I agree with you DD. What would be a recognizable goal in an ECNL league. Most sports teams have a goal. If they achieve the goal they are recognized for it in the newspaper, on TV, at your high school, etc. Pro Football - Super Bowl, College football - Conference Championship, High School Soccer - State Championship, etc, etc. The only group I see getting recognized in public is the soccer club itself, like when they generate revenue for the county and local businesses, the players don't get recognized at all. You never see the youths in club soccer getting recognized in the Gvile News or on one of the local TV stations. When my child played HS soccer we we're in the paper every night during playoffs with pictures and a good write up, we we're even on the local tv stations a few times. Why don't soccer players get recognized like football, basketball, baseball? It just seems like a lot of hard work by the players and a heavy investment by the parents not to be recognized.
