Truth about NEFC/ECNL

[Unregistered]

You are not NEFC parent because the real NEFC parents know what is going on.

It's probably Suzie's evil twin, Sylvia. She remains unstable and unhappy even with the best of news. And seeing her rivals even just breathing sends her into a frenzy. She also wants to know if Breakers will ever make the playoffs before the league folds again. And she certainly cannot tolerate taking her children to watch Stars and Scorps grads play professional soccer.

Begs the question of who BB will be partnered with for their home and away weekends in ECNL competition? A central premise of ECNL is that two area teams travel together to play one game each on Sat/Sun vs. two other clubs. And vice versa on home weekends.

Anybody out there figured out how it's going to work with Stars, Scorps and now third wheel BB, all being from eastern Mass?

Third Mass team isn't going to be much of an issue, the team out of Rochester NY will be an issue

then enlighten everyone -

Everyone that needs to know is enlightened. Ask your coach if you are serious. If you need more stuff to roll, dead-end.

I find that NEFC parents will believe anything they are told. Boston Breaker Academy will be holding open try-outs for their ECNL teams next year. Do you really think that all the players on the current NEFC Elite teams will make the ECNL team. Is this what you were promised, then I have swamp land to sell you. They will be recruiting players just like every other club and the players in 2 or 3 years will be much more different than the players today. When this happens Boston Breakers will not need NEFC anymore because Boston Breakers control the ECNL tag and will also control the GDAP when that is announce next year. I do not care about how good NEFC is at business and how solid their partnership might be on paper but if BBA can disolve its partnership with FCB midyear, I am sure they can do the same with NEFC. LB is only out for him and Boston Breakers Academy. The million dollar question NEFC parents should be asking is who is coaching these ECNL teams next year. Will TD, LB, JA, SH, CT, RL, NB or some other coach.

News Flash- NEFC holds the coaching assignments for ECNL.

Also, the age group change is the X factor in all this so beware of where your daughter is in the new pecking order for next year.

Another sad attempt at trying to pick holes. Don't worry about who will be coaching the teams or what agreements NEFC has with Breakers. The people in the club know exactly what they have and what is going to offered. Do you really think the board of directors would go into an agreement that doesn't serve the best interest of the club? You sound like a jilted ex. I'm sure your club will be just fine. They may lose some talent, but they'll still field teams.

No, 98-99 is a combined group next year.

Supposedly to be coached by JA

As an outsider, this deal makes sense for both clubs. NEFC has the youth development structure ECNL and other associates are looking for. Breakers has the top of the pyramid (NWSL and the pro team) and the ECNL badge. Both parties need each other. If Breakers were to ditch NEFC, they would have NO youth development foundation. This would likely lead to their ECNL demise. Building the youth infrastructure that NEFC has takes time and talent that Breakers do not have. Also, NEFC cannot run roughshod over Breakers because they have the "prized" badge.

Both need one another.

Bingo! That's how good partnerships are formed but don't tell the fellowship of the miserable here because they are desperate for this to fail and will seize upon any tiny little shred to blow up and make an PR issue over.

It's good for kids in this area to have three clubs in ECNL. It's a good soccer market in Boston and it can support 3 teams.

please define "support".

rarely over the last 10 years or so has the new england area produced 2, let alone 3 teams in the same age group able to compete successfully on the national level at the same time.

the talent is just not there. maybe dap with dual years will help, so we are really really talking 2.5 teams not 3. or maybe these teams will be attractive enough to draw kids from the far reaches of new england. even so, it seems a stretch to think the area will have 3 national level teams...

unless by support you mean parents will shell out big bucks. then we could have more than 3!

what am i missing?
