How do you know the relationship between ECNL and MFA?

The ECNL ranks their Clubs every year, Match Fit has been in the top 1/3 most if not all of those years. Match Fit was the very first club in the country to decline an offer from the DA, and that was meaningful to the ECNL.

When you are showcasing one player on an ECNL team, against another player on a GA team and the game is competitive, one has to assume, that the teams were good enough for the college coach to get an accurate read to assess that player., This tells me that both the GA and ECNL are on relatively equal terms.

Again not saying the GA is a better league, just saying the talent on both teams as a whole are relatively equal in this case.

Which teams are you talking about?

Match Fit is at worst a mid table club and routinely has teams higher and rarely lower. Putting them with FC Bucks shows a sever bias. Likely because your kid did not have a great time there. PDA got the 2nd team as a negotiation to bail on the DA, and a 3rd team because they are PDA and with a few other clubs created the ECNL. Nothing to do with MFA who has a very good relationship with the ECNL.

I concur. Matchfit was the only ECNL Club in the North East that decided against joining the GDA. The Club sent a very good letter explaining there reasons of why it was not beneficial for the club and preferred to keep a strong ECNL Club/teams with depth instead of having to fill out rosters for both teams. ECNL holds them in very high regard for their support and will never be forgotten. That is why more successful clubs FCV and Tophat are on the outside looking in and ECNL is not forgiving to either.

There's a several other ECNL clubs that were invited but didn't join. Then there were the ones that joined for a year and went right back without missing a beat. Don't put MF on a pedestal for that

GDA is wobbly. I said ECNL is in a better position didn't I, as in not wobbly?

Midtable in the worst and most skewed division means that only 2-3 players really get committed to colleges of their choice. The rest get scraps. How many Match Fit teams qualified to the "top 32 ECNL" in US - "the ECNL champions league" in the last 5 years. On top of that zero people in ECNL have any respect for Match Fit because they simply do not develop and do not have any facilities to develop. They constantly have to get GAL players from outside to stay competitive and just recruit, recruit and recruit.

What a loser. Clearly with a personal grudge. Club results speak for themselves and they are impressive with where the kids go to college. Also, shows you know little about recruiting on the girls side. Sorry your kid could not cut it.

How do you know what the "colleges of their choice" are?

No-one can "look stuff up" because ECNL does not show their rosters and placement as not to embarrass a team. Don't be a liar and an idiot. If ECNL was stupid enough to show the rosters from each games and the standings it would be incredibly easy to show that majority of the talent rotates within crappy clubs and also show that the clubs just over roster their teams. No one wants to see that. People pay to believe "the ECNL badge is the greatest".

There are 3 competitions at the end of the year:
1: Champions League
2: North American Cup
3: Showcase Cup

Match Fit teams make it into the bottom third consistently - the Showcase Cup. Which is also an oxymoron, because no self-respecting college coach goes to the Showcase Cup games.
