Change is coming either way

NJ Match Fit Surf nee Academy announced a potential promotional leave for NA ECNL division. It would likely be a Maryland club or two would get a stab at that with a handful of NJ and EPA teams.

it will be a promotion league with PDA South MFA new RL and there are two GA teams from MD joining the Promotion league with two other teams in the RL expansion league

Yawn

Baltimore armour and Baltimore Celtic …

What is this? Armour has MLSN doubtful they would give that up for ECNL. Celtic makes sense if Pipeline goes GA, those two will just switch badges. Celtic would be the winners there.

Has any Bethesda ECNL girls parent communicated with club leadership in the past week to confirm whether they are remaining in ECNL or shifting to GA?

[Anonymous]

There is no information from Bethesda. Signed, a parent.

[Anonymous]

Famous last words. Signed, a McLean parent, a NVA parent

[Anonymous]

per BSC admin from last week - no GA

[Anonymous]

So new MoCo ECNL club it is! BSC haters gonna be lighting up the streets tonight. May ID sessions loading for what location though MoCo or Baltimore area…? Futbolldamus time to float over can you consecrate any of this!

Heard Coppermine, Celtic, and potentially STA out of NJ.
I think they are targeting GA teams with ECNL boys to combat MLSN/ECNL teams leaving

ECNL had the chance to wipe out GA
By bringing in girls GA clubs with boys ECNL. That train may have passed.

TopHat, SC Surf, STA, HTX to start…

Nothing is forever. Honestly, not sure which way this will go.

If I’m STA I’m on the phone with MLSN to get in immediately. Their boys are definitely qualified for MLSN and they still maintain a very good girls program in GA that qualify for Champions Cup routinely.

PDA Blue and MFA are both relatively close and PDA Blue will always pull top players on reputation. STA would rarely qualify for nationals out of current ECNL NA division.

Depending upon Bethesda, PDA, FC Delco decisions in future years and pressure from combatting leagues ECNL NA is in trouble.

Agreed. At this point it would be stupid for a champions cup club or even a non-playoff club to leave GA. If you aren’t having success in GA, 9x out of 10 you won’t in ECNL either

Well, they will be the teams relegated. Who will be promoted in their stead?
