Re: New Division added to LHGCL?
No promotion or relegation, I get. But limiting consumers to 1 of the Big 5 seems to be driven by something other than development.

I don't see how this makes LH any better but I can see how it'll drive more players to play for the ECNL clubs. What's next, an all DA LH division?
Great idea!

I would suspect its for only the ECNL TEAMS only and not the entire/all "5" Big Clubs....
That means for the U12.....they could potentially alienate 13 teams from this 3 divisions.

That would bring in 13 new PPL or APL teams. Watering down.SocDad wrote:Why isn't anyone talking about the MONEY aspect. Could it be LHGCL wants in on the action (money) and so they are creating another league to bring in the ECNL teams?

Its either a money thing or a big club thing. No way this is about development.

Re: New Division added to LHGCL?
Champions League - Sounds like this will be similar to Premier League and will be a regional league (TX/OK) open to non-ECNL teams to be invited and/or qualify. US Club Sanctioned.
Jr. Development League - Sounds like this is pre-ECNL or Jr. ECNL league that will be exclusive to the ECNL clubs. Also US Club Sanctioned
I don't have details yet about which age groups these leagues will cover, and whether either/both of these leagues will be "in addition to" or "in place of" playing in LHGCL. Seems to me that this looks something like what the ECNL clubs did in Cali with EGSL.
My understanding is also that LHGCL will continue to function as it has been, under USYSA/NTSSA sanction.

No they don't, but it certainly helps them if LH offers to run the leagues, which looks like what is happening here. LH keeps their biggest customers happy and maintains some degree of relevance.

Is it not already chaotic... so what better time to rip off the bandaid.

Dread Pirate wrote:Yes ATP, ripping off the bandaid is the best approach- agreed. Its the when and how that I take issue with. Changing the entire league structure AFTER an entire spring of preparations by teams to build rosters, test out guest players in tournaments , and after hundreds of families have planned their summers around QT (now likely unnecessarily) is simply offensive. BW is right. We don't need LH to do this. LH has had ample time to get their act together. This has been discussed for MONTHS.
Not following, perhaps because there are no real details yet, but how is QT likely unnecessary?
