Fall Schedules-EDP/NEP/DPL/GA/ECNL

Wow it really is BAD. You have the Select 2009s playing in the top division with the 2008s...they’ll give that division a beat down...there are going to be a TON of shellackings hahaha

It seems to us with all the changes from last season, (teams switching to different leagues & the additions of town teams to club...& also mergers), that the completion of the fall season will make things clearer with respect to team placement in leagues for the future. NEP is obviously restarting...

Looks like NPL is dead. NEP is a shell of itself. combining regions to fill brackets with watered down teams will have a huge negative effect. I didn’t think it was going to be this bad

Be sure to share the link of the NECSL schedule when it gets posted.

All these rumors about WUP and SOL moving to NECSL, they do seem to be well represented in these brackets. So who exactly is in the NECSL????

Way to focus one outlier. GAL & DPL start at U13. The top 2009 Select team is talented and looking to get tested. Can't wait to see what the U12 roster of teams in NECSL looks like....

No one should play. If colleges aren’t playing soccer, what in the heck are you doing?

COVID-19 strokes hitting younger, low-risk patients

A large study of strokes associated with COVID-19 found that many strokes occur in relatively young people without risk factors, the Multinational COVID-19 Stroke Study Group reported on Friday ahead of peer review. Researchers in 32 countries identified 432 COVID-19 patients with strokes caused either by blocked blood flow to the brain - called ischemic strokes - or by blood hemorrhage in the brain. Among those with ischemic strokes, more than one-third had no coronavirus symptoms. About one in four had none of the traditional risk factors for stroke - such as heart disease, high blood pressure or smoking - and more than one-third were under age 55. Among patients with hemorrhagic stroke, 70% had "spontaneous" bleeding not explained by breaks in weakened artery walls. Usually, spontaneous bleeding accounts for only 15% of hemorrhagic strokes. Strokes were more severe in patients without typical risk factors. A separate study published on Saturday in the Journal of Neurology looking at people who do have the most significant stroke risk factors - either a previous stroke, or diseased arteries - found they have high rates of poor COVID-19 outcomes and should take "extra precautions" during the pandemic.

No NPL. ECNLR teams playing U-15 NEP. NSL teams like Newton Academy and Marshfield United teaming up with NEFC and Mass City. Plenty of SSS, Aztec, and NEFC teams that were supposed to be exclusively playing in GA & DPL. Yeah, NEP definitely restarting. It just shows how desperate the soccer landscape is right now.

ecnl regional u15 playing nep???? please clarify...or as TS "says", confirm. Do you mean that U15 will not be competing in ecnl this fall but instead will be competing in nep?

There is no fall season for ECNL at u15 and above. Kids would be playing HS. That being said, some clubs will try to put together u15 fall teams for trapped 8th graders (this year that would be 2006 players that are in 8th grade—fall birthdays).

Are you freaking serious to share this. So let me get this strait, you quote a statistic of 432 people in the whole world that got this stroke potentially from covid. 75% had typical risk factors of a stroke and 2/3 were over the age of 55. What does that leave, about 40 people in the whole world that were under the age of 55 without stroke factors that tested positive for covid got a stroke. Cmon. I’m sure you can find more people that fall in this category without covid that had a stroke. Teddy Bruschi had a stroke at 30 years old several years ago. He didn’t have covid.

Covid is serious. I agree. But you have to stop spreading theses non sensible stats that are meaningless.

Not "try to put together"... this is always the case every year, nothing new. The "fall birthday" 9th graders have always played the Fall club season. But this year we might have an addition of all the other 9th graders who can't play HS soccer due to Covid/School issues.

is this policy the same in DA as well? Is GAL/DPL the same league as DA? Does this league play the same teams as GAL/DPL does?

We know. Covid causes everything.

The fact that colleges aren't playing has little to nothing to do with the risk to players - as evidenced by the fact that many of these colleges who have cancelled sports are bringing the players, along with thousands of their closest friends, back into their dorms.

Copy/paste from a response to where you posted this on another board:

You link to two studies, apparently assuming no one will read them. The first study has nothing to do with strokes and their main conclusion is "COVID-19 patients with pre-existing cerebrovascular disease have poor outcomes." Ya think?

The second study is more interesting and is indeed looking at strokes. But you're on a youth soccer board trying to stir people up talking about "relatively young" patients. The qualifier for a "relatively young" patient in the study is being under 55. And even using that parameter, only 24% of those in the study fall into that category (104 of them, to be precise; out of a study of 136 facilities spanning 32 countries).

Finally, 38% of them came to the hospital because of stroke symptoms, not COVID. That's a pretty big leap to suggest it was COVID that caused the stroke.

It's people like you that really piss me off. Stoking fear among as many as you can by providing bullsh_t "research" as evidence, and leaving out as much context as possible so that you can support an incredibly weak assertion.
