    What ECNL Teams are lacking depth?

    Comment


      I agree with this. I think DA started effecting ECNL teams starting with this year. There’s no one arguing this was a watered down age group talent-wise in general for ecnl. My daughter plays ecnl in this age group. I think it will improve hopefully now that DA gone.

        I am laughing as well. I am thinking about every GA Club if given the opportunity to join ECNL today would move immediately.

          Most GAL teams will have players playing up to fill roster voids it’s reality.

            We don’t want that though. We need their players not their teams. So ecnl League gets better in this area.

              There are some ecnl parents in this particular age group questioning whether ecnl is the right league to be in. The teams in ecnl just aren’t that much different talent-wise as teams in the other leagues, and sometimes they seem more talented. How does that happen? Maybe it was the DA like the other poster said I don’t know, but I haven’t been overly impressed. I’ll give it another year and see what happens.

                  The first 2 years of GDA were very good. The competition, competitiveness of players and depth on each team held up vs. ECNL. Once clubs like PDA and FC Stars dropped out Nd were replaced by lesser clubs the DA dropped big time. For the first 2 years colleges tended LLC the DA events equally to ECNL. By the third year when other Big clubs started to leave then those colleges attending DA events started to shrink or just stay for 2 days of a tournament. ECNL is still the top league in the country and every ECNL event is a must for all colleges to attend. Right now you cannot say that about GA or any other league showcase.t’s a night vs. day difference.

                    No doubt it’s great for pda and other teams across the country. Outside of that there may be better options than being on a mediocre ECNL team in this region. Thats all I’m saying.

                      That’s a good point. Nationally ECNL is great. Locally it sucks azz.

                                STA will be a very competitive option at this age group. Very good team.
