Poor ECNL people. They are so concerned with what everyone else is doing. If you really, truly felt comfortable with your decisions, this will be of no concern to you. Pathetic spending time and effort worrying about someone else.

Poor GDA people trying to pretend everything is going to be ok

What on gawd's green earth does that mean? Being loyal to a team means you a a mercenary?

I don't think you know what the word means.

GDA "teams" are individual player centered. At least the other leagues play for something and have some semblance of a team concept, rather than having a 1/3 of the team be simple bench warmers due to FIFA rules.

Here's a little hint: Every player playing in these leagues had better be individually centered. No recruiter cares if your team won a game in October. The recruiter cares how the player did.

Sounds like a rec league may be more up your ally?

We are not worried at all about the DA. All the clubs in the ECNL are getting stronger due to DA not being what it was sold. We will be just fine especially now that you are adding clubs like Cedar Stars Second Team and seacoast. SSS is going to be a crap shot not knowing what players will leave for ECNL. Will make Scorpions ECNL stronger if players come over and SSS DA teams weaker. Will not know until tryouts what happens there. Players that wanted DA left 2 years ago and several have come back to ECNL clubs (Stars and Scorpions).

and how exactly does that help your kid?

Easy. Take two items of equal value. If I spends hours and hours making your item look bad, then mine it's instantly better.

Many also care about how the individual played and handled her/himself within a team environment. This isn't golf.

Of course. Not the result, how the play as part of a team. They absolutely don't want to know about their parents out on the web embarrassing their children. Turn-off for most programs

Wait, I thought the leagues and results matter?

You guys are all over the place.

I think they only matter to get a good coach to see a player. The exposure is better on better teams and better leagues.
