USYS vs. ECRL

[Unregistered]

The naivety of some people is scary! Winning is everything to recruit players over. It’s how $$$ is made in this business!

So SMMFH dude, pay attention..

Clueless. Absolutely clueless.

Matchfit

They roster 30 on ECNL then place 10 on ECRL then send that team to games and tournaments to win. Why the ECRL/old NPL teams did so well.

Parents used to complain and try to report Matchfit for this but nothing ever happened.

The ECRL/NPL GIRLS stood out because they had ECNL badges on at the ECRL/NPL games.

IF YOU AINT CHEATING THEN YOU AINT TRYING!

Um, Matchfit ECRL teams didn't do well in ECRL.

But no, Matchfit ECRL teams do not have an ECNL patch on their jerseys. What happens is that some of the ECNL players occasionally play with the ECRL teams (this is what ECRL teams are meant to be at these clubs; a place where end-of-the-bench ECNL players can get additional playing time). You can tell because those players (and only those players) have the ECNL patch on their jerseys, while the rest of the ECRL players do not. The only exception have seen on this is the East Meadow ECRL team, and that is because EMSC outsources their ECRL team to another club...and the club they outsourced to this year (Farmingdale SC) didn't get the memo and gave a patch to their all of ECRL teams.

Yes, many, if you read between the lines. Same training, same coaches, same exposure, better than other Tier 1 teams, better than other leagues, etc etc etc.

Well, some of that is true. Same training, same coaches definitely true.

And yes, some are better than other so-called Tier 1 teams (demonstrated by results at tournaments), better than many leagues (although not ECNL, USYS-NL, maybe GAL).

But none of this says anything about expecting ECRL teams to play in top brackets in top level tournaments. That is of course ridiculous.

The GAL clubs around the nation put their second teams in the ECRL or USYS -NL.

That tells me everything I need to know about the ECRL and the USYS-NL

They have so as to keep up with their marketing. You can't say your league is better than the DA and then put your first team in another league. That move says nothing about the quality of the other leagues.

I guess you aren't very inquisitive, then.

I don't know what to think. Certainly, it seems logical though if clubs are putting their B teams in the ECRL and the UYSYS-NL. I think it reasonable to assume that both are THE B leagues for ECNL and GAL. It does not mean that there are not strong teams in these B Leagues, such as NJ REAL but it sure seems its being set up this way.

My daughter played in National league 2 years ago before moving to an ECNL team and the USYS NL teams were good quality but not great.

ECRL is B to ECNL but both are closed leagues. GA and USYS are not affiliated. GA may be a closed league but most of those teams were never top 3 across the board in D1 EDP or USYS-NL. Right now USYS has the advantage as it has a lot more teams to draw from for better competition. GA may have some good clubs scattered around the US but most are fillers that could barely perform in EDP. Just look at the Ukies, across the board middle of the pack D3 EDP yet still invited to GA. That says everything about GA guality.

Right, but do they reciprocate and give ECRL players the same opportunities to play up? Put another way, ECRL is just an opportunity for bottom of the roster ECNL players or superstars to get additional PT at the expense of ECRL players. Always 2nd or 3rd fiddle. Never stay more than a year on any B team, any league. Give it a go for a year to get to the top team, but not more than that.

Same training and coaches?! At which club? Any club that has their best coaches wasting time on B teams is stupid and noncomeptitive. You must be joking.

ok, Perhaps so if I have an 06 daughter who has to decide what specific non ecnl team she should tryout for ,assuming she is good enough to make any non ecnl team in NJ, which are your top USYS teams? This a question a lot of parents have. Give us 4 USYSNL teams in NJ and compare them to GA teams options?

If not ecnl, all would be equal since no exposure. I would look to try for ECNL as by far first option. After that no difference in usys teams primarily because of lack of exposure. Good luck!

How can that be " no exposure" when there so many non ecnl girls playing D1 and D2. how were the exposed?

You guys are totally missing the point, does not matter what league ECNL, GAL or USYS you play in. If you’re a top player and are good enough to play D1 you will. If you ain’t than you ain’t. The whole “you have to play in league X“ in order to get looks is just propaganda aimed at protecting brand and business therefore $$$. Just focus on playing for the right team, club and coach, regardless of which of these 3 leagues you play in.
