US Soccer Terminating DA

[Unregistered]

So the DA’s in the northeast that didn’t get into MLS or ECNL would rather form a start up league than play EDP? Ouch!!

EDP is a mixed bag of talent too.

Awesome. Can play Hs and no pda bs tampering to deal with. This might be a perfect situation. Finally...

Exactly.

This is great news. And they’ll be able to play hs? I’m in. I’ve been looking for something other than ecnl and this should work.

Is there a reason why you've been looking for something other than ECNL??
What exactly did you NOT like about the club structure?
Was it lack of tournaments? League?

League has very negative reputation with many in NJ.

Yes. Many in PA have negative view of that league also.

Yes terrible league, why do you think the Nova coach bolted from Delco to an EDP township team???

There really is nothing appealing about the league other than better exposure. That’s not enough for me but may be for some. One club has an unfair advantage and puts their thumb on the scale to tilt things in their favor. Other clubs don’t offer a quality difference to justify my changing where my daughter plays. It’s just a bad setup all-around in this area. Just a bad league really. Better leagues on horizon though hpefully.

People are starting to look at the setup of the league too closely. Just join one of the clubs and play in ECNL. A lot of people do it and it is what it is. Great exposure.

Yes why the heck does PDA have 2 teams in ECNL??? That’s a complete disgrace if that’s not an unfair advantage I don’t know what is. Can you imagine if Philly Union has 2 teams in MLS? Any league that allows this nonsense tells you it’s a business controlled by one or two clubs.

Look ecnl wants all the players centralized at PDA. Less is more and that’s what ecnl wants. That’s just the way it is. The league gives great exposure.

ECNL doesn't want that...PDA wants that. That way they can have exclusive access to the top D1 scene and charge as much as they want to do it.

ECNL teams in eastern PA are a joke. If you want to play ECNL, you have to make the drive to North Jersey. Unless your kid is a stud, it's not worth the time and hassle to make that drive 3x a week and pay the amount of money they charge.

That’s why Rutgers is one of the best programs in the NCAA and dominant D1 program...they draw the best players in the country many of them from PDA!

ahhhh the Philadelphia Union have control over the FC Delco DA. The Union will also have a connection to Sporting DE.

Rutgers and the word dominant should never be used in the same sentence ever!
