NPL is a club wide guarantee for a club to have all teams in a top league. In FSPL teams have to earn a place.

True?
Originally posted by Unregistered View Post"only the top 16 teams." Where did you get that? That's where they start. If 4-5 of those teams elect to not play FSPL you get 17-21? Or whomever applies? Lots of disparity between #1 and 21 that does not seem to competitive. But you clearly fail to understand reality of FSPL.
That really highlights the issue though. Teams change so significantly between seasons, you don't know what you get. In our group, U15B, Coral Gables was the best team coming out of last year and they were destroyed by defections. FC Florida didn't even make the round of 16, and ended up having a pretty good season in FSPL. Pinecrest Blue is another team that moved dramatically in mother direction.
It all works out, but neither NPL nor FSPL can safeguard against the effects of changing rosters. Last years champions often have a tough time repeating. And some just lose it completely.

Florida Fire won FSPL last year but made its way back in to league 1 with a single win at last year's state cup.
Of the 20 combined teams in FSPL for U15B there were 12-14 very good teams represented, most of whom look like they will be playing in the round of 16 and a couple of surprises that didn't make it.

Part of the learning experience is getting on a bus Friday morning and returning late Sunday and still keeping up with schoolwork. The upside is parents get to stay home.
Need my kids to watch Champions League so they can wipe their minds of this style of soccer
