Match Fit and "pre-ECNL"

[Guest]

So on the girls side, there are two 2011 teams in Match Fit Morris that have "pre-ecnl" in their names. So where do they fit in? I am guessing MFA Shore blue is the team that is playing in the pre-ecnl league. There is also a Shore white team. So when they hit U13, where will the 6 teams play (counting Mercer and Mercer Surf too)?

MFA Shore Blue -> ECNL
MFA Shore White Pre-ECNL -> ???
MFA Morris Blue Pre-ECNL -> ???
MFA Morris White Pre-ECNL -> ???
MFA Mercer -> ???
MFA Surf Mercer -> ???

Not really interested in what people think of the team, or the coaches or the players, just wondering about the structure (feel like I am wasting my time saying this last part)

It's all lies when it comes to MFA Shore....that should be Pre-ECRL
All that is is an attempt to con other gullible parents into joining their circus act

As per official ECNL web page there is only one MFA team playing in Pre-ECNL and that team is coached by R. Bentley.
no other teams are listed.

I am interested in this too, with the same caveats you have in your last sentence :) We are in a different year at Matchfit and new to the club (we are not shore so don't start). I think in our year there is one shore, one morris, two mercers plus a surf (what is a surf?) Will the shore team necessarily be the ECNL team, what if a different location team's is the better team, could they get the badge instead? I'm not going to drive an insane amount of time to chase a badge, don't worry, just curious if they ever redistribute the ECNL, ECRL based on how the teams shake out once they get to U13.

yea, all of the others are still playing in the EDP League. Just wondering where they go next year.

Actually to compound the issue, MFA Shore doesn't have enough girls for two 2011 teams so its technically one very large team with assigned rosters each week. Neither of which is Pre-ECNL (or ECRL). The top girls will play Elite 55 as blue and the bottom half will play EDP as white. Cue the circus music...

17 girls on roster, as per ECNL web page

so Shore White is the Elite 64 team?

No blue play elite 64 (only 55 clubs were dumb enough to sign on to this). White plays EDP

the plan is for the Shore 11 Blue to take over the ECNL a lot like the 09s did.

The Shore will not take over ECNL or have an ECNL team. There are players on the 11 team in Morris that are better than many of the current shore players. They may blend the teams but I think if that’s how they are listed it’s because they keep hope alive for all.

If Shore doesn't get the ECNL spot and blend the teams then how does that work for training and games? You have to travel to Morris 3 or 4 times per week?

Morris blue is pre ecnl. That's it!!! The rest are in edp/e64. That will never change. Speaking of.Morris blue... they got smoked at east meadow.
enjoy the year !

You're obviously not in the know.

The ECNL team is out of Morris for practices and games. Some of the Shore parents can take their kids up and make that team but its out of Morris for everything.
