It's the start of the Fall 2019/Spring 2019 season. Use this thread for your posts regarding this soccer league.

Hey Page, amazing how you go to IMG and ditch YOUR team.
You made the girls who did it the right way feel bad. You are truly a POS.

Who are you talking about? And do you really think the individual is looking for a message from you on this board.

Bingo, gotcha

Who are you the BOTN police? Or maybe your Page either way STFU.

Any idea when the Boys ECNL schedule will be released?

Is this the younger player playing up on Villa? Psycho parents.

Player on Villa parents on Mars?

I kind of feel.bad for the kid, definitely a good player, but not nearly the player her parents make her out to be. Playing 2 years up and holding your own on a pretty strong ECNL team is no easy feat for a 13 year old, so kudos to her. But her parents act like she is AS from SSS who at 14 years old is a top producer on the U20 NT.

Two years up? Complete misrepresentation - fact is she is rising sophomore with late 2003 birthday and playing on age with Villa or now IMG. Get facts straight.

Is this the kid who played for fury 04 last fall and then went to ECNL in the winter/ spring?

Your wrong. She’s the 05 kid who brings drama wherever she goes.

Let's lay off the player/kid starting right NOW!!!!

It's not the kid. The parents are the problem.

More times than not that's how it goes. The kids usually get worse with garbage from learned behavior

Excellent point.

It is not the young lady at all. It is the interference from the parents on and off the field. They lead the charge in shunning the girls who did the right thing by letting the team know early they were leaving instead of pulling the rug out from under the team like the players parents who went to IMG. I am all for players going to better places that suit them. Not for the garbage these parents pulled. Shame on them.

Wait, so the arrogant twisted dad shunned his buddy the Elf at EM? They just got there! Time to turn the Page again!

Who or what is IMG?

the sports academy that is now a prep school for athletes with many divisions including tennis basketball and soccer. the basketball program is a national powerhouse with 5 star recruits going to major college programs and potentially the nba every year.

It originated as the Nick Bolletteri tennis academy in Bradenton, Florida. The first major tennis boarding school on a A small campus with dorms with dorms.

Andre Agassi and Jim Courier roomed together. He had numerous other pupils including Boris Becker, Hingis, Sharapova, etc. The williams sisters almost attended.

Nick was the founder and eventually sold it to the sports agency/ marketing firm IMG in 1987 which expanded it from tennis to other sports. IMG has a GDA club.

Boarding school in Florida for kids mainly interested in sports. About 60 to 70 grand annually.

Do they generally release fall and spring schedule at same time?

Not once, not twice, but three times.

Just look at their track record...they are perpetual hoppers and have been with 5 teams within 5 years. They come in, think everything and everyone should be centered around their player, are manipulative, and create factions among players/coaches by talking behind their backs. They are the one of the reasons many people leave teams in the first place, but then after a trail of team disruption, they end up leaving anyway. They only care about themselves and what anyone can do for them. To boot, they are loud and obnoxious on the sideline. Good riddens!

hi. i was looking at the ecnl website. am i reading it right that there is a u17, and then u19 age group but not a u18? is that just a few divisions or conferences or is that across the board?
so the u18 kids have to play up to u19?
