      So how are the ****e Bolts affiliate playing? Because LL is smitten with BA, or vice versa.

      Ride the Wave BA!

        amen to that!

          it’s about having a full season of competitive matches, for all the teams. The concern is whether this group of teams does that.

            LL freaked out when Surf surfaced. She thought she could sweep up after GPS demise. Add to that Seacoast appearing, she thought she could sweep up when FCUSA fell apart. Now she’s created a mess and will suffer because of it.

            Get every adult in a room. Get rid of your agenda and think about the kids. It’s really that simple.

              Couple of gripes I am hearing from departing teams
              -DPL was requiring the clubs to pay for Florida tourney regardless if they went or not. That didn’t sit well with the clubs. Ironic, when this past spring they had no problem not giving full refunds to parents for lost seasons.
              - Why not go back to NEP? Supposedly they were not happy with the relegation process. Hard for teams to get into higher levels unless you were a founding father club or win you division
              - as for the new league they intend on expanding in the near future

              If you are looking to play in college run run run

                  Run where? Besides ECNL on girls side it is more or less the same. With where the GAL is trending this new league will be as competitive with the GAL with much less travel. The showcase events tied to it probably won't be much different than what the GAL will be getting for college coaches.

                    Exactly! Where are you going to run? ECNL will never let any other clubs in this area enter in.
                    Instead of NEP NPL this is an opportunity to try and create a higher level NPL for this area much like the old Northeast NPL where the Stars and Scorpions played.

                    This is a good situation for clubs to have high level league play where the founding members all enter their top teams into it... besides the club that also has a GAL license. If the clubs are not happy with GAL or if it crumbles again they can land here.

                      This is a precursor move to the GA failing, or becoming completely irrelevant, in the next 6-18 months.

                        Or stronger. The DPL was supposed to be a pathway into GA. Now the ****e has left maybe that’s exactly what it will become.

                          This will not be a higher level npl lol. If my kids were looking to play in college I would look to play in a club where your exposure will be at the highest. I just don’t see talented players wanting to play in this league. I anticipate a number of top players leaving the clubs. Just too much moving around...The clubs were so excited to announce DPL a year ago and look where they are. The level of play has gotten worse by eliminating nefc and seacoast teams. As much as I hate to say it but ecnl and gal are where college coaches will go.

                            Bottom Line: There are TOO MANY LEAGUES. For pay for play youth club soccer in Mass., there needs to be no more than 2 leagues. Throw everyone in with tiers, and adjust accordingly as time goes on, to ensure the appropriate levels of development and competition for ALL players.Right now, its a clownshow.

                                Club soccer is corrupt and this new league is another example of some feeling they need a bigger slice of the action.
