    I think the point is - why would any club that knows what they are doing make a social media post bragging about said rankings knowing they do fluctuate. It’s not a good look for any club and makes you look amateurish.

      I love how over here, GotSoccer rankings mean something, but over on the 06 thread, they are considered ****. Yet it is probably the same dad, with a kid on each team talking out of both sides of his mouth on each thread.

        again, because I really don't know, did they qualify for ECNL playoffs last year and if so what flight? Showcase?

          Bucks 2004 did not qualify last year.

          Bucks only had one team qualify that was the 2003 team which qualified for the lowest level of ECNL playoffs, on the last game , on a last minute goal of the regular season

            So how is a team that doesn’t qualify for any post-season ranked? They really aren’t even in the Top-50 in the Northeast region.

              Any true soccer person knows Got Soccer rankings are meaningless. Before all the leagues, had value. The only games reported for ECNL and GDA are nonleague tourneys.

                Agreed
                So why the heck would FC Bucks make social media posts bragging about the got soccer rankings for one of their teams. Just makes bucks look even more incompetent if that’s even possible. SMH.

                  Well That’s the beauty when an academy team is ranked high in Gotsoccer the ranking is legitimate and is publicized. If it’s not highly ranked in GotSoccer then those rankings don’t matter. The reality is the closest thing to accurate rankings is youthsoccerranking but that’s not perfect either.

                    Only the uninformed cares about GotSoccer no matter who is publicizing results.

                      Agreed - the only ranking that maters for an ECNL team/club is whether they make the ECNL playoffs - which is the largest college recruiting event in the country. If you are an ECNL team and don’t make the playoffs you have nothing to brag about!

                        Just another ill informed comment. The ECNL Playoffs don't draw more or less coaches than the Florida, NJ or PHX Spring ECNL Events.

                          I think the point is making the ECNL playoffs means you are a good ECNL team - and gives you something to brag about - no club should be posting and bragging about some youth soccer rankings that change weekly.

                          Pretty sure most ECNL teams have a goal to make it to ECNL playoffs and when you don’t make the playoffs you miss out on a prime recruiting opportunity. It’s simple really.

                            It's pretty obvious you are the same person commenting relentlessly on other threads. With that in mind, why do you care who brags about what? A club puts something out there the kids families and others from the club see it and get excited then move on. I don't see you trashing clubs for posting about kids playing ODP and everyone knows ODP is a sham.

                              There are multiple playoffs levels in ECNL. Championship is the top. But there is a NorthAmerican Cup for those that just missed Championship and then Showcase bracket for the next qualifiers. 80% of the teams get in to something. If you go, to any as they are all held at the same time, you get the advantage of playing in front of coaches.

                              My kid did GDA and ECNL and both have a large draw at their postseason events.

                              Would not crown ECNL the king as far as college coaching draws. GDA had just as many if not more. In GDA there is only a championship post season bracket. Top 16-20 teams only.

                              So ECNL allows for more post season opportunities to be showcased (so a good player on an average team can still be seen), but GDA showcases only the best overall teams in that league.

                                Why are you trashing ODP? What you said about ODP is called an opinion- Many players enjoy it and don’t think it’s a “sham”. You really are a bully.

                                I would never trash someone’s choice but when a club posts about a ranking and that ranking turns out to be wrong they open themselves up for criticism. Not to mention it is just extremely amateurish for clubs to be posting about rankings which can and do change weekly.

                                And bottom line - whether you want to admit it or not - if you want to be considered a good ECNL team - you need to make the playoffs. Period.

                                If a bucks team makes the ECNL playoffs then they should make a post and brag about it, I would have zero problem with that post!
