Just dont understand that you play 1 showcase and 10 league games in the fall when EDP town teams do more than that

You pay for the name and remember, only 2 practices

Not sure if this is only middle school years but definitely not the case in HS years regardless of Blue or White.
as a side note what is a showcase for 8th graders? That’s beyond stupid.

Why is everyone so down on pda white 2011 when 2012 and 2013 are at the same level (although they each have 1 win and the 2013's also have a tie)

I think people are down on white as a whole this thread is just specific to 2011

Sorry, all PDA teams are trash unless it’s the top team. Paying for a name to feel like you’re part of a good squad. Truth hurts.

Pda / ecnl leading the charge to a broken system. Having 2 teams at one location is counter intuitive to fielding the best teams possible in a " elite" league. Think about it. A white player exceeds expectations, is productive and makes an impact on field. Promote to blue and demoralize the white team who loses its best player. If you don't promote to keep white team completive and add players for blue from outside, why stay on white. The two teams in one location is a horrible concept and for ecnl/ pda to keep playing along with this political game is a joke on the league, and the parents

White have a huge amount of committed players for the 2025 grad year. More than any other program in the state bar Blue.

My kid was offered a spot on white and we passed due to their model, the b team culture, turnover and toxicity that results from that whole dynamic. Wasn’t willing to let those factors ruin her love of the game. Decided to let her be a kid and play with a group of girls she liked and with a coach who plays what in our opinion is the “right” way.

I’m sure they have a good year or two like many clubs but why does every other ECNL program have to have good teams throughout all ages to get a badge yet pda gets a pass?

What team/coach is that if you don't mind me asking? Looking for options for my 2011 who's team plays kick and run suddenly.

Every team plays kick and run it seems. Lazy coaches who care about winning is the reason.

Pda white 12s/13s get regularly crushed I've seen 9-1, 10-1 scores. Shouldn't be that way in ecnl. Good for the 25 class, I'm sure kids who stuck it out deserve it but for the 11s, 12s and 13s right now it's not great soccer at all

How about the ECNL pumping bumper sticker parents who talk crap about other leagues not being competitive and then have those same score lines happening.
