ECRL vs GAL

[Unregistered]

Name one club that was promoted.

I dont think you know what you are talking about. So let me go super slow.

NPL is dead. Welcome new NPL - ECRL.

How do we add value to the new NPL. We are going to make the best NPL teams compete with the worst ECNL teams at the showcases as a reward.

Are there any other differentiating factors between old NPL and ECRL. No.

I think there may be some decent ECRL teams in Massachusetts. It’s kind of a long drive though.

Honestly, I don’t think I would let my daughter play in ECRL. The quality of teams in this area is just not good.

It looks like Delco needs some bodies. There should be open spots. Lololololol.

LOL, Iowa? Think maybe geography has a little to do with it?

Please stop it. ECRL not remotely competitive. On consecutive weekends in Nov. / Dec STA’s 06 EDP USYS team (not its GA) beat PDA blue & white and WC ECRL teams by combined score of 10-3. Even ECNL boosters acknowledge the wide gap. ECRL not really even a path to ECNL. How many kids make the leap from ECRL to ECNL, compared to kids brought in from outside these clubs directly to ECNL?

It’s true, it’s really bad. They always have to talk about what’s going on outside this region, in Iowa and elsewhere, because ECRL in this area is so horrible.

Tough call very evenly matched. Some clubs have an edge with ECRL others with GA. For example PDA Shore ECRL is a better club than CSA GA. Better training, coaches and college placement and exposure. But STA GA would be better than a MF ECRL. So it varies.

Very fair and accurate post. PDA Shore ECRL is better across the board as compared to CSA GA. If you don’t believe me check the facts for yourselves. PDA Shore has a great track record of college commitments and CSA GA not so much. You can debate league this and league that, but here is a clear and obvious example of an ECRL club that is better than another local GA club. Not saying all ECRL clubs are better than GA, but plenty are.

Good luck with that.

I bet when you call it out with facts the GA kool aid drinkers will go silent. Nothing to stand on. PDA Shore does a great job and the facts don’t lie. PDA Shore 05 team would beat CSA 05 handily. Shame they don’t play.

GA is way better than Ecrl some argue Ga is equivalent to ecnl but if not then it’s right behind it. Ecrl is equivalent to the edp national.

You claimed no ECLR teams moved up and the poster proved you wrong. You can't change the requirements mid stream

Some clubs can field decent R teams, others cannot. Some GAL teams are good, some are not. It’s just the old NPL B league rebranded. Just another patch. Worry about who has the best coaching and teammates at teams in your area, not what's happening elsewhere

Quality team that PDA Shore, 4,5 nothing against CSA. Just judging but how good the players are in HS on the 2 teams there is no compare. The haters try to put down PDA and ECRL constantly but the facts tell the real story.

That is the only tactic these GAL coaches have
