High School Seasons GA vs ECNL?

[Anonymous]

I have heard on this forum and other places that the reason that VA-MD arent the same ENCL conference, it is because their high school seasons are split. GA doesn't seem to worry about this. How do they schedule their high school age games with different seasons in NJ/PA/VA/MD? With the GA expansion do we think a realignment to VA/NC and MD/NJ is soon to follow? Kid not yet at high school age, but will certainly come into play in short order.

Conference being realigned to match school seasons. Will be announced in summer. Similar to how ECNL breaks down conference.

So if a GA team claims no overnights, there might be an asterisk for an NC team or two? No judgment, playing at the top team level is going to involve some travel. Do I wish MD and VA would handshake and make the same soccer seasons? 100%

No different then how ECNL is broken up now. Of course there is going to be travel. Not understanding your comment?

No overnights? In GA or ECNL? That’s a lie. I’ve seen it in a certain club’s website. I’m sure they will rebrand now and talk about all of the amazing things that come with overnight travel. Whatever they’re doing, it’s the best!

One VA GA club definitely espouses the benefits of saving money on overnights for GA league games.

But now the overnight trips will be a major benefit! Whatever fits the narrative!

They used to say that ECNL was the best and that every player should join Virginia Union. Then they got into the GA and told everybody that ECNL isn’t good and that the GA is the best. Last year overnight travel was bad. This year, overnight travel will be the best.

I cannot wait to hear about what’s next!

NC teams have already been told the new conference in GA will be NC/VA. 12 teams with 4 in NC (2 Raleigh/2 Charlotte). Likely
both weekend trips with one game Sat; one game Sunday.

The reason a VA/MD conference is bad is you have to shoehorn all the cross state games in a tiny window in the winter when neither is is HS season.

Also since all age groups in both GA and ECNL play the same place the same day, it doesn’t really matter if your kids in high school or not you’ll still have the same travel at U13 and U14.

Will it be an 11 game season? Meaning you play each team once and only go to Raleigh or Charlotte?
