    It’s a shame more people can’t figure it out before they waste all time and money on low level ECNL clubs. If your kid is that good go to PDA otherwise there is no difference between a top edp, NL team and the FC Bucks, Delco’s of the ECNL - except possibly bragging rights to say your kid is on “ECNL” team.

    Fact is the college placements of PSA, Bucks and Delco are all very similar, and I would argue the training and coaching is in fact better at many non ECNL clubs - especially at the younger ages. The stupid limited sub rule the ECNL uses does not do the kids any favors in terms of development- especially at the younger ages. Absolutely ridiculous to not be able to sub kids freely at the U13-U15 age groups. It handicaps the coaches and forces many kids to only play one position. It doesn’t allow for a coach to pull a kid out give them instruction and then put them immediately back in the game to try what’s been suggested. It really leads to lazy coaches - I’ve seen some just set timers when they are going to sub. It’s beyond ridiculous.
    There actually is a HUGE difference between the FC Bucks and Delcos of ECNL and top EDP and NL teams -FC Bucks and Delco doesn't even try anymore -they just rely on the patch and year after year put out a subpar product/service. On the other hand, without a silly patch to wow naieve parents, top EDP and NL teams actually have to try and put out a decent product/service in order to attract and retain talent.

      Excellent point - there is a huge lack of training and development at both bucks and delco - and the end product shows this with both PA ECNL clubs near the bottom of the entire ECNL. People would get much more out of club like PSA if only they could see past the patch.

            NPL is Ecnl-rl now (same thing now). They would have to pay the parents to get a kid to play in that farce league. Its a joke league for the biggest of suckers.

                    I laugh at the parents that waste cash on ecnl-RL. How stupid can one be to fall for that RL league. Desperation one would guess.

                      Yes ecnl is a great league. Ecnl-RL is not. RL is for people that like to be con’d out of money.

                        Yep ECNL - RL is an even bigger money grab than ECNL, Absolutely no reason to play in that league over EDP or NL. It’s one big con job.

                          Ecnl-RL will die out. There can’t be that many dopes that fall for that as the years go on.

                            ECRL was NE NPL before and didn't seem to have much trouble fielding teams. It's actually the perfect league for players interested in D2 or D3 soccer, as they are pretty much guaranteed entry to Jeff Cup and PDA Showcase where tons of D2 and D3 coaches come to scout.

                              That league is no different than the national league and top edp teams. Don’t be fooled by the wrapping paper the present is the same inside

                                That's a joke, PSA is horrible at player growth and development! MFA is worse!

                                Focus on developing your child's game, get outside with them, play pick-up soccer at DTS, Bob Smith, Centercourt (well, no plays pick up there), wherever there is a field, kick a ball.

                                PSA acquired those clubs, SFDC, Wildcats, Sportika, and now all the local coaches and players are gone.

                                What did you think an acquisition was going to do? It's not about the kids, it's always about the $$$
