It's possible they played in EDP this year. Was just responding to the comment about "the last 2 seasons" that they played NE NPL the year before (unless they have 2 teams at that age group of course).

ECNL is taking over. In the current situation they want to make more local ECNL teams. Less travel. Moving forward there will be ECNL A and B. Then the regional teams. Less traveling more local competition if you can call it that. The world as we know it is upside down and clubs are scrambling to make it work.

ECNL "rumored" to be setting up-
ECNL-Real ECNL
ECNL Regional-ECNL Clubs B teams
ECNL Alliance-Clubs like LI Slammers, NY/NJ/Mass Surf, PDA Shore, ECNL Club C teams

Normally, I'd agree but every thread is being hijacked with political BS and the NYCFC Bulldoggie Daddy is CONSTANTLY referencing the NT player who is Asian. I don't really think anyone cares that much if Susa buys another little town club.
Fury was a big deal because it was probably the most successful & storied program that LI ever had (before it got run to the ground), but buying up little EDP clubs to build their revenue is old news. I don't live on Long Island and had to look them up, they look ok.

You should do your homework. Fury was around for 3 years. Let's not confuse what you think is the story with reality. Albertson Fury is still around. Susa has just taken over the DOC responsibilities. Fury FC was a few GDA teams and quite frankly most kids are opting to not go to SUSA.

More than just a rumor, ECNL already launched an additional league under the "Regional League" umbrella in Texas-"ECNL Regional League-United Soccer Clubs".

League is C teams from Albion, Classics Elite, Challenge & Sting Austin and then a few "alliance" clubs (franchise type operations like LI Slammers, NY Surf) like Sting San Antonio & San Antonio Surf and a few random clubs.

I'm not extremely familiar with the LI landscape, but I think you're getting caught up in semantics. My point (as a casual observer) is-
Albertson Fury was a founding member of ECNL and a mainstay for many years. Fury FC, an extension of Albertson Fury, was the premier LI GDA club for a few years. Paul Riley, the NC Courage Coach was head (or involved to the best I can see) in both to some extent.

Albertson Fury is no longer in ECNL but Susa is, Fury FC was sold to Susa and Paul Riley is now affiliated with Susa, at least on paper. The boys teams that play in boys ECNL are listed as "Albertson SUSA" teams. So, on paper, Susa's involvement in all of this is noteworthy. Susa buying another town club nobody's really heard of, to fatten their revenue stream, is not.

You are 100 % correct with your history lesson.

What a minute....what does Smithtown have to do with the Slammers or ECNL. Smithtown has 0 to do with ECNL. What exactly is there connection to either Christen Press or the Slammers which s a west coast club.Your playing this town team up like it’s a big deal.....they are not. As far as SUSA being nothing, well, they play n the top league ECNL. What league does Smithtown play?

Hahaha, are you serious? You just lost any possible credibility that you could have had. You clearly haven't been paying too much attention for a year or so now. Smithtown joined the Slammers last year and are a full fledged member of the Slammers club. Maybe you don't like Slammers or whatever, and maybe the merger doesn't work out, only time will tell, but at least get your facts straight. Smithtown is the Smithtown Slammers. Come on man, do your homework, even if just a little.

So, back to the title of this thread, the fact that Smithtown is part of Slammers is exactly why the title of this thread is completely bogus.

I hate to break it to you, but nobody outside of your little LI bubble knows or cares about this. You act as if it's big, National news or something. You say-"Do your homework", why?- this doesn't affect anyone outside of your town and their club. Big ECNL clubs (Surf, Sting, and now Slammers apparently) have satellite affiliates all over the place, it means nothing to most people outside of the club. My D played ECNL this year and GDA last year, never heard of Smithtown Slammers and if I hadn't seen it on this board probably never would have.

Not ture, the bigots of Trumpville are interested, keep Smithtown white!!

Did they bring in new coaches and players? Or did they just send uniforms?

just uniforms. Same old trainers. Very hit or miss

OK, so I did my homework. The Slammers LI affiliate deal looks to be the 3rd of this nature, in addition to CDA Slammers and South Slammers.

CDA has Slammers teams in Cerritos, Diamond Bar, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Orange, and Whittier who look to have just licensed the Slammers name to slap on their kits-IE, CDA Slammers FC Cerritos, CDA Slammers FC Fullerton, etc.
Same with South...South Slammers FC South Bay, South Slammers FC Whittier, etc.

From what I can see, the CDA & South Slammers teams play in Cal South (the California equivalent to ENY) under USYS and not in the National League, more like the EDP type conferences ranging from like Lijsl/WYSL type level to EDP D1-D2ish.

So I'm still a bit befuddled as to how the LI Slammers are associated with ECNL and Christen Press...
