I think that the ECNL should set up a second league of 72 clubs. This would create a top league and a second league. Every year they should move the bottom 7 clubs to the 2nd league and move the top 7 clubs up based on overall club performance. One club from each conference up and one down. Thoughts?

Might be smart for ECNL to get more clubs while it can otherwise clubs will band together in a different league and be just as competitive as ECNL.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
End of the day, if you do not have enough of QUALITY training hours, there is no point in travelling and playing, specially none of it is a revenue generator but only an expense?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What it might do is eliminate R3PL. Most likely many of the clubs that participate in R3PL would be the next clubs looked at. R3PL is actually a bigger expense then ECNL and it would tier the clubs based on performance.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

ECNL is important for club business or player development?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

ECNL is the best league nothing is close. They will add a couple of clubs in the southeast division and then it will be closed. Tophat and jfcOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Adding clubs would only water down the talent and work against exactly what ECNL is trying to accomplish. That is to provide top clubs regionally that dedicated players are willing to make the commitment to travel to in order to play the best competition. Sucks to live in North or South Florida right now, but adding clubs doesn't serve a purpose for ECNL. Jacksonville girls are already playing at both OC and WFF, and this will become more common as players see this as their best opportunity.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Don't disagree at all. though In our state they have, its the NPL (FPL). I'd throw the R3pL in there too but they are in there by team, not club.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

ECNL can provide a good platform to showcase and compete against the best in games.
but games do not develop players.
Players are developed through standardized training curriculum.
If ECNL cannot enforce its own standards to its existing clubs, what is the point in expanding it?Comment

FPL/NPL is US Club like ECNL is US Club. I suggest instead of a second ECNL league there be a Premier League of clubs under FYSL/NYSL. College coaches could recruit better from 2 elite leagues.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Umm, isn't that called the National League? Or did you think they should start another Premier League just so your club could sign up without actually earning your way in.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Does ECNL take clubs and USYNL invite teams? ECNL clubs are locked in and not more will be included.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

In golf, they are called driving range pros. In other words they can hit it close to every marker on the driving range, but they suck when they play on the course when there is real pressure on every swing. To say that games do not develop players shows your ignorance to not only soccer, but all sports in general.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
You train so that when you do play games you do not have to think when you make a play, it comes naturally. Training, repeating technical movements and plays to make them a reaction, instead of a thought, is the purpose of training. Playing against "cones" will never deuplicate an opposing player no matter how quick you can dribble by that cone! Gamers as they are called, play at a level you will never see duirng training. These special players drive coaches nuts during training for their lack of effort, but always come through during games. The speed in which you train is not close to what a player will see during a game. The agressiveness during training will never match the intensity of a game. The pressure to win can never be duplicated during training.
And then you bash McDonalds which is the most successful corporation in the world! If every company were run like McDonalds then there would be a lot of very successful people in the world! You have amazed us all with your lack of knowledge for business and soccer! And to think you probably have kids! OMG!Comment
