In terms of strictly level of play, Your a fool for thinking that. If your not up for the travel that’s one thing, but that level of play is clear that DPL / NPL is behind ecnl regional league
          Blasphemy! There were NPL teams beating ECNL regional teams in tourneys since Labor Day at the '06 & '07 levels. ECNL parents traveling as far as they had to instead of playing NPL this past fall into winter was the stupid thing. No fault of their own but you're filling your own oats saying ECNL Regional is better then NEP's NPL. But dont let's those tourney scores get in the way.

            This right here. End of thread.

            Overall ECNL is the major leagues Nationwide...just not in New England. NPL is the majors in this area.

              Whole new ball game when soccer resumes. DA is dead. All the strong former DA Clubs are now in ECNL.

              1. Tophat - GAL
              2. Solar - ECNL
              3. PDA - ECNL
              4. So Cal Blues - ECNL
              5. FC Dallas – ECNL
              6 San Diego Surf - ECNL
              7. Real Colorado - ECNL
              8. Legends FC - ECNL-RL
              9. Beach FC - ECNL-RL
              10. San Jose Earthquakes - Folded
              11. Concorde Fire - ECNL
              12. Michigan Hawks - ECNL
              13. MVLA - ECNL
              14. LAFC Slammers - ECNL
              15. NC Courage - ECNL
              16. FC Virginia - GAL (B teams ECNL-R)
              17. San Juan SC - ECNL
              18. SLSG (MO) - ECNL
              19. Mustang SC - ECNL
              20. Eclipse SC - ECNL
              21. Sting SC - ECNL
              22. Real So Cal - ECNL
              23. Ohio Premier - ECNL
              24. Crossfire Premier - ECNL
              25. NEFC - GAL

              Read any of the national boards. The remaining GA clubs (Top Hat, Lonestar, etc.) are bleeding players (and in some cases whole teams) to ECNL, which is starting a chain reaction of knocking weaker ECNL players down to ECNL regional league.

              ECNL regional league was in its first year last year. There will be a massive nationwide expansion this year. All the ECNL clubs B teams, plus GA clubs trying to get into ECNL (FC Virginia, Sporting Blue Valley) will bolster the league. If ECNL can deliver the same showcase format for the regional league like it does with ECNL, in 18 months 90% of the top end talent will be in ECNL & ECNL regional league. That is the plan and they have the business savvy to execute it.

              The GAL is ambitious but if you actually look at the club map, the travel is not sustainable in over half its conferences. SE, Midwest, Frontier & NW will require plane travel for league games. IF USSF couldn't take down ECNL (and make no mistake, that's what it tried to do), good luck to GAL. If ECNL ever actually viewed GAL as a threat it would just grab 8-10 key clubs and the league would collapse. The fact it hasn't speaks volumes.

              DPL is teams who should be playing in the NEP.

                More aptly GAL is a life raft. The GDA sunk. Any former GDA club who could, got into ECNL. GAL is the clubs that couldn't get in.

                  Good take.

                  Question: Do you think clubs not in ECNL but in ECRL will put their first teams there in hopes that ECNL sees them commit to the league in hopes of getting in next year? Possibly a behind doors (Zoom) handshake agreement? If these clubs in ECRL and GAL put second teams in GAL, that would be embarrassing for that league and probably a death blow.

                      If you look at any of the national boards the parents/coaches with GAL/ECNL-R clubs all say the teams are focusing on strong showings in ECNL-R in the hopes of full admission next year. That makes sense as ECNL is the end game.

                        The bottom line is there aren’t enough ECNL and Ecnl-r teams in RI and MA to make that league the end game for many of the most talented players. Therefore you have SSS and NEFC’s second teams beating ECNL teams at local and national tournaments. MA GA and NPL teams are strong compared to weaker ECNL teams because those in charge refuse to offer additional ECNL and ECNL-r teams in MA/RI.

                          Put down the crack pipe. Show us some examples of SSS/NEFC second teams beating ECNL teams. I’ll wait.

                            6 ECNL/Regional teams between Stars & Scorpions. Your kid can’t make a single one of those?

                              If you want to chase D1 go to ECNL or GA.

                              If you choose to play ECRL (and travel all over the eastern seaboard for the same or worse level of play as DPL or NPL) you are a fool.
                              This is the truth. ECRL are the teams that were in the Northeast NPL. That’s an inconvenient fact that people skip over because now they have an ECNL badge. That was not a competitive league and it won’t make them better by renaming and giving them a new badge.
