GA to ECRL

[Unregistered]

Curious to see what some NJ clubs would do if they get the ECRL option. Like STA for instance. They have been pushing GA big time but would they take a chance by going ECRL? I guess the big question is IF they get that option. That goes for the other NJ GAL clubs too

Not sure how it would work in NJ. ECRL NA and NE divisions are currently leagues filled with ECNL B-Teams. If they start adding non-ECNL clubs, it would cause logistical problems as well as political ones. Logistically, ECNL and ECRL schedules in NA/NE are concurrent, so once one of the leagues starts adding different teams, managing schedules and field availability becomes more complicated. Politically, some of those B-teams might need to get dropped from ECRL, and those clubs might take issue with it.

Does anyone see this as a promotion? The wording is clear. They are being given an “opportunity” for “promotion” to ECNL. That clearly means welcome to RL but they are also saying after a few years maybe there will be promoted. So that means the majority of players U15 and up when the college showcase years matter will not have that opportunity.

Jesus you are dumb. This is an old NPL league and ECNL is jus making coin from idiots like you

This hits keep coming for GA

ECNL GIRLS EXPANDS NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL LEAGUE WITH FIVE NEW TEAMS FOR 2021-22 SEASON

RICHMOND, VA (March 8, 2021) – The ECNL Girls is excited to announce the addition of five new clubs to the ECNL Girls Regional League – North Texas for the upcoming 2021-22 season: Fever United Soccer Club, Kernow Storm City FC, North Texas Celtic Soccer Club, Renegades Soccer Club and West Side Alliance.

“It’s extremely exciting to announce these new additions to the ECNL Girls Regional League – North Texas,” said ECNL Girls Commissioner Jen Winnagle. “All five clubs will elevate competition levels in the league and expand the depth of the player pool in this region. Through additional resources and increasing standards, the ECNL Regional League – North Texas will further nurture the league’s mission to Raise the Game for every club.”

“The addition of these clubs to the ECNL Girls Regional League – North Texas membership represents the extraordinary depth of talent in our region,” added Aaron Gordon, ECNL Regional League – North Texas League Director. “All of these teams now have the opportunity to continue their journey and to work for the potential to compete for a place in the ECNL post-season pathway.”

So, a couple of clubs added to ECRL league. No GAL clubs moved their teams as a result of this and this is supposed to be what? West Side Alliance now has teams in both leagues, but different locations.

Do you guys here know geography or even know how to read an announcement?

Absolutely not, but it goes to show you how desperate these GA clubs are to get out of GAL. These moves now are made for the club’s future stability from a business perspective. They can see what’s happening around them and do not want to be left without teams, without a viable business in essence.

in the northeast STA views Ecrl as an inferior league. Case in point. STA usys b team just scrimmaged pda ecrl. STA b team 4. Ecrl team 0. Why in the world would they put their GA team in that league. No way PDA would ever let STA in the ecnl no matter what their GA teams did in that league.

Everyone in this area knows ECRL is inferior. The point of the question was if STA (or any GA club) would go ECRL and what are they willing to do to get into ECNL. If ECRL can be a proving ground that leads to ECNL than clubs will take that chance. Its already worked for clubs outside of this area.

But this is all assuming any of these clubs get that option. I also know clubs like STA would do anything to get into ECNL and GAL would get dropped in a heartbeat

Parents on my daughter’s team are already chatting about other options but it’s a tough call. Eventually if GAL does not begin attracting more top talent it will just not be as viable as a top platform. It’s a shame for the players that made so many sacrifices during the USSDA days to end up in a ****ty situation like this. Just not fair.

STA would easily win ECRL at all age groups, so if they are promised by ECNL entry into ECNL by winning ECRL at all age groups, not sure what PDA would be able to do to stop them.

That said, I agree that PDA would probably do whatever it could to prevent STA from being offered the chance to play ECRL.

Would your daughter and her GDA-experienced teammates be willing to go to PDA or MFA? If they are good enough, they could get on those ECNL teams.

Then why did PDA invite the STA-MUSC 2006G NL EDP to play in the Nov. 27/28 PDA showcase against BOTH Ecrl teams (blue/ white)? Team has now played 4 ecrl games in the past 4 months, counting another game against PDA white in EDP Nov tourney, and against WC ecrl in Dec. Strange if the ecrl clubs are actually trying to avoid STA.

Yes the kids are the ones getting dragged around by adults who don't care.

Not sure, but they did the same with NY Surf the year before and NY Surf didn't get invited to ECRL either.

Not saying PDA would try to avoid having STA play against ECRL teams. But rather that PDA would not want to add STA to the ECRL league with any kind of promise that winning all age groups would get them entry to ECNL.
