I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but will the "academy" clubs put their best teams in this league or ecnl 2?
Why would the clubs answer this? seems some ambiguity is in their interest.
I believe somebody posted previously that this club was Kentucky Fire, rebranded.
Master of the Wilderness, we can’t compete. Best tracker in the world that’s why he’s so elusive fooling the best human trackers in the world.@Luis Andres only so all others don't get all huffy and puffy for talking to Luis. I don;t PM too many folks here for obvious reasons. He's been on lock down too. I will say I'm impressed sweet Lou with how well behave you have been. Watch this video and especially towards the end. I feel like life and soccer has been one big, big foot chase. What do you think Luis only? This is not for anyone else, only my pal Lew

From what I understand most are rolling the dice on ECRL for next season and making their DPL teams the "academy" team. This may only be for next season pending the outcome of ECNL expansion (or lack thereof). It also appears this may be unique to the SW region.

I’ve got to imagine these clubs will take the approach of trying to destroy every team they face in the ECNL regional al league so they can say to the ECNL, “Look, we clearly belong in ECNL.” Putting their A teams elsewhere and not finishing near the top of the table in every ECNL regional league age group isn’t a good look.

Winning ECRL means making the ECNL playoffs. Then making some noise in the ECNL playoffs in several age groups would make for a strong argument for full inclusion in 2021-22.

Do you have to come in first place to make playoffs? I think they should have those teams with us now. I know four teams right now in the new ECRL SW 04 teams that would be the favorite to win ECNL this year. The madness of this is lame. Let's add the four teams now so we have 18 in SW. The GA League winner can get a seat at 2021-2022 ECNL League and ECRL winner too. Drop two last place teams. Just a thought I had just now.

Right, except that there are four other DA teams and Blues DA/ ECNL teams now playing in ECRL. I don't think its going to be the cakewalk some are predicting.
Add Slammers too that mix and maybe a few other surprises in the ECNR local league. I watched both GDA Blues 04 and ECNL Blues 04 and they were both really good. The biggest compliment I have for both teams was their effort. ECNL 04 was second team and were super tough when my dd team played them. Great coach who coached the girls without screaming at them. Watch out for Blues in ECNR, Super fast and athletic and I also heard they picked up a few additions because. I will move them in my top 10 now based on the information I just got. If you think they were fast before, just wait. Both leagues will be good you guys. Q, Can a ECNL player also roster with ECNR team and can ECNR player get called up to the big squad if they prove themselves? Is their a max or can numerous players move up and down on any given Sunday? This is going to be a trip and weird but whatever.....

I did a boo boo. Slammers is in ECNL. My mistake. Blues will be very good in both leagues and don;t be surprised with how these regional teems will be. My dd actually fits regional "local" way better.

The assumption here is that every club wants to be in ECNL. For the Girls Academy (GAL) clubs, I don't believe this is the case. They want GAL to be successful and an equal if not the superior league to ECNL, and the top teams at those clubs will be GAL teams.
That’s not the case for Beach (at least the 07’s), the former DA team will play ECRL and the former DPL team will play GAL.
I like that. Equal sounds better in today's world but by all means go with Superior. I was told and sold and told some more how superior that GDA league was going to be over ECNL and look at them now. I saw one year of it and didn;t see competition the way ECNL does competition and we got out. Some stayed GDA and lost ECNL membership. Choices we make........Others were waiting for a chance and they grabbed the bull by the horns and jumped on.
ECNL currently has 4 divisions during the postseason.
1) Champions League
2) North American Cup
3) Showcase Cup
4) Open Cup
The top 32 teams during the regular season qualify for the Champions League, where the ECNL National Champion is crowned, and those are the only real playoffs, while the Cup divisions are showcases. The next highest of group of teams from the regular season qualify for North American Cup and so on.
The ECRL teams quality for the Open Cup, which has the lowest seeded teams from the ECNL regular season.
Unless ECNL makes changes to this, ECRL teams making the postseason next year will only be playing ECNL’s lowest ranked teams in a postseason showcase.
Oh my. Game changer. These teams will have to go GA League and then send their B teams to ECNR. Baller, I already told my dd if her team doesn;t make Champions League Playoffs, we stay home. We dont do "NIT" in our house

“We’re certainly not in a position where we’re gonna be adding dozens more clubs,” ECNL president Christian Lavers said on Friday. “We may add a few more clubs across the country, and that decision will be made here in the coming weeks. Texas is one of the areas where we’re trying to figure out what is the right number of clubs, what is the right density of clubs and cities.”
