree on 5. You can’t solve a problem without data. Mandatory reporting of all ACL tears is a good place to start, especially if you index it so the biostatisticians can try to identify patterns.

Why do you think I am anti-vaccine climate change denier and all that? I’m a math geek from Berkeley. I get my vaccine and climate data from Science News, not Breitbart.

Happy to have a grown up discussion on injuries. start a new thread?

In your opinion could Beach field 3 teams, ECRL/GAL/DPL? I'm hearing some clubs may indeed do that and hedge their bets in a way in case ECRL doesn't pan-out. The Beach DPL teams at the 3 oldest ages were pretty strong, they could give the DA clubs in the GAL a run. Then after next season reevaluate...

What about Albion? Any news on where they are at, along with Vegas Albion they are in Limbo also...
 
what the heck is GAL? I can't keep up with all of this. And do the composite ECNL teams still exist with all these changes?
