Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHave the big clubs already moved to RI? It's a fair question to debate. Where does the NEFC Southeast U12 team practice? I haven't seen the team play, but I've seen a few players at ODP (2003 and 2004) and one or two look like they would be real players for the NEFC Elite team next year.
So do the RI kids (read:Parents) who want to play in the ECNL now start at NEFC at the younger ages? It seems like it would be easier to make the Elite/ENCL team if you have come through the NEFC system as opposed to jumping from Bayside at the U14 tryout.
(and for the smart arse that claims only 2-6 girls will be playing ENCL next year, probably should check your facts...they will be well over a dozen RI girls playing ECNL soccer next year...at NEFC, Stars and FCB).

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is correct. And NEFC SE U12 is almost all RI girls and practice mainly in Fall River and Seekonk. Not in RI per se, but border towns easily accessible to from West Bay over to East Bay. GPS RI is also building strong RI teams. The big clubs are indeed already in RI and making impacts. Now with the NEFC Elite teams moving to ECNL, I think players will start looking to start over at NEFC Southeast earlier even more than they have already started to do. This also means "the best of the rest" that stay on Premier South, will have a shot at playing NPL too, just like Bayside. Anyway you slice it ... This is not good news for Bayside. Especially if the powers that be continue to minimize the threat. Hopefully they are not that naive. It would be nice to see them continue to be a strong local RI club.

Any thoughts on what might happen with the current Bayside U13 and U14 NPL teams (I think it will be interesting to see how the impending birth year change and now NEFC ECNL announcement effects them). Both teams are very good and seem to have several elite caliber players that could make the jump to an ECNL team. I'm by no means a soccer coach, but I've been impressed with several 2002 and 2003 girls at ODP. If I have noticed, I'm sure others have as well. Talking with some of the parents, however, they all seem very happy with the club, team make up, coaching, etc (Believe it or not, parents actually talk very civilly with each other and are very complimentary of other clubs. Shocking I know).
