DFW doesnt have 9 teams of top players. 6 or more teams equals more watered down me.
I don’t even see NTX six teams deep in talent. Someone will take a huge hit. I’m pretty sure if ECNL kicks the DA clubs out you will see a DA2 program started.

Re: LP U14 ECNL?
OMG! Will you please stop with the DA2 talk. You are the only person on here that keeps perpetuating that idea. There is not going to be a DA2 here in NTX. The only place I have even heard that phrase mentioned is on the SoCal forum. That out there is an entirely different beast and could support that concept. If you are refering to the pilot teams at FCD and Solar, then call them what they are.Zizou wrote:NoSpinZone wrote:My opinion for what its worth (not much), 5 ecnl was too many. Now w DA who knows.

IF the Big 3 are asked/decide to leave ECNL, what is most likely to happen to those players?

Oh, I'm sure their clubs are already deciding that sales pitch.
My guess - back to LH or PPL.

Those that say no thanks will find another team, club. Whether it be ECNL or Classic. Regardless of what happens there will still be an ECNL presence in NTX.
That's a lot of players to scatter. Some might land ECNL spots, but not the majority. Looks like LH might get some stronger players back.

Lots of players looking for teams next year.

The current number of ECNL clubs in NTX will not be increasing or staying the same... it will be shrinking.
Thats confirmed at one club at least for sure...
Bottom line... lots of kids looking for teams, less rosters to me means stronger teams... thats good for NTX.

If the DA clubs aren't in ECNL, expect them to expand the "Pilot" teams in the even year age groups and put together a shadow league to DA in those age groups, call it Pilot, DA2, DPL, whatever. They'll essentially have a #1 team in each singular age year following DA practice guidelines.
Some of the kids playing ECNL at the DA clubs this year might bolt to Sting or D'Feeters. The rest will end up LH or Champions League, where they are probably best served anyways.
The money train and player train will keep on a-rollin'.

The big 3 would come up with some fancy new name for the DA 'B' team to keep them due to $$'s. Sell dumb parents on the dream of being just so close to the DA team they covet. Same parents be mad the next year when someone else comes in to take that DA spot and lil Mia is still on the 'B' team being sold the same dream. When in reality it's all about $$$$$'s and most of the lil Mia's on the B team wont be making the DA team. Like dorkfish to a corndog.

Will the Big 3 lose Champions League if they drop or are dropped from ECNL?

I'd be surprised, but I've also learned to never say never when it comes to these things.
There's mutual benefit to LH, US Club, and the DA clubs to keep their 2nd/3rd tier teams in Champions League. If Champions League goes by the wayside, then those teams will migrate back to LH & USYSA PL.
That kind of regional play within TX/OK, along with the various non-DA, non-ECNL showcases like Texas Cup, DIGC, FC Dallas, Lonestar, etc. make sense from a college recruiting standpoint for those 2nd/3rd tier teams.
