It's an NPL team.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
In the last year of youth soccer, clubs with ECNL and NPL struggle to have NPL teams. Kids drift away. So, they throw together an ECNL team that isn't really ECNL; it's just NPL.
If your kid has been recruited to play college, this is a good way to keep her fitness up for the season. If your kid isn't going to play college, but wants a place to play, ECNL Compost can fill that need, too.Comment

No, it’s not. Lol. It’s an ECNL Composite team. There already is an NPL team in each age group. It was formed because of the age group change. When US Soccer went to the Jan 1 birth date, they had a bunch of kids that were U19’s but still in HS. So they did a combined U18/19 age group and with the large numbers of players affected, they formed two teams. Originally was only supposed to be a few years to make sure no one was left without a place, but it appears here to stay. ECNL Comp falls between ECNL and NPL.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Yes to the above.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
CFC has alsoused the the team to solve roster issues. So for instance, if the whole U17 roster was healthy and some players were no going to get to dress for the game, they would roster some on the Composite team, effectively giving giving the 17s more playing time.
Bottom line, ECNL talent, playing an ECNL schedule/competitionComment

It's a money maker, grabbing NPL and town kids who otherwise wouldn't ever make an ECNL roster.Comment

My kid is playing D1 soccer and played Comp. Town kids? Are you kidding me? Sounds like you don't know anything about it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If it’s a true ECNL team, ECNL should call the 2 teams:
U18 ECNL
U19 ECNL
and leave this confusing “U18/U19 Composite” crud.
Better yet, why doesn’t ECNL get smart and just do their leagues and teams by grade/grad year? They’d pull more kids away from GDA and help with recruiting! They can still just go by the older birth year of the grade level to be compliant with USSF.Comment

Its a dual age groups for the U18/U19 kids .... Top U18 kids play on the U18 ECNL team and the ones that do not make it play on the composite team with lots of the kids that were on the NPL teams last year.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

at CFC it is where they put their older girls out to pasture. basically the U18/19 ECNL and Composite teams are comprised of nearly 50 girls. lucky if the coaches show up for practice so he can roll the ball out so they can scrimmage against B team on half a field. they say girls don't show up, but really they don't show b/c training sucks, not worth the drive. they do a great job placing girls in college, but not preparing them for next level.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
