One hundred percent of the time these "huge" announcements are nothing burger duds. what could it possible be. another bright shiny new league? Uggg. Sorry. Next. -
Yes Mr. T. Overuses that word quite a bit for very small items. For example, he says he is huge but he is very, very small.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Trumpisms have become part of the vernacular as well as insults and it has carried over to kids soccer. Shame, shame.Comment

The OP was referring to the Penn Fusion Showcase going on this weekend, not necessarily a Penn Fusion coach.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Was not referring to a Penn Fusion coach. Very much a NY coach that she was talking toOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

So for all of you people talking about comparing ECNL and GDA teams, continental ECNL 05’s just outplayed, and beat NYSC’ 05’s. Just a FYI, NYSC is one of the strongest teams in NE GDA and Continental is one of the weakest teams in ECNL. Just saying people that the stronger teams are in the ECNL. Let the hate start now...Comment

no one is talking about that anymore. both leagues are similar. both have problems. both have strong. both have weak. move on to something more interestingOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Truth be told. NYFSC is strong in a weak division. Was last year as well. Even in ECNL (as WC) they were good not great. So I would not base anything on this. An older Continental team beat one of the spirit teams last year at the same showcase and then was beaten up by FC VA. So, it's just that the balance of the scales have not balanced out yet.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
There are good ECNL teams and good GDA teams. This is what makes it hard for the parents and the players. Where do you go?
What is concerning is the exodus taking place from GDA. Many kids and several big national championship caliber clubs (teams won ENCL championships in the past) left GDA to go back to ECNL (Hawks, PDA, Slammers). Then, some YNTs left other teams as well to go back to ECNL. So, I have seen some very watered down ECNL games and very watered down GDA games. There is no pyramid right now. They both have settlement cracks.Comment

Agreed. Just wish we knew where to go? I'm sick of buying new uniforms. That is an expensive no one talks about. Club fees, training fees and then the new uniforms all the time because of the different switches for names, leagues and more. This is why organized sports at high level are rich man's game.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Didn't the ECNL teams need to do this? Do they have choices? Someone was talking about GDA and ECNL teams competing against each other this weekend.Comment

They get to choose...World Class FC chose all East Coast ECNL Events . No need to travel across the country when the majority of their players will stay on the east coast. The event the OP was talking about was the Penn Fusion Showcase where GDA and ECNL teams played this weekendOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not a mandatory event so not all clubs or teams went. ECNL has more events so teams can pick and choose. Some are east coast, others west.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The ECNL has 6 showcases throughout the season. They don’t attend them all. Depending on the age group, the ENCL teams are only required to attend from 1-3 of the 3 showcases. The ENCL teams at Penn Fusion this weekend chose showcases other then Texas.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

So to the coach that was ear hawking the convo at the Showcase, what is US Soccer saying? Stay the course with GDA? If all the good kids are moving to ECNL, including their YNT's how is that any reassurance? This really is very stressful.Comment

This is what I am referencing? What was said? How were they saying it? Was it a club or college coach talking with the US Scout?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
