Looks like a way stronger league than ECRL in my opinion . Thoughts? -

ECRL is not strong competition by any means. From the looks of it this top bracket is toughOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

You can play as little as 7 games in an EDP season, which is BS. Hopefully those kids are playing more than 7 games and 2 tournaments. Games matter tooOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

15 games per season at this age would be on low end, but appropriate. Most teams wind up closer to 17-20, but scrimmages at practice often have better instructional real time impact than league/tournament games and capture the benefits of games.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Plenty of other similar studies, newsletters, opinion pieces, experiences about the benefits of training vs games for development from a variety of people I would consider experts in the industry. Here is one below.

Great article. I know a lot of parents who should read this weekly until it is ingrained in their head.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Disagree with the 4-8 weeks off unless they are talking about 4-8 weeks without your club practice. I think it’s greatly beneficial to touch a ball everyday. I think technical training in offseason (& in season) is vital and sometimes more valuable than club practice where the team sometimes is main focus. Even when we are on vacation my kids don’t go without a collection of balls. The key is they need to love playing because culturally that is the difference between the US and many other countries.
Games, tournaments, championships are of little importance in the big picture and I think most ex players, coaches, and current high level players would co-sign.Comment
