Yes, so it all goes to show that names , ie NPL a/b, regional, pre-da, etc. don’t really mean jack squat. And it’s foolish to judge an entire club with a wide net by a few teams records.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

There is no one left in that league. The best NPL League is now the B. At least those teams have to earn their way in. CFC, Spirit of Liverpool and FCUSA are all top teams. The NPL A is all second teams who don’t even earn the right to play there. They should just blow that league up. Aztec will look better this year by default. 4th tier and yes ECNL is the best!!Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Different poster....Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
NEFC, SSS, Seacoast (and Oakwood)--top teams are no longer in NPL A--they are in the pre-DA league
Scorpions top 2 teams are in ECNL/ ECNLR, so those teams are not in either NEP NPL division
FC Stars top 4 teams are in ECNL (2)/ECNLR (2)
That's quite a few top teams from strong clubs that Aztec will never play.
Additionally, the NPL B division is completely merit-based. NPL A teams automatically get an entry because they own a license. The strong teams that don't have a license (SOL, FCUSA, CFC (even though it's their 2nd or 3rd team) all have to play in the B division, even though they may be better than teams in NPL A.Comment

My league is the best! No, my league is the best! You parents need to relax. A few years from now you'll look back and realize that none of this league bashing makes a bit of difference. Cheer your kids on and be quiet about everything else.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The Pre DA league is travel for no reason.
All the leagues are watered down now. So traveling for the sake of traveling sadly. You don't need leagues to get where you want to go but before all the dilution ECNL was a stamp of approval. Now it's not clear.
The NPL A league is top teams from GPS, Bayside, Aztec and Yankee. Second teams from NEFC, Select, Seacoast and Oakwood. For a lot of good players that play HS and like the clubs this is a good option.
Stars and Scorpions always had their own league. The ECNL has become watered down and the regional league is their second or even third and fourth teams. It's just easier to sell to parents now and goes through the ECNL registration system so I imagine it's a bit better for those clubs$ but don't know. Either way, ECNL is not what it was prior to DA.
NPL B is the best of the rest. Occasionally the best of the rest has a good team regional team in it but it's weak compared to the competition in the above leagues.
Hopefully this changes soon but that's where is now. Leagues don't make the player. Training makes the player. Focus on the individual development and everyone would be better for it. Don't assume one family's path is wrong or right. Parents are smart and usually find a good path for their family and their kid.Comment

Not sure my girls da league is the best. Either NEFC is really good or the league is weak. Would be awesome to have a actual top teams play each other, even more dumb when you realize you wouldn’t have to travel over 90 minutes to acomplish this. This whole setup sucksOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
