Quote: Maybe the problem is the Club. If ECNL is having events year round (correct me if i am wrong) then why is the Club so insistant that the players not miss any of these events? There should be enough events occurring that missing one (which occurs in a particular High School season) is not a big deal.
I only have knowlege of how one Clubs thinks (here in the Upstate), it's "life or death" if you miss this ECNL event.
According to the ECNL website, "Each ECNL member club must participate in three of the five regular season events listed below."
2010-11 ECNL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: ECNL Regular-Season Event #1 Aug. 27-29, 2010 Temecula, Calif. ECNL Regular-Season Event #2 Dec. 3-5, 2010 Raleigh, N.C. ECNL Regular-Season Event #3 Dec. 27-29, 2010 Sanford, Fla. ECNL Regular-Season Event #4 March 4-6, 2011 San Antonio, Texas ECNL Regular-Season Event #5 May 28-30, 2011 Zarephath, N.J. ECNL National Championship July 14-16, 2011 TBD
So they definitely could choose not to participate in the one event that conflicts with the SC high school season.
End of May conflicts with final exams.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
