With the second year of the alliance, apparently expanding to older age groups for the boys side too, curious what the respective clubs tryouts, etc. would look like this year?
The DA boys from SSA that have aged out, it's likely already decided who CF will want to take next season on their DA roster.
For the ECNL girls, we have already seen what form that has taken - CF has provided an entire ECNL slot, more or less.
For the older SSA boys, this is off the SSA web site (https://clubs.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=347705):
"17U, 19U Concorde (BOYS) ECNL Tryouts: Through a partnership with Concorde Fire, players interested in playing on the Boy's ECNL program's teams in the 17U and 19U age groups are invited to attend tryouts hosted by SSA."
Really, how in the heck will this older boys' tryouts for ECNL be handled? Will CF come to SSA fields with their ECNL players and hold a scrimmage? If so, then CF would basically bring their boys that are already selected to play ECNL on their side (duh!). And, would they really take an SSA player?
Interested in your thoughts here.

I assume you are asking from the SSA perspective?
Regarding one part with the CF Premier ECNL, will this continue with the 07's? If so, will this have an impact on the NPL long term? In the 2 age groups where SSA had both, their NPL girls are bottom of the table, telling me that basically like every other club they don't have the depth to field 2 high level teams concurrently. The SCCL teams in these age group are mid-table, so not bad there. Are they going to be able to field an SCCL-P team capable of hanging with the current Athena A teams from the rest of the big 6?
I'd be curious to hear from parents on these NPL teams.

The 05 boys DA tryouts should have loads of talent and be very competitive.

To keep another thread from derailing, my post is to see what tryouts hosted by SSA for CF ECNL will look like, rather than the aftershock of possibly SSA NPL players and entire SSA NPL teams (in the case last year with the girls) playing ECNL under Concorde.

The future of this will depend on our the financials work out -- will SSA get $ when back when players register with/through concorde etc? Concorde seems to be in the habit of carrying huge rosters in the older DA age groups, I hope this just doesn't continue that trend. Its probably also time if he hasn't yet, for Ken to stop coaching DA. They need to hire/bring in a real coach.

Has this been communicated to membership as many seem confused.
