Does anyone know when they may release some sort of schedule for the ECNL/ECRL season for the Southwest Conference?

Have you looked at the website lately? There are games and schedules posted.Does anyone know when they may release some sort of schedule for the ECNL/ECRL season for the Southwest Conference?
Yes, but they are not happening or the team played a different team. Playing is fresh in So Cal, so I'm sure it's going to be a while before we all get the hang of this again.Have you looked at the website lately? There are games and schedules posted.
Gotcha. Our Club gave us a schedule which is now up in the ECNL/RL site but told us it could change depending on County guidance. We played the first 2 this weekend.Yes, but they are not happening or the team played a different team.

Definitely seeing a lot of accurate scores / updates from what I'm getting 2nd hand from friends on these teams. It's getting there, slowly but surely.Gotcha.

Since we are currently still in ECRL, I’m learning the some ECNL Clubs don’t have ECRL teams at every age group (ie 2006). Kind of a bummer!Definitely seeing a lot of accurate scores / updates from what I'm getting 2nd hand from friends on these teams. It's getting there, slowly but surely.
I think over time you will see the ECNL clubs expand their age groups who are in ecRl.Since we are currently still in ECRL, I’m learning the some ECNL Clubs don’t have ECRL teams at every age group (ie 2006). Kind of a bummer!

Like Rising and Az Arsenal right? One has only older RL teams one only younger RL teams?I think over time you will see the ECNL clubs expand their age groups who are in ecRl.
Them too? I was referring to a SoCal team. Just find it hard to believe that they can’t field two teams at all the age groups.Like Rising and Az Arsenal right? One has only older RL teams one only younger RL teams?
It’s simple. Parents are recognizing that it’s not worth paying so much to be on a reserve team. Family priorities and youth interest have changed since the pandemic hit.Them too? I was referring to a SoCal team. Just find it hard to believe that they can’t field two teams at all the age groups.
The population in AZ doesn't support fielding 2 competitive letter league teams plus a competitive state league team. Clubs will still support the state soccer association, and they should. Parent's don't want to pay the extra dinero to travel to CA to get their pants blown off. In some(some would argue most) cases, the state league teams are better than the letter league B teams (DPL/ECRL).Them too? I was referring to a SoCal team.

I would add that pre-pandemic, supplemental leagues like DPL/ECRL weren't really catching on in AZ. If not on the "A" team, why travel to CA. Your talent runs much deeper than ours due to population.It’s simple. Parents are recognizing that it’s not worth paying so much to be on a reserve team.

Interesting perspective but are you sure it is reality in So Cal? I am not aware of any players who have quit or lowered their level of play due to the pandemic and I have been involved in youth soccer here for years.It’s simple.

I agree with your point about 'why travel to Cal if not the "A" team. I would not do the ECRL either if I was the AZ clubs. For California ECNL clubs it makes tons of sense though.I would add that pre-pandemic, supplemental leagues like DPL/ECRL weren't really catching on in AZ. If not on the "A" team, why travel to CA.

Quickly becomes obvious that these add-ons are money making ventures.
