My child was lowered to ECNL Regional. Is it worth it to try and move to a new club and start fresh?

Might as well go to GA which is even better than ECNL. Lots of opportunities out there.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

ECRL is not worth the expense and teams are now choosing not to attend mandatory ECRL showcases after having such poor attendance
Look at who won the regions and who actually went to Seattle this yearComment

yes! RL is not very good and very hard to move off of it once your on there. better to move somewhere elseOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

If your kid is not good enough to play on ECNL level it probably won’t play any meaningful college soccer, so being RL or GA or only other league really doesn’t matter.Comment

This sounds like a hypothetical as you wouldn't find out in mid-August that you kid got moved down. If this is true, definitely leave though. Once moved down, you'll never move back up unless there are massive departures regardless of club or age.Comment

FC Delco - they brought a bunch of girls in from outside, mostly FC Bucks, and relegated a handful of current players to Regional. From what I understand is that this is a common occurrence at the club. Shameful!Comment

I hear about 4-5 COPA players, the Delco’s last year team was, to make this sound nice, not adequate for ECNL level, so no surprises about relegation. It is called tryouts….let’s best have the spot.Originally posted by Guest View Post
still light years behind PDA, MFA or PFComment

Lots of their teams got players from teams all over LM PSC and LVU also I heard their teams have high turn over ratesOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

That is what happens when an ECNL club doesn’t develop a team’s core group of players, at young age, that will carry the team in the future. Later on, at older age competition is to good that the grabbing players from the less competitive leagues is the only way to try to compete. Well, usually they are not good at either, because the good ones are picked by good clubs at young age, and the vicious circle continueOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

I don’t believe that tryouts always weed out the best. I believe that politics and backroom deals influence selection. (I.e. this player won’t move over unless you also take these 2 players too.)Originally posted by Guest View Post
