We never saw anybody try to take her out while playing high school soccer so I am not sure that is an actual thing..

Great post and congrats again to your daughter. Hopefully we will get to see her play when the world starts up again.

While players purposefully trying to take out a player it does happen. When DD was a freshman she was in a game where I knew the referee. The next day the ref said that after DD scored her second goal, the ref overheard the opposing defense saying something about "take out #??". The ref warned them that if anything happened to any player on DD's team that those defenders would not play the rest of the season. I still think HS soccer (and other sports) can be a great experience and should be allowed for anyone that wants to play.

Does any of this even matter? ECNL may be gone too after all of this is over.
Scientists predicting social distancing until 2022. I’m not really too worried about
what league or college my dd attends at this point. Online learning until at least 2021.

The Los Angeles Unified School District announced that all LAUSD Athletic fields/gyms/weight rooms will remain closed throughout the summer so:
#1 - High school football is in jeopardy along with other fall sports
#2 - No fields for club soccer teams to practice at.

Hey fuck head, get a life. I have been working long hours and with no travel I have had less time to come on the forum. Glad to see that i live in your head loser. I am sure you are panicking, that;s right Rebels does not belong in a league with Surf. As soon as ECNL's contract is up, i am sure you will be gone. Carlsbad is deserving if they are limiting spots in SD. Beach and Legends has proved themselves too. This whole mess is sad for the kiddos especially during a lock up, the uncertainty of everything and they have no control to do anything right now. So continue to gloat for now loser, your time will expire soon. Now go back to you recliner and eat your Takis and drink your Corona, some of us have work to do.

This is correct if you believe that these are all the same people, which they are not. Surf has had big changes in the hierarchy over the last several years. So the people there now making these decisions are not the ones you reference and allude to. As an organization, point taken, but the makeup of the people and DOCs making these decisions are not entirely the same.
And does any of this really matter right now? Kids won’t be playing for a lot longer then most think.
And I thought ElleJustus?? said he/she was going to shut up? PLEASE, please stop posting

Lol the DOCs at Surf don't make any decisions. They are the marketing arm for El Presidente. Same person is making the decision and has for a long time.

No Legends, Beach, Albion...what a joke. We finally get a chance to create a unified top league and can't even do that when it's there for the taking.

Agreed. If you go in to ECNL, you are going to be in a league where you play the same teams 2-3 times a year. So why not make that league all southern CA teams? Driving five hours to Phoenix doesn't mean you are playing better competition. It just means you are spending more money to play the same amount of games. Everyone knows who the best clubs are. If the DOC's cared about their kids they'd put all the teams in one league and go from there. Even in DA you only played the teams from other conferences 3-6 times a year. That can still happen without the cost and without trying to sell parents on bullshit.

Damn it EOTL, you are like the second coming of MAP. You started out seeming a bit full of yourself, but damn if you do not make a lot of sense.

I might not narrowly define playing in the PAC-12 or ACC as college soccer success, but your point is spot on.

Sir sometimes calling it as you see it makes you seem like you are chicken little or even Doctor Doom but at no point was it malicious (Caliklines is my only exception).

I’ve heard parents at u10 games say the same thing about taking out a player. And I’m sure it happens at ecnl and da games too.

I wasn’t asking about GDA.

I was asking you how many girls tore their ACL in ECNL last year. i also asked how many tore their ACL at your ECNL club last year.

You aren’t answering. That bad?

We had at least 6 (one of which was my DD) across two age groups all within 2 months of each other. Does that give you what you need?

I’m not derailing the thread. It was still about ECNL and DA just gave a different perspective.
ECNL, DA, new league, old league, whatever....we have time to decide.

how dare you or others try to infringe on our right to bitch/gloat/daydream/prognosticate about where youth soccer is heading in the midsts of a pandemic with intermittent reminders about the fact that we have no freaking clue what's gonna happen in the coming months to next year or so? ;)

You think JM, the long time Surf Pres is making these decisions??? Hilarious. And I stated “entirely!” There are some folks still there, but not all. DOCs there now are also a VP and one of the main DMs. Look at who their top Senior DOCs are there now and ask yourself if they do not influence any of the decision making.

Absolutely. The DOCs might influence the outcome but JM is pulling the strings.

My dd has played both ECNL and DA, ECNL was nothing more than SCDSL with some playoffs thrown in. DA has provided an excellent platform and dd is now committed to a top D1 school. I do agree the sub rules were not necessary but did not result in any injuries other than skinned and bruised legs and a few ankle sprains, which happens as they get older. In the last two and half years with DA, there have not been any ACL tears and only one mild concussion on her team. By the way, DA protocol of professional brain assessment prior to the beginning of the each season was great. Having a trainer at every game was great, ACL warm up before every practice and game was good....

Did they use PEP, or another ACL warmup?

I just wish there was decent data. All the data I have seen focuses on HS soccer overall. One study puts the risk at about 4-5% per player per year.
Another puts it at 12.2/100,000 AE. (roughly 2-3% per player per year.)

But those are underestimates, because they include a lot of low intensity players.

Which is why I ask how many girls tore their ACL in ECNL games/practices last year. I know, from the overall statistics, that it is probably one oer team or higher.

Funny, Surf has this web page on their site but not accessible from the main page. Even funnier is you type ENCL in the search bar at the main page and it comes back with no results...

Did they actually get accepted for membership or are the hoping to get that?

Didn't surf also post/say they were in ECNL previous years and later was like oh DPL is better and aligns with our plans. When ECNL girls actually has a official post about Surf or others on there site, I buy it until then seems like another rumor to keep parents paying.
