Anything can happen and I would not be surprised by this at all. I also would not be surprised with some clubs communicating rosters and asking for commitments now with deposits for the 20-21. There will be hard presses for parents to pay now to keep the coaches/DOC’s employed and paid. It’s going to be really interesting to see what happens and what people do and how clubs react. So will pay, some won’t.

Exactly. I moved my DD to follow her coach since the LAGSB days. Coach loves to Beach and atill
the decision for my “07 DA” DD to stay at Beach will definitely be for the coach.I’ve seen parents come and go for the badge. It falls heavily on the trust of the coach.
That makes sense. If you don't mind divulging, how is the club, coach and team dealing with this craziness?

For me personally just another day in this madness. I’ve seen a lot of change in the SB for the past two years. I’ve been thrown the word “elite”, “academy”, and everything along those lines. My coach called me first and was honest. I trust him. I have for the past 5 years. When we were told we were merging with Beach it was no different. When he called me pitching ECNRL it was no different. As long. As my daughter is happy and getting better she feels the same. Plus I know the “DA” staff as coaches were great. Heard nothing but good things.
hogwash. same argument says it was easy to take on Standard Oil or Southern Pacific.
However, I am in this for fun and good games. if you feed me plane flights for blowouts, there are other sports.
Clearly not all former DA clubs are interested in that route, or they didn't know about it before pursuing alternatives. We'll have to see how it all shakes out.
It must be time to get Teddy Roosevelt involved.
Not happening.
My best bet is ECNL gets their way and 10% of kids move. You give the olders a useless season of blowouts in ECRL, plus the same half great, half diluted ECNL they had last year.
After that wasted year, we get to find out whether there is a grown up in the room.
Rangers, SDSClub, BYSCorona all come to mind
I have posted this before. It comes down to space at showcases, this is fact, believe it or not, Surf, RSC and Charlotte got the last three spots. Louisville FC was getting in for 20-21 until this DA debacle. Not sure if the will get ECRL. There is the mandated 20-21 Regional league, B teams of ECNL teams. There was not to be cross play with this. They are waiting to see how many accept of the former DA teams into a 1 year Regional league, if enough accept this will be seperate from B team regional league. This league will have cross play in the fact the winners of their respective regions can qualify for Champions Playoffs. They are Working on logistics of regional showcases for this league too, not a guarantee.
Texas wants a 10 month season, so the former DA frontier group is floating their own league. I am sure Albion and Carlsbad are floating something too, they are not getting a spot intothe new ECNL regional league.
The clubs that have the most to lose are the bottom ECNL clubs, because in 21-22 season the whole thing will be reevaluated, bigger venues for showcases and talk of making two legit tiers. Or dropping underperforners.

Texas wants 10 months? You have to be kidding me? Who the heck wants that now? I will be the first to say, "Stop 10 months of soccer for 99% of us." Were talking youth sports, not the pros. Plus, I'm sick of this weak MLS soccer league and US Soccer. Look how MLS treats American players and look at how USSF treated our top woman players and the little girls. Then, look at how both our treating us right now. Someone was making most of the money and it sure wasn;t the players. I can read where all the money went.
Rooney: MLS owners 'taking advantage' of stars
Former D.C. United star Wayne Rooney says MLS owners are "taking advantage" of American players through the U.S.-style trade system.
I'm not trying to mock The Frontier's League 10 month league idea. I get it and my dd did it for the first year of the GDA. My question to dad. How do you sell or talk your dd into 10 months of this crap? What bribes are you offering to your goat? What do you say after your dd team wins 10-0? All these showcases are so weak too. I have to be honest today. You talk about a lack of excitement and ganas. I met one dad who was so mad he pulled his dd out and never came back. Others would say, "his dd wasnt that good anyways." BS!! The dad signed up for college exposure for his dd. Nothing like your dd getting her one start on a Sunday and all the college coaches are gone. I felt bad for him. That was two years ago. Guess what? She's going to college and playing soccer 
I think when Maps and ETOL were around these matches had ganas. I will not sign up my dd until I see everything that is required and planned for 2020-21. Wow folks, 10 months? Yuk!!! You have to be addicted and on some serious kool aid. Kool aid was not just served at the GDA. It's served everywhere with so many flavors now. "Elite Grape" "Cherry Premier" "Top Tier Mango" World Class Watermelon" and a new flavor they just developed, "Pink GAL Lemonade." You can find a coach who will serve you up whatever flavors your itching ears like to hear. I will sit on the sidelines now and watch all this play out. What kind of sport have the kids actually been playing? This is a blood bath war for market share and were all the market and of course our dd are forced to be stuck in the middle of all this sh*t. No way. I will not stand for this. HS Soccer baby!!!

Why would the clubs who are in ECNL participate in this?
And would it be FC Dallas' A teams playing against these smaller clubs, plus the C Teams for the existing ECNL clubs (since their A teams will be in ECNL and B teams in ECNL regional league)? Those games would have some ugly score lines.
I took a quick peak. I thought it looked professional and I liked most of it. 10 months is a bit too much but maybe they have a "part time goat" player for those who want to do it all and have the freedom to do that and still play? Very nicely put together under these crazy times. People in Texas do some really good things and they love their sports

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the structure of this.
Are you saying there could potentially be regular ECNL, ECRL that plays against ECNL (former DA teams) and ECRL that only plays each other (B teams of ECNL teams)?

@EOTL - on this, we concur; maybe pro without rel? as I similarly posted couple days ago (the preview window shows the wrong post but clicking on the link brings up the correct page):

Insurance in the general sense excluded communicable disease, pandemic and virus. You can thank SARS for that. Writng a policy to cover that would be very cost prohibitive for everyone. Insurance companies do not actuarial underwrite for events like this. I believe what your saying is that...
