Bigger issue is if they are implementing the DA substitution rules.

I know right? How dare they try to implement rules in place, supported by several scientific studies, that show often playing games back-to-back is unhealthy.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAre you positive? Those teams are pulling out of New England NPL? Or will they have an NPL team at U13 and a pre-academy team?
My kid is on one of them. We fully planned on her playing in the New England NPL next year as we will NEVER go DA. No desire on her part or ours. Our club hasn't communicated yet what will happen. We will NOT be driving to NY next year every other week and we will not be playing on a championship level NEP team. Sounds like it's time to call some other clubs.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou can always choose to stay on your club’s NPL team even if their top team is DA. Ours turned down a spot on the DA team, to play NPL (as did a lot of girls!). Makes our team pretty strong and the cost, travel and commitment is a much better fit than DA or ECNL. Or can you not fathom your top level player playing for the 2nd team?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOh no! Sorry if I wasn't clear. That's actually what we would love to happen. NPL is just the right amount of of money, travel, and commitment for us. We don't care if it's the 2nd team, or whatever. I just meant that our club doesn't have a deep talent pool and no one has told us what is happening to NPL next year. There is talk of moving those teams to another location and if so, we can't drive that far for practice.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlease provide the citations of the comprehensive studies done by independent, 3rd party research teams. Yeah, there are none. This is garbage put forth originally by ECNL (3:1 ratio) and then by US Soccer for youth soccer. I firmly believe they tout this to keep expenses of travel and refs down and limit on-field time to their home fields where many put 2, 3, or 4 teams out on the same field for practices at the same time. When my kids played DA, there were no qualms about consistent, high intensity small-sided or full-sided scrimmage night after night. Can't get hurt doing that but games are extremely dangerous somehow right? Give me a break. When someone touts something loudly without some type of reasonable proof it is probably because they are profiting from it.

No reason to be driving all over New England to play a game. Just play within your county and have fun. You parents are crazy.
