True cost of ECNL soccer

Wasn’t an insult. I am a fan of rec soccer. Kids playing for fun is what it’s all about. Good try though.

You have posted on multiple threads the same edp div 2 crap obviously meant as an insult. Nice try though.

In your mind. Never was an insult.

It’s a classic bully move. Putting down someone for playing in a “lower” Division to make yourself feel better. It’s just insecurity about their own crappy situation.

[QUOTE=Unregistered;2559603]Sounds like a certain someone is upset they are edp div 2 rec soccer.

Not sure I would call this bullying, but at the least trying to get under someone’s skin

The past couple of years at Continental FC Delco were brutal. Absolutely clueless individuals running the girls part of the club the past two seasons. They knew nothing about budgets or travel or anything. They have 6 teams on one field while the boys have 2 teams per field. If the weather is bad they cancel without a back up plan and we don’t get our money back. That was not the case when the girls were younger. At first I thought it was just clueless people that just didn’t know what they were doing, but now I think CFC just don’t care about girls soccer and like collecting a check. Glad to be done with CFC.

It’s nuts that delco is that bad. They are folding girls program I hear.

Still payers, they won't fold up until the money stops coming in.

My friends daughter left delco after this past year. She is a good player but they couldn’t take it there anymore. It’s a mess.

No edp is not even close to ecnl. Ecnl is much, much better. Doesn’t matter the ecnl club, top or bottom. They play better competition and have a stage to play on. There is no stage for Edp. There isn’t any showcases where you can play in front of tons of colleges. Come on now.

truth!

truth!

plenty of edp first division teams to beat plenty of DA or ECNL teams (certainly not all or probably even the top ones, but plenty of overlap). The veil of superiority is wearing very thin.

It's not about who "could" beat who. Most competitive teams "could" beat an ECNL or DA team on any given day. A lucky or unfortunate bounce here or there and anything can happen. It's about playing game in and game out vs top competition and exposure to numerous college coaches. That is where the significant difference lies.

Solid post. Hard to argue with this.

Also have to take into account Edp at u15 and above (HS age) turns into a intramural league since kids play HS / playing DA. By U15 kids are playing in ecnl or da.

Most top division EDP teams can hang with a good number of ECNL and DA clubs. But EDP doesn't have the depth - after the top 1 or 2 groups it is more of a cliff dive than a steady slope down

False, only select teams within certain age groups does this apply to. Not entire groups.
07- Ukies (for 1 more season, then KABOOM, if it hasnt already blew up)
06 - FC Revs and HMMS
05 - Philly Coppa, DEFC, Lower Merion (which will be a 1 yr experiment)
04 - Philly Coppa (but not anymore. Best non-ecnl team this area has seen in a long time and they couldn't keep it together)
03 - ?
02 - LVU
01 - 1776

There could be others but the sample is small
