Do most clubs use these sessions to make offers for their ECNL and ECRL teams? I don't see there are separate tryouts for ECRL players.

They are just for show. There is practically no chance of getting on an ECNL team as they are pretty much locked in. Clubs are just referring players to regional teams from what I have heard. -
Not true.Comment

most players are eitehr recruited or find their way to ECNL teams by reaching out and practicing with the teams. ID sessions may help find a random gem but when it comes to that level, there's very few players who the coahcing staffs do not know already.Comment

So everyone should just skip these sessions?Comment

If your player is already on the team you go to the sessions if they are during your regular practice.Originally posted by Guest View Post
If your player already got "recruited" (not supposed to happen yet) or already contacted/practiced with the team and got an offer, you don't need to go to a session.
If you have a player who wants to see where they're at but didn't already contact/practice with the team, then you should consider going to a session.Comment

True nervous bubble player. Many rosters have holes in them especially the younger birth years. It’s known Stars Blue ECNL 2010 is struggling but they will take 5-6 while and maybe a blue ecrl player. They will move players to White ECNL. The bottom 2-3 players on any team at risk to being dropped. There are multi sport athletes that are quitting after 8th grade finally focusing on a sport other than soccer. Some players will be injured. So to say things are locked up is insane.Originally posted by Guest View Post

Dog and pony shows - just go and observe how they are run and it is obvious.
3-4 coaches in the middle of half a dozen fields or more. Kids trying out randomly thrown together with no concept of perceived level or skill set - proven ECNL mixed with proven ECRL mixed with kids off the streets.
Plus most telling observe who is not there, kids that are locks. Wouldn’t coaches benefit from testing new players against proven top players, of course if it’s a true gauge of talent?!?
Nope it’s all for show. Skip and reach out to club directly and attend practicesComment

Is there a big difference talent wise and coaching between a White National and a Blue Regional team?Comment

Not in coaching but in players. Top of blue more talented than the rest obviously. But coaches in ECNL/ECRL have different strengths but not too much different. It’s all personalities and expectations.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment
