ECNL Promotions - SC?

[Anonymous]

Just saw the ECNL promoted a club in South Carolina. Please tell me that Mid-Atlantic isn’t getting them - that’s a long drive.

The ECNL Girls is proud to announce three clubs have been promoted from the ECNL Regional League Girls to ECNL Girls for the 2026-27 season in the initial round of membership promotions. Team Boca will be promoted into the Florida Conference, Lonestar SC into the Texas Conference, and South Carolina Surf into the Mid-Atlantic Conference beginning this fall.

Many clubs are getting promoted this year. The boys side let in over 20 last year and I’ve heard 10-12 for the girls side this year. 3 today and there’s 3 more I know of personally not announced so looking to be true.

So as a GA parernt is it my manditory responsibility to say that the sky is falling because of how much ECNL is diluting their brand?

ECNL is all in on dilution.

The best girl players in the country are playing in MLS Next right now against entire teams of boys. I think yours will be alright but definitely cry about made up issues.

No one worries about girls who choose to play in boys leagues. They are strong and they choose to take on any incremental risk. People worry about girls who do not choose to take on that risk who are forced to play against men, though I suppose they could sit out that game.

Take your trans-phobia elsewhere, troll.

Are you saying that MLSN boys can put on a wig and play against girls?

Ugh. It was bad enough when we had to go to Greenville & Columbia. Charleston? WTH? Come on. Move the Columbia team back to the MA and send Charleston Surf to the SE. Glad it's our last year of this stuff coming up.

Please pay for the season ahead of time. Please let your boss know that you will be missing work to drive to youth soccer games. Please stay at this hotel. Please arrive one hour early for the warm ups while your kids coach is coaching another game. Please drive 7+ hours for an 80 minute soccer game. Please accept that we could only put your kid in for half or a half because if we don’t win the coach looks bad. Please ignore all the good teams that are within a one hour drive. Please keep your negative thoughts to yourself. Please don’t complain to coaches. No one is forcing you to be here. This is the only way.

Laughs in Colorado.

A few years ago we were in the same region as Seattle. That would be a 20 hour drive. Now we're in the Texas conference which is only slightly better.

Denver and Atlanta like youth soccer fortresses of solitude.
