Please stop believing those rankings
They are flawed. The teams don’t play against the sane competition.
Believe Thst the college coaches don’t show up to nl events for a reason. Psa 2003 was in nl semi finals and there were 12 college coaches there in total. The 2003 csa Monmouth team
Had 140 coaches in Florida in December
Stop trying because it’s silly.
If the NL was as good as you are making it out to be how come the college coaches are watching. I know you are a better judge of talent than they are. My mistake what was I thinking

1: NL
2: ECNL
3: GDA
But you need to remember that Academies are in ECNL and DA not individual teams. There are a ton of teams that are top level but the club they are with may not be.

Sucks for development of the players.

The league fees are over $1,000 now, which is 4X what MAPS charged 10 years ago.

Alliance is basically 3rd tier ECNL, after ECNL and ECNL-RL. For some clubs like PDA playing Alliance is usually for their 4th or even 5th teams....as they have 2 teams at the ECNL level, followed by RL then followed by Alliance. Who knows maybe Alliance RL is up next....It’s basically a pyramid scheme for full control of players as they are all US Club carded. GL if you’re playing Alliance, not a good sign.

Clubs playing at EDP Premier 1, 2, 3, 4, can all beat those ECNL teams.
Not impressed at all with ECNL.
If Alliance takes off, it will be at the demise of EDP. It's just a platform.

My kids played Alliance in the Fall in the younger age groups. It was the league's first season carded to US Club. I thought the level and consistency at the younger age groups was pretty good (I'm not a salty "its a money grab" poster, sorry ppl). We played in some very good and competitive matches. EDP tripled or quadrupled in size and quite frankly many "club" teams were town travel level. There weren't the blowouts in Alliance that we were seeing in EDP. Their social media presence is lacking...no Instagram or Facebook.

Alliance may be cheaper than EDP but if you want to sacrifice competitiveness compared to 1st level EDP to save a couple hundred bucks per team then go for it. Most of these academies could care less about saving you $, it’s all about control and putting a new spin on things!

Sorry but when a single club has almost a quarter of all teams, MF, one has to wonder how good it could be. The only PDA team on the girls side was Shore who has been dragging since Cedar Stars emergence. Saying it's 3/4 tier ECNL is a joke, more like where ECNL teams send the leftovers. They did get the NPL patch but then again after the actual NPL moved to ECNL/RL they had little choice in the area.

Sad to see a team like Shore in this league but as you eluded to the club is going down hill in terms of both quality and numbers. Even CSA is taking players from them....unheard of a couple years ago.

Didn’t the PDA Shore DOC leave to go to Cedar Stars? I wonder if that has anything to do with the flow of players...I know a girl left the 05 team to go to CSA recently...

I think he got let go at least that’s the message conveyed to us....who cares as long as we’re able to keep players and survive as a club. Tough being here in Toms River....not much to draw from.
