Can someone who is a club soccer nerd, with all due respect, please explain the difference? Confused AF. To narrow it down more, my 2013 has pre-GA offer, pre-ECNL offer, and ECRL offer over past 2wks. ECRL trains closest to our house, isn’t that good enough for a rising 6th grader?

Is the ecrl offer with a 2012 team? Otherwise, someone's trying to sell you something that doesn't exist for 2013s next year. ECRL doesn't have a u12 option. In any case, take the one closest to your house. Pre-ga and pre-ecnl aren't necessary. You can get into one of those teams next year if your kid has talent and is getting decent training during their u12 year.

This question has been addressed at nauseam. You really should review prior posts. This is a nuanced question that is highly dependent on many factors. No quick answer is going to be right for your player. Read the prior posts about league differences, pro and cons of the leagues, etc. The younger the player the less the league matters. Its all about development.
