@ the start of the 2018-2019 season if you would have told me Concordes u17 Boys DA team would be the ONE team from all 3 clubs to advance to the semi finals of DA, I would have said your crazy and asked you if you wanted to buy a bridge.

I would have thought initially they would be better than UFA, to be honest. That's a really deep, talented roster. You look back at the last GA United team from 2016-17, CF has as many or more of the kids from that group as UFA does. Its tremendous that Concorde and UFA can put out rosters that can challenge and beat not only Atlanta United, but some of the best teams in the country. I said a while ago that AU becoming the destination club for players within 5-6 surrounding states would benefit both CF and UFA a ton, because the fact that AU is going to recruit from all over doesn't mean Atlanta-area kids are getting worse. You've got players in all 3 clubs that will go on and have great collegiate careers and even go beyond that. And you've got kids outside of those 3 clubs, playing NL, ECNL, and high school, that you can say the same thing about. It's great for the health of the game in GA and appears to be only trending upward. |

It all started with the 5 boys from UFA's team last year defecting to Concorde. It took them a long time to GEL, but it is still really ugly soccer at CF.

Yes, Boom ball at it's finest!!! My son and I watched the Chicago Fire game and it was similar to how they played throughout the year when we watched them. Not connecting passes and kicking it forward and fighting for the ball. I do have to say, their forwards play fast and furious.
It's been a long season for them and hopefully they can win the next two games. There are a couple of really good soccer players on that team and some outstanding young men.

CF U14 ECNL boys have not made it out of group. 3rd games are today and they lost head to head with group leader. Depending on tie breakers, I don’t even know if it’s possible for them to move on. It would be tough to swallow to only give up 1 goal in 3 games and not get out of group!

U14 CF girls platinum and U15 GSA girls both won quarterfinal games this morning and advance to ECNL semis. What happened to the SSA/Concorde ECNL team? I thought they were the better of the 2? Then the Concorde 04 team finished towards the bottom of the group and they were a top team all year? Did the play ups drop to 05? Congratulations to both teams advancing. Well earned as the competition is fierce |

Interesting post, because I've been paying attention to ECNL vs. NPL teams (on the boys side). U19B finals today, for instance, features an NPL team vs. and ECNL team.

I know the debate always rages on about stacking the alphabet leagues. From my experience over the past 6 years of watching my son’s team play across the country at the DA, ECNL, NPL level it really seems to come down to which areas have availability of each league. Some states do not have local DA, ECNL or NPL. Outside of DA, the EPNL playoff is a great way to essentially get the best club teams together. IMHO, the NPL and ECNL teams have competed equally in Rockford not because one league is “better”, but because these are the top club teams from geographically available leagues state by state.

Well said. I've always taken Chattanooga and FC Alliance in our region as good examples of where you can have a good NPL team that can beat a handful of the ECNL teams in the Southeast. With no DA or ECNL in either city (yes FC Alliance joining ECNL next year) NPL is best they can do and as a result they have had some really good teams in different age groups over time. I think the main difference between ECNL and NPL is that ECNL is club wide so you have coaches and players drawn to the club's inclusion in ECNL vs. a particular team qualifying for NPL in an age group. Yes, there are variances, sometimes big ones, between teams in ECNL clubs but on the whole they are going to attract better players across the entire club than a club that has a few NPL teams. |

Nerded out and looked at breakdown of ECNL vs NPL teams advancing out of group play (ON THE BOYS SIDE)...and which teams from our Region advanced.
U14 3 NPL vs 5 ECNL
U15 6 NPL vs 10 ECNL
U16 7 NPL vs 9 ECNL
U17 7 NPL vs 9 ECNL
So about 60% of the teams to advance were from ECNL clubs.
Disclaimer: could have missed an NPL team from FL as don't know all those clubs that well.
From the Region...advancing to knockout stage. All are ECNL clubs.
U14 - 0 teams advance
U15 - Atlanta Fire, CESA, Mirarmar
U16 - Florida Elite
U17 - GSA, Alabama FC/BUSA

Not sure, but it sounds like you are inter changing or confusing NPL with NL. NPL is like ECNL or DA or SCCL in that it is club wide and you do not qualify so most clubs should have NPL at all age groups. You are correct in saying that in some areas it is the best the area has to offer. Many clubs it is the highest level their teams can play. |

No way of confusing NPL with NL and no way is NPL is at the level of NL, ENCL or DA in the state of GA.. NL is just like any other alphabet league; compare the quality of team(s) within the regular league play and look at the team(s) continuous success rate in post season play. Any team can be a one hit wonder, however, consistency in team/individual success at times over looked |

U14 CF girls platinum and U15 GSA girls both won quarterfinal games this morning and advance to ECNL semis. What happened to the SSA/Concorde ECNL team? I thought they were the better of the 2? Then the Concorde 04 team finished towards the bottom of the group and they were a top team all year? Did the play ups drop to 05? Congratulations to both teams advancing. Well earned as the competition is fierce From what we’ve heard “SSA 05 ECNL” lost two of their top players. Based on the posts from CF their Platinum team didn’t bring down their players who play up and only had 2 subs the entire time. |
