I am not an attorney so speculating here...states cannot regulate interstate commerce (that is left up to the federal government), they can only...
In the Midwest the DA teams (boys and girls) played about 25-30 games during the year. One additional requirement is that the teams all had to...
The boys and girls DA could play 2 games in a weekend. The restriction was that the games had to kick-off at least 18 hours apart. So if a U19...
Kansas used to be in the Frontier Division. They must have decided that travel in the Midwest conference made more sense to them. Also, it looks...
So if this is true and you have an A level player where should they go play? Maybe the kids are deciding because of the competition,...
3 years ago the WNT played FC Dallas U15 DA and lost 5-2. Red Stars scrimmaged the Sockers U14’s 2 or 3 years ago and tied. So it depends what...
I don't know what Sockers is selling but I would bet most of the clubs in the new GA will sell a 10 month season. I think they have to. With 2...
I agree it is a good set of clubs. I know a lot here don’t want another DA-like league. But it was the best development platform in the country...
Which ranking sites are you talking about? I just looked at Top Drawer and every team from U14-U18 was DA or ECNL except for 2. So of 125 teams...
So the DPL is proposing a new "Girls Academy League" as their top division. With changes to substitution rules and allowing high school play...
[ATTACH] This is what was sent to the GDA Mid America. This makes sense. Except for Salvo, adding these clubs to ECNL or MRL would significantly...
OL Reign (formerly Reign FC) put out a communication to their academy players on Saturday... "We shared the rumor with Miriam Hickey, who is the...
Well this forum sure went down hill fast. Coach Rudy, thank you for your insight and professionalism. There were thoughtful opinions, not...
Driven, I will comment here as I have lived through it with my kids. I am not sure if your comments are from experience or just assumptions based...
Wow, there was a lot to catch up on here. Very good discussions. But the thing is, the ECNL did (and does) need to be fixed. The ECNL had a...
I don’t know much about this organization but they have published their high school All-American list. 3 girls from IL and 4 boys from IL. Seems...
I agree with the above comments. Eclipse will do what it takes in the ECNL to eliminate competition on the girls side. The boys ECNL can’t touch...
They actually did have this program but only on the boys side. It is called Top Talent and was (and believe still is) designed for boys who don’t...
There are 3 different soccer competition platforms here. 1. US Soccer: the governing body and runs the Development Academy. If you are a Part...
Eclipse doesn't develop soccer skills. They recruit, practice 2x per week, then see what happens on the field. You are on your own for...
There is a 6 part series made this year by Prime Video called This Is Football. It is pretty good. It's not a movie but explores the sports...
4 of the Sockers girls from the clip on the Kelly Clarkson Show also played a small field competition during halftime of the US WNT game vs South...
Yep I agree. Thinking about 2019 grads that I know 13% is low. Could be in the 25-30% range. And all of this will change with the new NCAA...
The stats were off but this is mostly correct. However, prospective student athletes (PSA) can go on campus prior to Junior year but can have no...
The stats I found for girls commitments... 9th or earlier: 3% 10th: 29% 11th: 55% 12th: 13% Based on what I have seen in the Chicago area this...
