Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLooking at it from a players standpoint, playing in the MLS league for a non MLS club will get me the best shot at exposure to MLS academy team, which is free to play. So BS and OW are more attractive than ECNL boys. Get it?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThanks Mr Jones. No one said it's never been done, but there are simply few CT players that make MLS rosters. It's just a fact, small state and not that much talent. That kid went to the Revs because it was closer, some go to NY because of location. Face it both NY clubs are better than the Revs.
Signed NOT Mr Jones, but just another dad pay big dollars for CT youth soccer.

My son won't play ecnl because he refuses to wear the mandatory skirt required for that girls league. He would rather sell the raffle tickets.
If your boy loves show tunes, skirts and playing dress-up than ecnl is for them. Otherwise MLS, EDP, NPL, etc.
