In the end I believe it all comes down to the clubs. I feel like it’s gonna be a mix of all 3 (ABC) teams like how the pyramid works in Mexico or Spain where you have a teams A team, a teams B team, and a teams C team all in one group. The email I received regarding our interest in participating in the NPL West states that clubs from the new MLS Academy League were participating so they’d probably put their B teams. If some ECNL teams put their B teams in ECRL then the NPL West will probably house their C teams. If our club was to be accepted into the NPL then that’s where our A team would go.
I believe leagues are just leagues and every league has its good & bad teams whether you’re playing at the recreational, club, or elite levels.
Here in SoCal for example at the U18 bracket you have Coast SL, SCDSL, Presidio SL each with individual flights, CRL, USYS National League, the 3 NPLs (NPLW,SCNPL,NPLSW), the ECNL and the now upcoming ECRL, and even the UPSL is running it’s own U18 program. It’s so hectic that it’s easy for parents to be fooled but to each their own.
