Next NJ Club to get ECNL

Delusional

Absolutely, a lot of these town teams try to sell you on something that does not exist, no track record, no college placement, no structure. You’re right about the playing in college aspect. The truly interested players that want to compete move on to higher levels like GA. SJEB, CSA etc are great options. Why take any chances playing local town ball in EDP?

Why is there such a blind eye to how poor the GA sham is? Only going by what we have here local to NJ and the GA programs and teams are no better than dozens of teams the same age.

Lipstick and pig metaphor comes to mind.

Ok you enjoy playing town soccer, seems like you got it all figured out. I’m sure the colleges are lining up for players playing EDP. You realize that GA academies have their 2nd and 3rd teams playing EDP right?

Csa and ECNL

CSA should be the next club in the ECNL
But PDA is to afraid players would leave PDA which is ridiculous.
CSA has great teams and great Facilities.
Reduce the travel.

Why is it ridiculous? PDA exists to enrich their coaches - it is means of a good livelihood for them, even though it's registered as a non-profit. Having more NJ clubs playing ECNL will not be good for PDA -- will reduce demand for their product. I cannot imagine 25-kid rosters at PDA if there were half a dozen other NJ clubs in ECNL. So their behavior is totally understandable. They have built a good brand, taken some good decisions, and now it is time to rake it in.

Do you even know what EDP is and all the different levels it has?

[Unregistered]

Correct. Many different levels. Some as high as ga and ecnl.

Not really, but OK

Correct, EDP’s highest level is technically higher than GA but gets ignored. It’s all about the $ and club politics not about the best teams.

Doubtful, their best teams are their younger teams and they don't have the national exposed players like other promoted ECNL clubs. Usually because PDA North pilfers them pre-HS or freshmen year. They do have a good program and will do well in GA for years to come.

I doubt any NJ clubs will get into ECNL even though the boys side has many more then just MF and PDA like STA and Sporting in DE. I'd wager that IF PDA South were to be dropped by ECNL that Sporting would be more in line since it already has ECNL boys and is far enough away from PDA North not to pull potential players from it.

PDA south could lose every game and they will still never lose their badge....oh wait - they have lost every game every single year at every age group. PDA needs them to help BLUE stay on top. If they added another ECNL down South Jersey they could run up against a lot of issues.

We should hear about new ECNL additions in the next 3 weeks.

There will be zero additions in this area though.
