Re: ecnl contract
You do not need an ECNL release to sign for a LHGCL team. ECNL is US Club and LHGCL is US Youth.Silva wrote:If your DD is on an ECNL team, gets no playing time, is it possible to get a release from ECNL and find another team, Lake Highlands?

Re: ecnl contract
It is evident, as was mentioned so many times on this forum, that ECNL only benefits 11-14 girls. We knew this going into it but our DD wanted to do this. If you are not on the top 11-14 you end up just footing the bill and sit on the bench. Rather see our DD play than ride the bench. Even when some starters aren't performing, they don't get pulled off.

Re: ecnl contract
Correct. For all intents and purposes, your DD is a free agent and can sign with any USYS (i.e. LHGCL, PPL, APL, etc.) team with a roster spot available.Silva wrote:so she can get onto any Lake highlands team as long as they have room?

You are incorrect. I speak from experience. :-) Unless the rules have changed in the last two years....keep22 wrote:you sure about free agent with any team? unless you got a full release wouldn't you have to sign with a team within the same club as the ECNL club you are currently in? For example, you cannot play with Sting ECNL and then sign with Texans in any league...However, I think you can go with a non ECNL club and play any league but those players are rostered as discovery players when they signed. Not sure about the rules changing player roster classification.
Let us know...good luck!

That used to be the rule, but its been somewhat relaxed/ignored the last year or two. I never thought the rule made much sense.Itsme wrote:You are incorrect.

Re: ecnl contract
1 of 26 Girls on the roster for FC Dallas 00. I have a feeling that #15 through #26 on the depth chart are not happy with the playing time at all. That is 11 girls that could have had a great season in LHGCL. I sure hope they are dual rostered with FC Blue.clueless wrote:Where were you at the beginning of the season?

Re: ecnl contract
I know the ecnl team doesn't get the spot back... and a player can't get go to another ecnl team, but can an ecnl-rostered player move to a LH team regardless of club's ecnl status?ballhead wrote:That used to be the rule, but its been somewhat relaxed/ignored the last year or two.

Re: ecnl contract
USYS has no relationship to ECNL (US Club Soccer). If your dd is not rostered on a USYS team, then she's a free agent available to any LHGCL team.Packrabbit wrote:I know the ecnl team doesn't get the spot back... and a player can't get go to another ecnl team, but can an ecnl-rostered player move to a LH team regardless of club's ecnl status?ballhead wrote:That used to be the rule, but its been somewhat relaxed/ignored the last year or two.

Sting and Solar also have similar arrangements. *shrug*LoveForSoccer wrote:I can tell you that there are 18 main players rostered on the FC Dallas 2000 team (from my understanding like other teams). The other 8 are dual rostered and on Lake Highland teams. They attend practice time to time to try and develop additional players for ECNL program.
