Plenty of good players on those teams that play for satellites, they are stuck there because the club can barely field a team in the age group and the parents don't want to drive 50 minutes to a practice. I think this will drive kids out at the 14 and 15 age groups going forward. Parents spending $$$ for this remember your kids are viewed as BAD! -
you got to TS so I believe you wont have any problems.. the team manager usually deals with much of this so it should not be an issueOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Wait a minute if I now have to say my kid plays in NEC and have to pay $2500 a year that sucks. Going to pull him off that team and go back to lowest level of town soccer that he was on before playing elite soccer.Comment

Who would pay $2500 to play in the basement of the NEP. Wow...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Can someone explain the hierarchy of NEP & NEC? What is the order of levels in each league/division. My kids team plays in League 1? I have no idea what that means?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

League
And the subdivisions are mainly for geographic groupings.Comment

I know this will come off sounding douchey, and it really does not mean to, but here goes anyway ... in most things in life and especially in any kind of rankings... Is it not the items listed at the top, either the best or strongest? So it stands to reason that the items listed at the bottom, would be the weakest. No different in those NEC divisions. The further your kids division is to the bottom, the weaker the division.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
As far as NEP goes ... Those teams are higher than all those in NEC. League 1 teams are the weakest divisions of them all.
That being said, if your kid is happy, and the competition is equal and you can afford the bill... Have a great season!Comment

Looks like League 1 is 2nd Tier of NEC. I'd say it goes something like this:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
NEP Premiership
NEP Premiership 1 (with associated Region)
NEC Championship (with associated Region)
NEC League 1 (with associated Region)
NED Taunton (I see for some younger groups, assume it's lower)
Above NEP you have NPL and ECNL. Not sure if I missed anything up higher, not something we are a part of.Comment

Painting with huge brush strokes, yes. That said, there are many 'Town' teams that are in all likelihood much stronger than the average League 1 team. And there are likely many teams worse.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How come the word "elite" is not used anywhere? Are any of these teams elite or are they all just decent?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Elite is subjective, based on the individual team. Some clubs use Elite, some use Premier, etc.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
I just allocates their own classifications...we used A and B growing up, but calling it Elite sounds cooler, I guess.Comment

If an NEC team wins it's division can they be promoted to NEP?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Perhaps only if they win a top Championship Division. I assume winning a League 1 division might only get up to Championship. Pretty much is the same as when all these divisions were in NEP.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
