This seems like a ill-informed idea that will come back to bite clubs in the ass. The whole genius of ECNL was that it is structured as much for the parents as it is for the kids. Once you made the team (and didn’t get pregnant or didn’t become a methhead), chances are you would get an offer from a mid-level DI program. Parents like that. But now, if the clubs are going to break-off a “special group” that gets extra looks from coaches, there are going to be kids looking to move clubs to get onto those teams. I’m thinking CFC’s 6-10 players are going to start looking at FSA now that there’s more incentive beyond extra Saturday practices.

OW's product is average now. They used to be good because they were the only show in town. They're coaching is getting exposed.Comment

CFC has been doing this for 10 years. I’ve had two kids in the United program, one selected for the academy and one did not. Never bothered me. On most of these teams there’s a clear top 5 players or so. They are able to participate in an extra training and went to an eventOriginally posted by Unregistered View Post
Never bothered me and didn’t impact recruiting for the rest of the team. Look at last years group from CFC. 18 D1 players maybe 6 did the academyComment

Maybe one of the dumbest state4ments on TS ever, and that's quite a competitive set. Families go to CFC over FSA because they think it's a better club with better placements. Going to a much worse club because their egos are bruised isn't not going to happen on any kind of scale. Better players always are treated differently at any club and team. By HS most know where they fit in the pecking order. If you (parents and players) can't check your ego and feelings you shouldn't be trying to play in collegeOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Oakwood has a great record in the winter when they beat each other over and over again and the coaches sit on the boards and could give two ****sComment

Forget showcase Oakwood would not put us in any tournament's I am sure to save money and also to not let the parents see how good some ECNL teams are compared to Oakwood. We had two in our backyard but no lets go play sporting or CT rush or vail and kill them makes sense.
Oakwood, CFC and FSA have made it very clear that they have little interest in scheduling any friendlies with each other. Its strictly a business decision. Not the best one but one that any sane person could understand. Example: If FSA plays Oakwood and beats them every time----Oakwood will lose players/$. FSA Girls > Oakwood Girls. FSA Boys = Oakwood boys. CFC Girls better than both. CFC boys worse than both.Comment
