We get it. Your kid tried out and got cut, or was assigned to an NPL team, or something like that. The ECNL customers - players, parents, and college coaches that recruit good players - are probably pretty happy with the product.

The biggest difference is the top 5/6 players on those teams are far and away better than top players in Maple/NEP. I agree that the bottom 1/3 of ECNL teams are no better than the top players in Maple/NEP. My daughter is a top player on an NPL team, but would be bottom 1/3 of an ECNL team, and to me it's not worth the travel, commitment, or cost. Especially if your kid likes to play other sports.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHave any ecnl teams played maple teams in the past year? What were the results?
I had an ECNL and NEP player (NEP was older) at one point. Watching the games every weekend was crazy, because the skill and intensity of the younger kid's games were so much greater. NEP was actually more fun because it was a bit more relaxed.
If you really want to gauge the levels, try beating some NEP teams from the top division. Then go and consistently beat some NPL teams. Then realize that, aside from a couple of the NEFC elite teams, even those teams would get smoked by an average ECNL team. Then come back here and chirp about wanting to compete against ECNL teams.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhy would they do such a thing? It's 3-4 levels down from where they play currently. There's no doubt that there are players sprinkled around maple that could make an ECNL roster, but the competition between the teams wouldn't be good for anyone. The athleticism would be similar, but the skill and speed of play would be worlds apart. Your kid's team would have the ball for a touch and a boot, and then it would be gone. Every time. It would be very frustrating for all concerned.

Those ENCL teams must stink considering they lost to a team that can't even get out of region 1 to make it to nationals.
