Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI always thought ecnl was very picky about the players they chose. Looking at my daughter ecnl team the talent level is all over the place. My daughter teammates consist of players that are below average to above average. How is this even possible? A few of the girls should not be on the ecnl team.

Talent is a HUGE problem. Too many coaches promoting kick and run.
Take a look at the 2021s that are recruited. No one stellar. Some good names but nothing stellar.
Look at the 2020s. Whos playing, whos transfering and who quit all together.
2019s. Same.

It's called fractured talent base.... In the TB area the best players are split up between TBU, WFF & FP. Put them all together and they compete nationally. Parents pride gets in the way.

There should be no expansion. Substitution like a relegation scenario. Yes some clubs have done well and proved worthy adversaries but it’s the culture of the DOC’s that need improvement. DOC’s should be working together to facilitate the local program to insure the best is on those teams. Recognition should go to the parent club of said player if any accolades are awarded.

It’s all about getting your kid scouted
It’s a team sport when everyone’s getting paid to play
FL lacks in club structure. Most big clubs in FL will have a good team within their club, but mot times FL clubs are not good from U12 to u19. The big clubs in NY, Philly, NJ, Balt/DC, Chicago, SoCal and TX are good top to bottom and across levels; meaning the ECNL, ECNLR and the USYS (or USclubs) teams are good club wide. This could be possible in FL.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWinning is a factor when recruiting players. College coaches and pro scouts like kids that have a strong desire to win. If a player has a history of being on a top level team that wins at the highest levels, that player is most likely driven, has goals to advance beyond where they are today. Rene Meulensteen is a great youth coach, and he likes to see players that have a desire to win, at training, in a friendly and in matches and says winning has to be incorporated in everything you do in training. Ajax develops players, but they develop and also play to win. It is very easy to say you are in the business of player development without winning, placing players at the YNT, college or pro levels. IMO, you need to develop and win. FL

None of the things you mention are possible in florida. Soccer in florida is like a pie, every club is just trying to get the biggest piece they can. You need to move to the states that you mention. You are not going to change nothing in florida.

Maybe a few games here and there but not developing or challenged for much of the year if the players are not challenged by each other more regularly.
