Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo offense but having fun is only part of it. For what ECRL is supposed to be vs the level it actually is is a travesty. Not every parent knows the difference and wind up driving an hour plus to practices thinking they are doing what’s best for their kid to play in a league made for b teams. Players should have fun but once they start hitting the USYS level they need to look at the level of commitment and hard work a head vs just playing with friends. They also need to look at where they want to go with soccer. If my D ever said she just wants to have fun and wasn’t looking to play in college then she will be playing township ball. If she wants to seriously work towards playing for a top college then D needs to work on planning a path and work hard to execute it.
That is why league matters. Your D wants to get better? Then she needs to play to her level. No college coach or professional player ever said wow, look at them go tearing through the local league.
Ok first things first nobody’s daughter should ever want to be a “professional” soccer player. Secondly most normal people understand that scholarships if you want to call them that are but for a handful of kids. So again play have fun and always start there.

No kidding. But irrelevant to the review of the competitiveness (or lack thereof) of the league.

Why are so many people worried about whether ECRL is any good or not? Make the right choice for your kid and go with it.

I bet you are an accountant or mortician and want your kids to follow in your footsteps.

I would guess on the whole people actually don't care excepting the odd duck who gets mad at the parents who claim their kid plays ecnl but plays regional instead. I think the bigger issue is misinformation. Someone might come on here and gone away with an impression of ecrl that goes with the sales pitch they got from a coach. It's like what happened with the alliance league. People were told one thing an the opposite was true. I'm glad your kid turned out well from the experience but the vast majority of people on here have started ecrl is the red headed step child of ecnl. Bad competition, lots of promises of ecnl move ups, etc.
