Good players on the Roswell team will leave for higher level soccer. Roswell will finish mid pack. Just a prediction. Not sure if this applies to the 05 or 06 girls teams. They seem to have stayed together for a long time and I am not sure if even a few leave or even looked. But I could be wrong or just falling for the "We are happy" line while a quiet look elsewhere occurs. They did well in Piedmont (but lets all be honest that the league top to bottom is not what it used to be with all of the changes in the last 3-4 years). I have heard from many players that they like their coach, like their teammates and have a TON of field space at practice. |

I’m saving this thread to resend in May just for the person who said 05 girls will cakewalk through SCCL.
I agree they are one of a few who can win it. But cakewalk is funny

I think both the 06, and 05 Roswell teams are like families that have been playing together under those excellent coaches for several years. I don’t predict many leaving. I think both will be in the top 3 of their brackets.
The new blood with UFA 05 SCCL-C is impressive, and The Force is strong with their new coach. Again, top 3.
The former Tophat 05 SCCL Premier team is likely to struggle in SCCL-C this year.
From the sounds of it, GSA teams have had lots of movement. No idea if their 05 team has lost 2, or 3 key players. Makes them a solid sh-maybe to me.

Not sure who said Roswell would cakewalk though, but that SCCL 05 Girls division is going to be a tough to run through for any club, the top half seems to be very good.

I’m truly shocked that Roswell parks and rec dept didn’t shut down the move to SCCL. I don’t know how Mike pulled that off but I give the man credit.

But cakewalk is funny Are you still saving this thread? Why yes I am. Even though we are no longer in SCCL. Of course you wouldn't point out the fact that I said that I agree Roswell could win SCCL. I only said it won't be a cake walk. Obviously something personally had affected your position somewhere at a US Club club:) |

This will prove to be a very smart move if the big clubs can get an ECRL started next year; it would move them into the ECNL sphere/pyramid. Not a merger, but if 2-3 of those clubs can form an alliance much like Alabama FC, they could likely effectively lobby for an ECRL and (in the future) an ECNL spot.

ECRL would already be here if they had wanted to. Maybe next year -if they want-, or a better plan nobody else sees. One of those big clubs plans light years ahead of everyone else to stay ahead of everyone else, whether is club or league. Club or league, they lead. The other big boys ride with them to keep up, and their relative advantage over everyone else will continue. All the rest of the clubs can do is try to keep up with the big boys but they're at least one level below. This will continue until the great leader who never sleeps moves on. I'll call it for what it is. Follow Concorde in everything they've ever done since becoming Concorde Fire on and off the field. Their power and ability to control their market with just the necessary balance to make it work, has been impressive. |

All it'll take is ONE current SCCL club to apply and join the Carolinas ECRL and the dominoes will all fall in the right direction.

I wouldn’t be surprised if ECNL just announced they were starting an ECRL league for GA/AL/MS/TN and opened it to all clubs to apply. ECNL could careless about SCCL so why not.

Yeah, seriously, if you can get your 2nd team into ECRL, SCCL-club league is nearly pointless. Its could still function and help the bigger clubs recruit from other clubs in the SCCL-P ranks, but wouldn't be quite as strong.

I agree with soccermom and clearly she’s more connected than me. But I’ve heard recent info that lends credence to that tease of a statement. It’s coming, along with additional changes for 2021 that’ll surprise many!
IMO, it’ll be a couple SCCL-C strongholds shifting along with TH’s DPL teams. There’s your ECRL in GA, add a handful of competitive clubs throughout the region rounds out the new SE.. Of course for the latter piece to happen, an olive branch will be extended to TH, moving one of the (2) GAL teams over to ECNL. Putting them in a competitive position and leverage into both leagues. Frankly I think the olive branch has already been extended for next year, just giving GAL time to stabilize as a competitive option as promised. DPL disappears as it should. Lavers has been on record, as saying there’s room for both leagues and crossover play in the future. Again just my educated hypothesis not facts but the pieces are in place.

Remind me again who sits on the ECNL Board from the SE conference? I submit at least one member of ECNL’s board does care about SCCL, because his club was a founding member. |

Not sure how much support one club would get if it told its parents their team was now going to be playing all their games in the Carolinas. |

Probably the same as NTH parents was when joining GAL and having travel all to FL and NC. Seems to have worked for them so far. |

No idea, but I’m guessing the ECNL board already decided about a ECRL for the GA and surrounding states, and that one vote was probably in favor of it. |

It’s CC from GSA. So to say that ECNL could careless about SCCL is not wholly accurate. Grammatically too. I think you meant to say ECNL could NOT care less.

Also I think the TH patents moving from GDA to GAL have a certain understanding and maybe even desire for some out of state travel.
If Concorde left SCCL to join Carolina ECRL for example, I don’t think the parents would be so amenable to all the travel.

I would agree with that only on the basis that Concorde already has 2 ECNL teams.
My point is that if ONE club, lets say UFA who is already in a regional league, chose to abandon NPL in favor of applying to Carolinas ECRL, how many other clubs would jump at the chance also? Then it would quickly get on the radar of the ATL clubs, FC Alliance, BUSA, etc. Especially former NL SCCL clubs like Roswell who were in a travel league previously.
