    It’s really not that easy depending on where you live. No offense but the constant “you can just leave, there’re a million options” is so disingenuous. There really aren’t that many options. It’s not like basketball where you can throw a stone and hit 50 aau teams.

      Almost everyone in eastern MA is with driving distance of at least two of Scorpions, Stars, NEFC & Select. That’s four good ECNL-DA options for your superstar.

        I’m 45 minutes to Lancaster but 90 minutes to Taunton and more than that to Mendon and 2 hours to SSS so no not so easy to drive 90+ minutes one way several days a week.

          Sounds like you’re closer to Seacoast GDA in NH.. or maybe one of the ECNL/DA clubs in CT.

            Finally happened? It was known to be inevitable the moment they announced it increasing the number of teams.

              Ds team has players/families driving to Lancaster from VT, upstate NH, South Coast, and furthest point on North Shore. During rush hour it can take 90 mins from inside 128. No, its not easy, but its a choice we make. If we weren’t happy, we’d make another choice.

                with stars holding 2 ECNL spots just curious as to why they would not keep one in Lancaster and place one in Taunton. Being located in Taunton would be more central and they could pull kids who want to play high school from NEFC and a Select’s DA programs as well as Scorpion kids and players from other clubs and players from Rhode Island. Everyone always complains that logistics is an issue but having a good program centrally located would make sense.

                  This thread is about Stars being spread thin and here you are trying to spread them thinner?

                    Yes, seems they could do much better having the other equal but different team located more strategically. somewhat South or South East maybe.

                      You know that there is an ECNL club right there in Taunton, right? Also--plenty of Stars players come up to Lancaster from that area already. Just like players travel from long distances to Mendon for NEFC and Hingham for SSS....

                          That was the point of my post above... kids travel to all of those clubs.

                            They both count the same. A goal is a goal.

                              KC will have a huge impact on GPS getting ECNL; When that happens the landscape will change like we have never seen. Watch out Stars, Scorpions.
