Interesting idea. I will wait and see. -
Looks like yet another nail in the coffin for GA. ECNL taking it to another level. Amazing how competitive ECNL has become and these folks have not forgotten that the USSF/DA tried to put them out of business. Now it’s their turn to have the last laugh. This will become the one and only US National team id platform.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Certainly will be great exposure for kids that make this team. This really is a great idea.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Great, how much extra are clubs going to charge and how much butt are you going to have to kiss to be selected for that?Comment

i think they should make it in u15, u16-17 and u18-19 age groups, limit substitutions. that would be a game changer.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Once players from leagues like GAL see this they will be very tempted to step up and take advantage.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You people need to read “between the lines”. This is just another form of ID2 ECNL made available for ECNL players. It’s for the top 1% of ECNL players picked from this league. It has nothing to do with GA or even ECNL. Players who are the top 1% of each age group will be selected leaving out the other 99% of ECNL players. Plenty of parents will now have another reason to be pissed off at a club because their daughter wasn’t selected. This new addition is really the result of clubs/teams in ECNL that have under performed in recent years. In my opinion there are clubs that should be relegated to ECRL when they play 3 years consecutively at the bottom of their regional league.Comment

Oh my goodness, soccer parents are crazy.
The super cup will be fun for the kids who make it, and nice exposure, but the top players involved would be still the top players on their teams without it...it's just another reason for parents to obsess. My kid has been a bubble player throughout high school, struggled a lot with coaches...and yet she has committed to her dream school because she did the work of reaching out to coaches and getting seen. She was never the top player on her very strong team but she is top recruit at her school of choice because she got on their radar and can bring what is needed to their college roster. Very few kids are going to get discovered at a tournament. Kids should Get in touch with coaches, go to the camps at their top schools, visit campus and ask to intro themselves to the coach as soon as allowed under NCAA rules (and respecting pandemic rules.) Unless you are on the YNT, you need to let coaches know you're interested and not sit around and wait or be mad if you don't make the super cup teamComment

Is this for committed players or only uncommitted players? The top players are committed early so unless this is for uncommitted players....why would the coaches come to watch players that are already committed to play elsewhere?Comment

It’s for the top 1% ECNL players, period. You would assume at the older age groups the 1% would be mostly committed players or else they wouldn’t be the top 1%.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This is purely a development program. A pathway for the best players to the national teams. I wonder how it will impact the HS season.Comment

Great analysis you really need to show personal interest and the team you’re on is not all that relevant as the coaches still want to build a personal relationship and see you play in person in camp.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Sure, but yet another example of how College decisions are rarely about soccer excellence alone.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
