What Glenn Crooks failed to mention...
ECNL has agreed to absorbing most but not all DA teams
ECNL has agreed to try to limit travel where possible
ECNL has agreed to upgrading their minimum standards for clubs
ECNL has agreed to no more than 18 active players per roster with a cap of 24 for a season.
USS has agreed to recognize ecnl has the top youth league (mls and usl academies are a seperate entity)
USS has agreed to move to graduation year age groups
USS has agreed to keep the same scouting network used for DA but apply it to ECNL
USS will support coaching education and referee training
USYS and US Club have agreed to hold a single state cup.
State cups end there. No more regionals. Open to ecnl.
US Soccer National Championships (U15,U16,U17 only)
1 US Club Team
1 USYS NL Team
4 ECNL Teams.

It’s always been about the $$$.
Maybe ECNL absorbs those players (widgets). Bloat rosters to 30. Add a second ECNL team to club to fit the DA castoffs.
Then call it a win-win.
Never about the kids....ever. Naive to believe otherwise. Lololol
And the above with all the stuff Glenn Crooks failed to mention. - Whatcha smokin?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNew ECNL club, Delaware Sporting, is coming to the N. Delaware area, 15 mins from West Chester SC (Penn Fusion). This new club has ties to the Philadelphia Union. If the DE Club gets into ECNL before DA folds, it could impact SE PA clubs like Penn Fusion from getting back into the ECNL.

Agreed. If it happens, will be interesting to see if they take all DA clubs which I could see being part of negotiations.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's what's being negotiated. US Soccer really wants a single youth pyramid and they want to have input on how its managed at the very top but have conceded ECNL will be the league of choice for non pro clubs. ECNL in return for allowing more oversight will leverage us soccer for coaching education and refs. USYS will essentially become the true grassroots organization and along with the ncaa pushed really hard for the grad year +1 age groups. Nothing is final. At least they are talking. From what I hear the whole EDP business model is in jeopardy. They might get relegated to tournaments only.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWho is negotiating with who and why? Ecnl can negotiate with any club they want to and either grant that club a spot in the league or not. Same for gda if any club would want to try to join. Why would they negotiate league to league? I don't see what either has to offer the other.
$ and how much will ECNL adopt US Soccers vision
