New to soccer in CT, as we just moved into the state. After some research and phone calls, learned that CFC and FSA are both having supplemental tryouts for HS boys in a few weeks. My son is interested and I have calls into both clubs with questions, but hoping folks here might have some background or experience as to how things are done in CT as we wait for return calls.
My apologies for a long email - background, he is a HS varsity player and has played successfully at the premier level but doesn't want to do DA, wants to play HS and club. No illusions of D1 and scholarship money, he is targeting D3 colleges that match his academic interests and soccer. Not looking at ECNL as we've been advised travel costs/schedule are very high.
FSA: FSA says they have an ECNL and NPL Boys team and lists a NPL-EDP link but FSA not listed as an NPL member on NPL/US Club soccer link. Is EDP comparable to NPL?
CFC: Has an ECNL and teams teams will play in NPL, NEP various Division 1, 2, etc. which looks like a Massachusetts US Club league, or EDP, or CCSL (still looking into this league, but seem like alot of town clubs.) Looking at the links on the CFC website they have teams with 2-3 rostered players, or 10 players, or no players. Is CFC even fielding teams all these teams? Is NEP non NPL comparable to EDP or something else?
Any background or context is greatly appreciated. Are there other clubs we should be looking at in the Hartford area? Thank you in advance!
