Brackets are out for Connecticut state leagues. Some interesting clubs in both leagues. I think soccer in the state would be best served with Everyone in one league with P and R. As it stands where can you find the best talent and is it deep? We already understand that ECNL and DA are for the best teams and leagues so please hold your comments regarding those. Just interested in comparisons and thoughts on these two leagues.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot true. CCSL is definitely a step up from cjsa or wysl. It’s not EDP d1 or NPL but it’s a good league.
Fairfield
Trumbull
Shelton
Guilford
New Canaan
Ridgefield
Greenwich
It seems like all the town programs are migrating to CCSL. EDP (partnered with CJSA) is getting many of the state Premier clubs. I think what will start to happen is weak town teams will stay in CJSA, stronger town and weaker Premier will go CCSL , and stronger clubs will go EDP and NPL.

ECNL and NPL have town programs...
Isn’t East Meadow a town travel program with and ECNL badge?
This league was created with a regional money grab philosophy, the current director insulates existing clubs by not allowing new access. Meanwhile, there is no pressure on existing clubs to win in order to maintain status.
How either Rush, Ac Ct, or Southeast don’t have an ECNL Branch after all the winning they’ve done in State is silly. East Meadow is town program, what makes them special?
ECNL has marketing wizards as they somehow have College Coaches Capitalizing off league and that’s the secret to their success, selling the false dream.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBut are those their "premier teams" or classic travel? Even if travel some of those towns have good travel teams at the younger ages until older kids start to move into club. Younger kids shouldn't be traveling all over for games anyway. CCSL might stay a good option for ulittle teams. But when the landscape seems to change every few months who knows any longer

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCCSL was a great option when it was only premier. Then they let in all the town travel teams because CJSA did a horrible job. Now most of the quality teams have moved to EDP CT because of pathways to EDP 1 & 2 based upon performance
