I heard a rumor that FSA and CFC are switching their NPL teams to a league at ECNL called ECNL2. The “2” teams cannot qualify for ENPL and is just a feeder for ECNL. Considering that NPL teams have done just as well as ECNL in the ENPL playoffs, it makes no sense. Instead of having 2 chances for their program to qualify ENPL, there is only 1 now? If I’m one of the parents that decided to stay NPL due to travel despite having a child good enough for ECNL, I would be pissed considering that it was not communicated BEFORE tryouts. I have a feeling that, if true, there are going to be a lot of angry parents calling out the program directors and coaches. Smart thing to do is table it a year to communicate BEFORE tryouts so the players/parents can make an INFORMED decision. So, can anyone confirm/deny the rumor?

No announcement yet.
Is it true FSA & CFC are ditching NPL teams for an ECNL “2” feeder team?

Does that mean no possibility of ENPL finals for the ECNL2 teams? If so that is 100% downgrade for the NPL team. And it should have been communicated. Can’t wait for those CFC NPL parents to find out. They are going to be livid. While not a CFC fan, I feel bad for the parents and kids who were taken for a ride by not being told. Kind of sad if you think about it.

6 in one, 1/2 dozen the other. ECNL2 will have national tournament.
ECNL basically took the template for ECNL and overlaid it onto the clubs’ B teams.
