Elaborate please, I would love to hear how this will look!

by Zizou 06/04/18, 01:56 pm

This was posted earlier.

The rumours are the new system will be:
USSF DA - MLS/USL/NWSL
USSF National - Solars Texans etc
USYS National League
USYS REGIONAL (region 3)
USYS AREA Lakehighlands
USYSA LOCAL Plano
USYS association Frisco

Sounds like DA and ECNL are going to have "sister" or "2nd" teams at all or most age groups that basically train the same and play the same schedule as the DA and ECNL teams. So where does the talent go? If a club has both, is their 2nd team going to be the DA2 Team or ECNL team?

Is DA2 USSF driven or club driven? An attempt to put the nail in the coffin of ECNL? If a club's election and they push their 2nd team to DA2, why would ECNL allow a club to put it's 3rd team in ECNL?

When are clubs going to come clean about their intent for next year?

Finally some answers. And perhaps some stability. I see the current structure sticking for awhile, minus Solar and FCD staying in ECNL. Next year will be nut cutting time. Sad that all of the top teams in the big 5 NTX clubs won’t face each other with any regularity and maybe never.

Word around the water cooler is FCD is not going to do FDL.

Well, they do struggle to even field two top teams, but I’d be surprised for them to not sell the GDA2 “format” given their USSF allegiance. But once they drop (or are kicked out of ECNL), they’ll surely do it. Or maybe this is their concession to stay in ECNL? Do elaborate.

No elaboration. Just what an FCD parent said was told to their team.

by Medicine Man 19/05/18, 06:02 am

What's next?

by Zizou 19/05/18, 07:40 am

A new season will start. Coaches will coach, players will play, and parents will foot the bill.

by Medicine Man 19/05/18, 08:01 am

Your coach will shake your kid silly and slap her around.

by 5050Ball 19/05/18, 08:40 am

USSF DA
US Club ECNL
USYS FDL
USYS NL
US Club Regional League - ECNL2
USYS Regional League - Frontier Conference
US Club JDL
LHGCL
US Club NPL - Red River Conference
probably missed a couple; old SRPL and TCL are gone

Kids are losers, SW Airlines and Marriott are the winners. Does anyone really need to travel to play 2nd and 3rd teams from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Austin or even Houston? Sting Austin and Classics Elite 2nd teams!!! C'mon man!

It will be pretty comical for the 'mine is bigger than yours folks' who frequent this forum though. Endless debate since they'll never get to play each other.

by Medicine Man 19/05/18, 09:29 am

Zizou getting paid hes happy. Out of site of mind philosophy pools now even more exclusion. We will never know but it sure looks good on paper with disappearing ink. More leagues more teams. It never will stop as long as the demand is there.

Tournaments wont mean anything except pool versus pool.

Sting Austin for sure. Does sting have any competitive teams besides the 06s? They are becoming very DFEET like
