I am shocked at how many of my daughter's ECNL teammates got some $$ to play at a D1 school ...... seriously, if you watched them for a short while you would puke. Most have not played a lot in college and many have quit already after only a year or two. Getting money and deserving it are two very different things.

Also have to take into account Edp at u15 and above (HS age) turns into a intramural league since kids play HS / playing DA. By U15 kids are playing in ecnl or da.

while all these observations about different leagues are good, having a coach with connections regardless of league played in is also important
