FAKE NEWS...MF Shore is definitely getting ECNL is just a matter of when not if. You must be bitter CSA parent since you know for sure CSA not getting it.

Lol... MF Shore getting into ECNL is like saying all the clubs are giving everyone back half a season credit. Seems like someone is hitting the pipe a little late in the afternoon. If you believe that, I have a nice bridge going over to Brooklyn I'd like to sell you....

Let’s look at this logically. The handful of clubs that have 2 (or 3 as with PDA) teams per age group in ECNL are clubs that are top-performers across all ages year in and year out. Most competed in ECNL and GDA at the same time in the first year or 2 of GDA. PDA, FC Stars, Concorde Fire, Eclipse, etc. Match Fit is not even close to that level.

PDA South top performers at all age groups? same thing with PDA Shore? Stop with the nonsense.. PDA Blue is cream of the crop , White, South , and Shore ride Blues coattails and are able to build the brand because parents are desperate to identify with a winner . If it isn’t Blue it’s a cheap imitation and they aren’t any better than the majority of ECNL..... PDA has maxed out their Brand and can’t grow anymore, what’s next PDA East , West and Central.. If MF can capitalize off the back of clubs who can’t get out of their own way like CSA, SJEB, and STA good for them, give them a 2nd ECNL team.. Who cares in the long run but a bunch of lonely guys on a soccer forum.

Lolol PDA Shore is a laughingstock even among the PDA family. Only thing that resembles PDA North is the 3 letters...other than that it’s basically Toms River FC with a different uniform.
If you want to compete with the best PDA North is it, the rest is just a cheap imitation.

Far from fake news. PDA has said they won't put another central Jersey team in. They just added PDA South. I know it's hard to accept, and believe what ever you've been told. On a side note, why is it that if anyone knocks the MF/CSA teams it's a bitter parent? Do you honestly think every singe person that comments on these threads is really a bitter parent? You really need to step away from the punch bowl. Don't be surprised when MF is OUT of the ECNL next season. Oh wait, your beloved RT said that won't happen. Nevermind. He would never lie to any parents, just like DB would never lie to a parent. A year from now you'll be jumping ship to join PDA.....

sorry bud. talk to christian. the decision was part of surf coming back to ecnl. guess which club sends more players to nat team and to D1 colleges. thats right. its SURF.

Ok. Let me explain this to you slowly so that you can understand. PDA, Stars, etc. have been proven performers in ECNL for years as clubs. Those clubs (and others mentioned) were granted a second team. Match Fit has been universally bad. Just look at the northeast standings last year. At most ages, PDA White and Stars White still finish above MF. Not to mention that PDA Blue and Stars Blue are almost always 2 of the top 3 in every age group. You think ECNL is going to reward a bottom 3 club in the northeast with a second team? While they’re at it, they can add another Bucks and Delco team. SMH

The Surf teams in CA are the real surf teams. Surf just added teams in MA and RI. You think they are getting into ECNL? Nope.

I seem to recall reading a article about this. (Don't remember if it was on Soccer Wire, or a similar site, but it wasn't on Talking Soccer). It basically said that since the demise of the DA program, alot of talented DA clubs were looking to get into the ECNL. Quite a few did make the switch, but in states like NJ where geographically it didn't make sense to add more, they were going to re-evaluate the current clubs for the 21/22 season and remove the lower performing clubs and replace them with some of the other talented DA clubs to keep the level of competition at the highest. It's no secret that MF hasn't been putting out alot of great teams and I wouldn't be surprised if they will be removed to allow a other north Jersey team the opportunity to join. I really don't think adding a good 09 team is going to be able to save their spot. The entire club would need to do an amazing turn around in a year. If I can find the article I'll post a link unless someone else has it....

This would make a whole lot of sense and up the competition level for everyone. Off the top of my head I would say in addition to Matchfit, bucks and delco could be on the chopping block or forced to merge. Bucks and delco are perennial basement dwellers across all age groups on the ECNL. ECNL would be much stronger if they drop the loser clubs. To be fair ECNL should put the clubs in jeopardy on notice or probation for a time to get their act together and if they fail to do so it’s bye bye. I guess time will tell.

Maybe the narrative is backwards. ECNL is bringing in Surf to clean up crap on the east coast. Just imagine for a second the shockwave if they awarded Surf NJ (forget the MF label) entry to ECNL and they turned out to be successful in 2-3 years after cleaning up CSA and PSA mess.

A new uniform doesn’t change the coaching/development at a club. Name it what you want, it’s still MF. Unless they are bringing in a big stable of coaches from Surf in CA, it will be the same junk in a new shirt. Surf sells a license to the name. Nothing more. They depend on gullible parents to believe that the name makes the club better.

Maybe flying to CA's ECNL to practice would be "pathway". :)

Some of PDAs Shore teams play ECNL using their home fields as Zarephath while practicing in Toms River. Why can’t Matchfit Shore do the same thing?

First off, get your information correct. PDA Shore IS NOT IN THE ECNL. PDA South is. As for MF Shore, based on what the ECNL is saying, under performing clubs will not be around for the 21/22 season, with STA being the front runner to replace them. Believe what your beloved coach is telling you. It's his job to keep you all happy. Only time will tell what the future holds for MF...

Your giving this information as if this is an absolute fact. Can you direct us to where you read that ECNL will be taking action against under performing clubs as well as where they specifically state STA is the front runner. I absolutely agree they need to either demote or show the exit to under performing clubs that do nothing to improve. When you have 3 ECNL clubs already in NJ with 4 teams per age group do you really think they will add a 5th team per age? There is already a lack of depth of talent and you want to add more? It seems those parents whose players cannot earn a spot on an existing ECNL team think if they keep adding clubs there kid can finally play ECNL. Let us know where you read that information.
