SJEB girls soccer

LOL your self worth being tied to ECNL is pathetic, but ECNL has a bunch of hangers on at the end of every roster who are willing to pay. Must be tough being such a sad person. Probably wear an ECNL tshirt and hat to every tournament begging for someone to notice your kid. GA, ECNL, EDP, who cares but stop pretending like every ECNL is good and every ECNL team is loaded from top to bottom. If that were the case, those SJEB kids leaving wouldnt just be walking right into ECNL and playing.

True there are lower end ECNL clubs but in this area the N.A. is tough conference and not everyone is cut out to play on those teams and igood luck to your dying GA league maybe with ukies gone you’ll have a chance at playoffs or champions league highly doubt it though since your best players leave for better competition in ECNL

SJEB had good players. They left to join better teams in a better league.
Must be tough wishing you could be even a “hanger on” at an ECNL club.
and my ECNL merch is

The badge or lack of badge doesn’t matter.
What matters is the training. Ask yourself, is your child developing?
are they being pushed?
the problem with sjeb is the training

Either league is fine and good player play in both. But ECNL is the more respected. If GA was just as good 3 of the best GA clubs would not have left for ECNL this year. No ECNL teams are leaving to go to GA. I think if SJEB could they would.leave GA too.

LOL I dont even have a kid playing in GA, that is the funny part. It is just hilarious how much you tie yourself to a league. If your kids was any good on whatever powerful ECNL she is on you wouldnt be here posting. Get a life. Pathetic adult.

I’m actually not tied to any league. And I have a great life nothing pathetic over here. Sorry your butt hurt over a statement which isn’t false. If GA was so great their best teams wouldn’t leave the league to go to ECNL or every the ECNLRL.

GA will be gone inside of 3 years. SJEB will merge with yet another club in hopes of staying afloat. However, the mass exodus that just occurred may be the final death blow.

What mass exodus?
what happened?

[Guest]

It’s SJEB what do you mean what happened??? Coaches are abusive and horrific on top of the league they play in is losing legitimacy and is clearly not what everyone promoted or thought it would be

[Guest]

But what about the Nor’easters? I heard one of the sjeb teams left to join them? Are they a good club? New to this elite soccer stuff.

fake news

Not everyone CAN play ECNL.
and GA stinks. Glorified EDP.

SJEB 2012 GA team is better than most ECNL teams in the region, and just that’s cold hard facts. The league doesn’t matter. What matters is the girls are developing and becoming better versions of themselves while playing for that team.

Didn't an 07 just commit to Brown?

All clubs have connections to certain universities, you can look at any club in the area and see that each one has several going to certain schools.

There are over 330 D1 schools with women's soccer, going D1 isn't a flex as most players from NJ end up going somewhat local for college and there isn't that many top D1 programs in the area.

D2 or D3 isn't a disgrace, we do have some top nationally ranked programs in the area.

Parents need to understand that not every player wants the commitment of playing D1. As it was explained to us by several college coaches D1 is basically a job were they can expect 40+ hours a week being dedicated to their sport. D2 is slightly less of a commitment but still a big time suck at between 25-40hrs a week. D3, a player is expected to be a student and the time commitment is generally less at around 15-20hrs a week.

Not every club commit receives a scholarship, some are grey shirted and others listed as preferred walk-ons. This is part of the reason you see so many make a team for a year or 2 and then transfer or drop the sport. They just don't get the scholarship/time they wanted and it becomes a choice between committing time to a sport that they can no longer compete at that level or start working towards their future education plans.


Most people on here haven't been through the process or still believe that play on X team/club/league guarantees that their kid will play at a D1 national contender. Sorry, but even PDA Blue and PFs rosters are mostly filled with players that don't commit to a national contender. I have never seen or heard of a school not looking at someone just because they play in GA or bottom end of ECNL. They may not go to any showcases to see them but will usually ask them to attend an ID camp/showcase hosted at the school or that they plan on attending. Most players start the recruiting process late and don't have an idea what major(s) they are looking for. Most of these coaches have lists a dozen+ players deep that are sophomore's and freshmen as those players reached out early as interested in their program and may have attended an ID or 2 already.

Great post

No one from sjeb is going D1

So Villanova, LaSalle, SJU, Penn State aren’t D1? When did they move?

Who has SJEB “merged” with?

Will they still be better in two or three years? That is when it matters. Nobody cares about 2012 players winning. It is about developing. Lets see if they can compete with higher end ECNL teams when it matters.
