Dog, you might have answers to these two questions. Why doesn't the top 2 teams in R3PL u18 girls(Boca & Pontre Vedre) not play in ECNL. Those 2 teams are loaded with top D1 recruits and it doesn't seem like they think the need to play in ECNL for college exposure.
Also the top u18 girls team from CASL this year has taken a beating compared to years past. They always used to be one of the top teams in u18 R3PL. This could be a rumor, but I was told CASL told the girls that they couldn't compete in high school soccer anymore because they would have ECNL commitments, and some of their players told CASL to go jump in the lake. Is this true?



Many of the best Florida club teams, located in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties, do not even compete in R3PL because of the great travel distance and expense associated with it. There are also many good teams in Florida's Gold Coast so they feel they can get a decent match every week without heading so far north.

I don't think we have that luxury in South Carolina.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
