Hey Kitten. First I didn't know you could put 20 girls on a team and not have drama. Thats good to hear. The clubs are fine. I think there has been some tough adjustments to the new ECNL league. It does require more travel and finances and has some parents worried because they do want to give their kids the best possible chance to play in college. The exposure ECNL brings is great. The larger cities are able to keep it a closer knit group than the smaller cities who are bringing in kids from farther away and they are not able to attend every practice and don't become as familiar with the team. In Greenville we may have 30-40 kids trying out for a team; where in Charlotte or Atlanta they will have twice that. I'm also sure there will always be complaints on whether your child should be on premier or challenge. Always a tough situation that can create issues.
