Nothing updated on their website yet... I don’t think they will update the scores. They didn’t last year either. |

Having to fly to a preseason showcase should be illegal.
Leagues shouldn’t even allow it.

NTH-NASA 2007 ECNL boys won both games. 2-0 over Cesa U19s and 2-1 over Charlotte Soccer Academy U17 ECNL. Decent start with new coach but long way to go.

Having to fly to a preseason showcase should be illegal. Leagues shouldn’t even allow it. The only good thing about it was that they played three clubs that were GA clubs so it is new competition. But it seems like the CESA friendlies could have provided the same basic thing if CESA just worked to make sure clubs don’t play other clubs in their league/conference. Not always easy to do though. |

A. Pretty sure CESA didn’t have teams play teams from same conference
B. It’s a pre season friendly. Win/lose it doesn’t mean much. This is for coaches to see what they are working with in a non inner club scrimmage. Try players in different places and different formations. Use it as a development building block or to provide a benchmark.
Stop acting like these are more than what they are.

Until ECRL teams can avoid being beat by SSCL - P1 and C teams, I would say the whole thing is a big pryamid scam you guys have bought into. |

If we were to identify the specific teams, what benefit would that provide? Maybe some ECRL clubs aren’t as deep at certain age groups? What I’ve generally found is that most ECRL teams will beat SCCL-C and P1. But because there are some ECRL who can’t that means the whole thing is a sham? |

I mean, my kid's team was the only ENCL-R team and went 1-1-1 in three games at an ECNL showcase last season. The loss was 1-0. Just depends on the area and quality of depth in some places. The SC/TN teams were weak. We traveled 4-5 hours to beat them 8-0. Would have been better to get to play their ECNL teams, but unfortunately that's not how this works.

I didn't communicate very well, it is my fault. My point was less about ECRL teams losing to teams in lower levels, or ECNL teams losing to teams in lower levels, or MLS/NAL teams lowing to lower levels. It point is more about it being a closed system. There is no room for outside competition. True for MLS Next also and ECNL. The league names and closed system is a way to get you to pay extra money and travel around the country for no reason. As someone else pointed out, there are clubs from other states that consistently finish bottom of the table, but there are also teams relegated to lower levels in Atlanta because of how this thing is set up. If it were just an open system with level 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc. then there would be no reason to charge you more money, travel to CESA, teams could move freely, etc. and play locally. |

That’s why it will never happen ($$$$$). But it’s nice to dream.

So any update on how the GA teams did vs the ECNL teams they played? I know UFA 2011 went 3-0 on the weekend. They beat Lonestar 2-0, I think Nationals 4-0 and Colorado Rush was 7-0 But like another poster said they are preseason and you don’t know how much other teams were trying to work out kinks, trying people at new positions, etc. UFA’s team has mostly the same kids for 3+ years running. That team is VERY STRONG. I will be excited to see how they do. PS I don’t have a kid on this team but do know a lot of the kids/parents on this team so by info is second hand. |
