gbd,

Part of the ECNL deal is that you also get into high level tournaments in places like Raleigh and Orlando, which are attended by hundreds of east coast and southeast college coaches. There's value there if the player is looking to play in college.

Granted, you do have a good shot at getting into these same tournaments by just playing R3PL......but it is what it is.



And herein lies the fault with soccer in the US. "The Decision" dictated by college opportunities -- what a joke!
