The conference part of EDP is the top brackets. That is NY, Mass, CT, and RI. The next level is a New England regional bracket and then it drops down to CT state EDP level. And I think most teams would rather play state edp than ccsl at this point. The top bracket of Mass NPL is still pretty competitive too. But NEP NPL league drops off quickly after top couple brackets.
CCSL seems to be fading fast. It is mostly town premier. Bu even some good town premier has moved to EDP. Fairfield town premier has a few teams in high edp brackets.

That basically describes the landscape after ECNL now. No clue where the old DA GAL league will end up filling in. ECNL is the clear winner out of all of this. It will be interesting to see who takes up the second spot going forward.

I would say the best three clubs left in CCSL are AC Connecticut, FSA and Southeast SC. Difference is that AC CT and FSA have their B and C teams in CCSL. Their top teams are playing NPL and ECNL. SSC have their top teams in CCSL. So they are really boxed in with no real pathway to quality programming. They will eventually get tired of playing town soccer. I think AC CT and FSA may stay since they have a pathway to NPL and ECNL but who knows.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo, branches are only in place to help fund United teams. They are a money feeder mainly and barely a player feeder to the United team. They definitely are not allowed to use the fields, they are told “ all fields are booked”. With no lights on the fields that may be true as usage time is limited with lack of lights

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCorrect but their best players have access to ECNL. That’s the way it should be. The B teams and below are there for players that just want to play locally and have quality facilities with decent coaching. Nothing wrong with that. If you want more and can’t get on the ECNL team then you go to a different club. Either that or you keep working hard on the B team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou're funny. B teams are now the regional teams (old NPL) and C teams are whatever else, all local and charged way too much for what they're getting. There's very little movement up or down A/B/C. FSA players don't often crack CFCU rosters so they stay where they are.
