EDP To Run Three Premier League Divisions Covering New York and Connecticut

East Brunswick, NJ (June 14, 2018)-- EDP today announced it will be running three premier league divisions in New York -- EDP Premier Long Island; EDP Premier Southern NY/Southern CT and EDP Premier Northern NY. The new EDP regional leagues will be open to boys and girls in the 11U through 19U age groups.

As a result of this move, clubs/teams playing in these three regional premier leagues will have a pathway into the new US Youth Soccer National League EDP regional conference competition.

“These premier divisions are designed for higher level teams that aspire to progress in future seasons to National League EDP regional competition,” said EDP Chief Executive Officer Alan Shilling, who added that teams that play in these EDP regional premier leagues in New York will now be part of a multi-divisional league structure that allows all teams that participate to have a good game every week with sensible travel and the opportunity to apply for or play their way to National League levels.”

Generally, the EDP brackets at the Premier level are intended for teams that have progressed beyond the competitive level of local leagues and are seeking a pathway into the National League platform. This program is also aimed and “bringing back” top clubs that have elected to play in leagues hosted by sanctioning bodies other than the Eastern NY Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) and the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA).

Richard Christiano, ENYYSA President, commented “This provides a partnership for ENYYSA, its member leagues to provide a structured pathway to connect our local and regional leagues with the National League. It also provides an opportunity for us to attract clubs outside ENYYSA programming to have their top teams join the EDP Premier League and the balance of the club would join the local ENYYSA league affiliate.”

These people are all silly. Why would clubs not stay in CT and play each other?
Yankee, Sporting, CFC Wolves, CFC Arsenal, Beachside, Southeast, Northeast, South Central and Ginga should all form a league and play very competitive games especially in the U11-14.

lol you must be new

- all the leagues and clubs are trying to steal business from one another. It's all about the $
- local teams don't want to play each other, because it lets parents more readily comparison shop. Losses might lead them to switch clubs. Playing different leagues helps clubs keep it vague, and they can all claim they play in the "best" league
- CCSL is doing that. It has garnered quite a few good clubs in the younger ages and now is building the HS ages. CJSA is a ghost
- for some teams and clubs regional play is more appropriate
- The only way things change is when enough parents say no more. But they'll keep writing checks for the "best" whatever because Cole and Emma are "the best"

that very much depends on team and age. ulittles don't need to be hauling down to ny for games. some older teams, maybe. whatever the case ccsl is a better option than cjsa. shovel the dirt on that 6 foot under league.

Yes EDP does but only in the top brackets. After that is takes a steep alide. I agree with the above that until at least u12 no one needs to play regionally and even then there are some clubs that still don't want or should play regionally either. Begining now and moving forward the only time Cjsa should be mentioned is in historical context.
