ECRL expansion

[Guest]

Will ECRL take town clubs into ECRL like a wall or freehold ?? They both produce good teams. Is that something possible or do they only take “academies” in those leagues.

ECRL like ECNL and GA is club v club so unless Wall and Freehold could field full teams from u12 to u19 then it is a hard no. They would still need to be competitive across the board as well. Even with all that they would most likely go into the dumpster fire that is the Northeast conference which is almost ECRL except you don't play any ECNLs ECRL teams only the same teams you most likely played in EDP or Elite 64.

Don’t need to be competitive. Look at Copa, all teams are absolutely **** except 1.

Could happen! Isn’t matchfit shore nothing more than Wall “elite” or freehold “elite” but with PDA jerseys?!?

[Guest]

Because there isn't enough mediocrity in the league already?

I think MFA shore is better than wall and freehold in most age groups.

That’s exactly where they will go because they don’t have a lot of teams in there yet. I’m sure they will be fine competing since the competition is bad and it would give those kids the exposure at half the cost.

So basically ECRL will become EDP on a few years.

Let's stop pretending Freehold "elite" has any decent teams after u9.

U12 and u13 are good teams

U12 and u13 are good teams

good teams doesnt matter for ECNL as much as other factors. I would rank in order below. ECNL knows that once a club gets a badge, players flock. Other aspects are more important.

- Do you have exceptional infrastructure (training complexes - indoor and outdoor)
- Do you have a rigorous development plan for athletes
- Financial stability - demonstrated reserves
- Quality of coaching - what level of coaching licenses? Daddy coaches dont cut it
- Consistency of product / on field success across levels - have you been able to and will you be able to compete at the ECNL level across age groups

Freehold has bob smith academy indoor bubble to train in. As well as Capelli fields for turf and freehold fields.
they are getting a DOC with a plan for development.
majority of their coaches are bob smith trainers not parents.

if they got ECNL or ECRL they would keep their players longer.
they are not that far behind MFA shore and pda shore,…. Both in ECRL.

"getting a" doesnt cut it. you have to have a demonstrated plan with a track record of follow-through
number of B & C licensed coaches matter
If there is ANY tie to a preference for say Freehold kids over outside kids - you are doa. if its town travel+, no chance.

It already is!
