Girls Academy Relegation

[Guest]

not sure if it applies, but a lot of top players are still in the states and arent playing yet. Our 09 team has 4 girls still in it and their HS coaches wouldnt let them play this weekend

Wow, wouldn't think hs would have any jurisdiction over clubs. If no conflict I'd let my kid play with club.

and then your kid will sit in HS. At least at my school you agree that during the HS season, HS comes first

CSA Monmouth went to the northeast because it was a weaker conference!! They needed some wins..

They went from being in Champion's Cup to being a middle of the pack club when they moved.

People seem to have 0 sense when gauging clubs/teams/leagues. Yes, the TOP of ECNL is far better then any other league nation wide. Now when looking at JUST the North East ECNL you have PDA Blue and Penn Fusion and now Ukies (who just came from GA). The rest aren't any better then most GA clubs. Now, after all that, most of GA and ECNL clubs are still far better then RL or USYS/EDP clubs/teams. To put it into perspective....

Wanna play in college? You should be at least...

Top 50 D1 school or National Qualifier school - Be the top 4-5 on the team on an ECNL playoff caliber team or top 8 team in GA
P4 school - Starter with more then 60% playing time on top half ECNL conference team or playoff caliber GA team
Mid Major - Starter with 50% playing time on any ECNL or GA team
Bottom end D1 - Play on a ECNL or GA team and get 40% playing time

That is a rough estimate, if you aren't hitting those marks ie bench player on an ECNL team then most likely you aren't getting offers for a top 50 D1 school. Yes, there are exceptions and it has happened but don't count on it.

Crapping on GA isn't going to get little Suzie from PDA South on to UNC, maybe UNC Greensboro or Asheville but not a Tar Heel...Sorry.

Truth is, the North East/New England area has some very strong and competitive clubs/teams but doesn't have to many top D1 schools. Most players tend to stay within a 150-200mi radius of home. You have Rutgers, Penn St, Towson, Brown, Bucknell, Princeton, Harvard, and Providence that made the national playoff last year. Brown, Bucknell, Princeton, and Harvard are very difficult to get into in general. Between the NE and NA we have a total of 3 P4 schools (Rutgers, Penn St, Maryland). That is why a majority of the players from most ECNL and GA wind up at the same schools, look at the commits list for EVERY club in both leagues, the read almost exactly the same when you take out the top destinations. PDA gets to over emphasis their commits because of MO being the head coach at Rutgers.

Basically, get over it, neither is better in this area. Anyone saying anything else is trying to sell you something.

Best thing I have read on this horrible forum so far.

Very interesting analysis for sure but not sure how to quantify some of it. My d plays on a mid level ecrl team not sure where she fits on the map

CSA is a joke. Can’t compete with top GA teams and would be embarrassed by ECNL teams. Get real loser.

ECRL - If a starter and plays 75% on a National Playoff caliber team - Maybe local mid-major at best. Doesn't mean don't go to ID camps for dream schools but just temper expectations. There are about 71 D1 schools with women's soccer between MD to Maine so options are available.

How is stating a FACT warrant being called a loser? CSA M was in the Mid Atlantic the first year and was in the Champion's Cup and the next year was moved to the North East conference. How big of a loser do you have to be to not understand a statement of fact?
