Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell, I guess if this is your last ditch effort, and your child otherwise would not go to college, then probably the price is well invested. The part of the salesmanship where I gag on my own vomit however is most of the girls playing ECNL were already headed on a college track. For ECNL to laud these outrageous % of their players who "go to college" is just smoke and mirrors. I wonderif whe a girl gets an academic scholarship if they also roll that into the bankroll they take credit for with players...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMaybe some girls just want to play at the ECNL level. And for a lot of the teams the price is about what we were paying before, it has not gone up much for us since our team was already traveling a lot. ECNL does give more exposure to schools out side of the area. There might not be much difference for the current U17 and U18 players but the U16 and younger, they might find some new and different opportunities.
Bottom line, none of these decisions should be made based on what could happen, but the best place for your kid right now. And if you cannot afford it, it shouldn't be a discussion at all. Most girls playing in college will not have played in the ECNL, period.

Each U16 and U17 team needs to attend 3 showcases, they can pick from Phoenix, Florida, Texas, San Diego, and New Jersey. U15 and U18 only need to attend 2 a year.
If a team makes it to the playoffs, that also draws schools from all over the country.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt depends which ECNL showcases a club decides to go to. CU U16 and U17 went to Florida this year and the majority of the coaches attending were from the east coast. Some of the games had over 60 coaches watching so most of the contact after that tournament were east coast schools. It depends on the individual if that is valuable or not.

It's silly until one of the dads takes it too seriously and does this:
