Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDon't assume all kids and parents will simply chase an ECNL patch. Plenty have already deemed Stars and Scorps not worth it for whatever personal reasons, and there are already top players who have chosen to play NPL instead of the DA or ECNL, even though they have been offered spots. Hopping clubs simply for an ECNL patch only happens for a few players every year. For most families, there are many other factors to consider ... location of practices, costs, travel, coaches, friends, and ultimate soccer goals all get weighed into the decision making, and the same will hold true if NEFC drops DA, whether NEFC goes back to top teams in NPL or ,gets back into ECNL.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHmmmm...reply to your own post 3 times will not make it true. The same can be said about any club out there. But there is unanimity that top players like to compete and play for/with the best of the best. I am not saying that everyone on DA will go to ECNL but I am sure that a bunch would not like to return to NPL.
Do you get it now?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHey DB, first off I am the OP and those who agreed with me were not me. Secondly, you missed the entire point of my post. Yes, in a perfect world the top players would all play for the top teams, but sometimes there are other factors that prevent that. Not everybody wants/can to drive an hour and a half to and from practice 3x a week plus...or have the time/money/family situation to handle those country club leagues... or want to play on a top 25 division 1 college program ... or wants to play HS soccer and/or another sport ... or like the coaches at another program ... or want to leave their already very strong NPL team, with a coach and players they love.
