My daughter is new to SCCL after coming over from a NL team. I've heard different things so if anyone can clarify for me in simple terms I will really appreciate it.
I have heard the following:
1. The team who finishes 1st in the current fall season PLUS the team who wins the SCCL Cup in the spring advance to regionals/nationals.
2. If that is the case a few questions:
a) How does this work b) When would regionals/nationals be c) What is the geographic area for Regionals, and then Nationals?
For example, even though its probably a long shot for our 05 UFA Norcross girls, can someone give me an example of how it would play out for us IF we are lucky enough to move on?
We are currently in 4th after 6 games but have tied all three teams ahead of us with 4 players (3 starters) all missing 4 games, so we know we have the chance to beat some of those teams.

Honestly, speak with Sergio Magana at UFA-Norcross. He took an SCCL team all the way to the national championship this past season, so he'll be able to give you that info first hand and answer any follow-up questions that may arise from the answers including a multitude of scenarios... Good Luck

If what ive read on here is correct, any US Club team can apply to US Cup Regionals.
My understanding is that SCCL fall champions and SCCL Cup champions will get an automatic bid to US Club National Cup, bypassing the regional tournament.
It will be interesting to see whether the SCCL-P fall champions get the same automatic bid to US Club National Cup. And whether the SCCL-P teams will be allowed in the same division of SCCL Cup as the rest of the SCCL teams.
For most ATL clubs it won't matter, the SCCL-P team is simply a lower level team at the same location than their SCCL team. However this is not the case for any of the East/SC teams nor AFU (who is currently in 1st in 5 of the 12 SCCL-P brackets and 2nd in 2-3 more, with half of the season to play) AND the UFA Forsyth Red boys (who are not a lower level at the same location as the SCCL team) who also appear strong in SCCL-P.
This may incense the 05 UFA Norcross families who left AFU a bit, but it's possible that their former team MAY end up qualifying for the National Cup from regular season play.

ONLY the SCCL league winners went directly to Nationals. The SCCL champions did not get any bonus for winning. You are correct that any team can go to regionals and try to qualify for nationals.

The UFA 06 Red team is the Forsyth 2nd team and they play in the regular SCCL The UFA 06 Norcross Premier team plays in the SCCL-P and that's the top team at Norcross. They got demoted to P due to how they did in the season last year. Even though its a whole team, RS decided they should be moved down.

The UFA boys 03 SCCL-P team is also top of the table. And this is exactly how SCCL-1 and SCCL-P should work within a club that has teams in both. Promote a location that does well in SCCL-P and demote a location that does poorly in SCCL-1. Other than a couple GSA SCCL-P teams stepping up (04G's come to mind), the SCCL-P team for the other clubs is discernibly a lower-level team than the -1 team. Speaking of which, I know they've only played 3 of 14 (SCCL-1) and 12 (SCCL-P) games respectfully, NTH on the girls side thus far appears nowhere near as dominant as they were last year.
Looks like the Norcross 06B team is making a case for promotion back to first division thus far.

If you are talking about the boys and looking at the standings I assume you are since the girls don't have a UFA at that age at any place near where you said in SCCL or SCCL-p. The UFA 06B Team that is in SCCL is 5th place not 2nd having played 1-2 more games than the next 3 above them. It seems UFA may have made a mistake putting the UFA Norcross 06B team in the SCCL-p division and putting the Red team in SCCL. That UFA-Norcross 06B team has no business being in SCCL-p and will easily win the division. They are head over heals better than any other team in that SCCL-p division. They beat an ECNL team in pre-season tournaments as well. My son's team played them in a tournament, and they aren't an SCCL-p team. They most likely would be 1st or 2nd in SCCL 1st division as well. I could see them being mid-tier in NPL as well. I don't know who the genius in UFA was that made that decision in that age group, but they were wrong. I hope they are smart enough to rectify that between Fall and Spring season and switch the two teams mid-year for the sake of both those teams and for the sake of that SCCL-p division since they clearly better than that division and it does a disservice for all teams in the division with them being in it.

I'm referring to the 05 girls' team in SCCL. They are currently 2-1-3 in 4th place. They tied all three teams ahead of them so I'm just wondering if this team got on a roll and beat those three teams the next time they play them, what's at the end of the rainbow.
Just trying to understand the SCCL post season structure.

If you’ve only won 2 games out of 6 I don’t think you’ll be finding the end of the rainbow anytime soon.

Look at the standings. We play the 3 teams ahead of us again. If we win those three games, we will finish first assuming we take care of business with the teams below us.
The three teams ahead of us all tied us---meaning, they can beat us but we sure can beat them. Do the math. Also, since you are predicting our future, we did that with 3 starters and one rotation player missing 4 of those games.
Sure its a long shot but the point of my original post was not to debate how bad or good we are, but rather to inquire how SCCL post season works.
Thanks for the prediction genius

Thanks for the prediction genius To answer your original question. I don't think a lot of people know how it works since its first season was last year. I think the only person that truly knows is the coach or team manager of the one team that went to Nationals from SCCL. I like the league. I like the competition, but the communication from the SCCL head honcho (Sean I think is his name) is almost non-existent and the website is very High School project quality. There is supposedly a East vs. West division SCCL-P crossover event 10/19-10/20 in Atlanta but still no schedule, no info if it will be 2 games each day or one. Nothing at all communication wise which is horrible for families but really horrible for coaches that coach multiple teams and can't plan other games times that weekend because they don't know a schedule yet, and my bet is it won't be known till like a week maybe two out.

Sadly I don't think they are going to do a true promotion relegation thing. I think it will probably be club based only meaning that the club internally needs to move teams in and out to get the best competitive team in each division. What that means is in a situation where there are two almost equal teams one team is going to probably get screwed playing in SCCL-p when they could probably compete in SCCL as well as the other team that gets put there. I don't see the egos in the room at these clubs actually setting up a true promotion/relegation that might mean that one club may have 2 teams in SCCL-p and one club may have 2 teams in SCCL 1st division which is what could happen in a promotion/relegation situation. And if promotion/relegation doesn't actually get formalized ultimately SCCL will fail and I know personally I would rather have my son's team over in Classic I if there is no way they can move up from SCCL-P if they get 1st or 2nd place in their SCCL-p division.

Big clubs and mega mergers aren't going away anytime soon. You gotta take the good with the bad when it comes to that if you are in a big club.

Since there wont likely be team movement, there will be player movement. Which looks like it happened already between last year and this a bit.

Yeah for the Metro Atlanta players that can go from club to club with minimum travel difference yes. For the outer edge metro branches a lot of those kids have no good choices to switch.

I can’t imagine the absence of pro/rel means the death of SCCL. Whether you agree with it or not, at least they were up front about it. If you win SCCL 1, you don’t get pro to ECNL (or NPL for that matter). But I guarantee that the top players for a top SCCL 1 team one year will be playing for an ECNL team the next. And vice versa for the bench sitters on a bottom table ECNL team. You also get a better run League and more meaningful games than the R3PL it replaced.

And vice versa for the bench sitters on a bottom table ECNL team. You also get a better run League and more meaningful games than the R3PL it replaced. I disagree in some aspects where the SCCL or SCCL-p team are a branch location of the mega club, 90% of those players and parents are not going to put up with the hassle to get their kid to training 1-2 hours away 3-4x a week to be on a better team. I know this because there are several players on teams right now within our organization (including my son's team) that have been offered DA and NPL spots and declined them due to the logistics of getting them to training. I'm sure our club is not the only place this happens. The mega mergers were always a way to try to poach kids from branch locations to put on their better teams, and I see the reasoning for it, but what these big clubs didn't realize that the further away from the main location the branch is the less likely the player is going to accept a higher team position. As far as it being run better than R3PL. I wasn't involved in that league so I don't know how it was handled. I will tell you this, yes the competition so far is good in our age group and there are more games than in Classic soccer, but communication is terrible, and I think that is probably because the head of SCCL is really just a figure head and the Directors of the clubs actually run the league. Second off no it was not telegraphed to begin with that there would be no promotion/relegation. I knew there would never be pro/reg for an SCCL team to go to NPL or ECNL. That is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Pro/Reg between SCCL/SCCL-p which indeed was talked about before hand. The vibe I got from our directors and coaches was that pro/reg would be set up between SCCL and SCCL-p. The longer it takes for this to take place the more I think it was a lie. If they are eventually going to expand out to SCCL-3 and even SCCL-4 (as the rumor is) then they will have to mirror pro/reg like GA soccer does with the Classic/Athena area or it will indeed fail.

Sounds like your club was worried about losing players that didn’t make SCCL and were selling you magic beans to stay on a SCCL-P team that’s lower then Classic 1/Athena A team. I’ve stated this before but the clubs DO NOT want Pro/Rel so all the leagues they create will not have it.

We shall see if we can get the coach on board to actually fight for it, though not sure he has the power over what the club wants, since it is evident they want as few teams as possible registered in GA soccer. Well it wouldn't be the first time I have been lied to from club officials. That is part of the good with the bad stuff that parents like I have to deal with when there are not many other choices out there in our area.

The UFA 06 Red team is the Forsyth 2nd team and they play in the regular SCCL The UFA 06 Norcross Premier team plays in the SCCL-P and that's the top team at Norcross. They got demoted to P due to how they did in the season last year. Even though its a whole team, RS decided they should be moved down. If you are talking about the boys and looking at the standings I assume you are since the girls don't have a UFA at that age at any place near where you said in SCCL or SCCL-p.

Yes i was referring to the boys. And the decision to demote them was Roberto's.

That is part of the good with the bad stuff that parents like I have to deal with when there are not many other choices out there in our area. It was very clear from the beginning that were was no Pro/Rel within the two divisions, not sure why your coach/club told you different. There will be movement within clubs if a team is stronger than the other. SCCL is a club based league, not a team based league. As far as your coach fighting for your spot in Classic 1, I doubt he gets much choice, plus some of those teams moved to SCCL as well

So SCCL-P teams can't get promoted but players can if their club has SCCL-1?
So the SCCL-P East teams cant get promoted to SCCL? Unless the whole club gets promoted? Does another whole club then get relegated? How do you decide which entire club gets pro or rel? Who decides?

Does another whole club then get relegated? How do you decide which entire club gets pro or rel? Who decides? No...theres no promotion or relegation at all. Players don't get promoted, they can choose to change to another team the following year if they like. SCCL-P teams do not get promoted to SCCL. If a club wants to switch the teams between those 2 leagues because of how they're doing, that's up to the club. Vestavia & BUSA would have to do very bad to get relegated to SCCL-P...and I believe the boys side of VH won almost every division last year. AFU and Carolina FC would have to do very well to argue a case to get promoted as a club. Im not following any team closely to know how they're doing

For most clubs the player movement will likely mean trying out for the higher team if you're a star on the -P team...but that may mean going to another branch for practice (depending on how the club chooses which team at which branch).
UFA has shown in at least one instance that they will promote/relegate between branches. I believe they wanted to with the 05 girls also but Norcross ended up keeping the spot with the influx of players.
This is anecdotal, not a sales pitch: I believe that at AFU, should they get SCCL-1, will give -P to the south/HC branch, but I could see a situation like what UFA did with the 06 boys (there is a lot of egos to factor into such a decision also). Also, regarding practices, I know that some of the 2nd team coaches are cool with players practicing at the remote branch once a week or so as needed depending on distance. It they add an east branch this may help that also.

Im not following any team closely to know how they're doing CFC has only played one league game thus far against AFU, so it's hard to tell at this point. AFU's girls are doing very well, they boys much less so, particularly the 07s.

Yes, we tried out at Fowler for the 05 Sccl team based on the projections posted, which had Fowler as SCCL and Norcross as -P, then once the AFU girls went to Norcross, the projections changed, and daughter made the SCCLp team. Anecdotally also, our girls are in 3rd currently, with 2 starters still out, so both teams are doing great! Would love a rematch scrimmage, Honey badger! ps- your keeper is fantastic! I believe they wanted to with the 05 girls also but Norcross ended up keeping the spot with the influx of players. This is anecdotal, not a sales pitch: I believe that at AFU, should they get SCCL-1, will give -P to the south/HC branch, but I could see a situation like what UFA did with the 06 boys (there is a lot of egos to factor into such a decision also). Also, regarding practices, I know that some of the 2nd team coaches are cool with players practicing at the remote branch once a week or so as needed depending on distance. It they add an east branch this may help that also.

For most clubs the player movement will likely mean trying out for the higher team if you're a star on the -P team...but that may mean going to another branch for practice (depending on how the club chooses which team at which branch). UFA has shown in at least one instance that they will promote/relegate between branches. I believe they wanted to with the 05 girls also but Norcross ended up keeping the spot with the influx of players.
