hell that's one of the reasons we had to wait a year! (also all the league realignments)

I wonder who is going to announce a plan first or will we still be in this standoff in march?

GA will announce in a few weeks at most.

I know a lot of people here are anxious for plans but as far as I can see it theres just nothing to say. US Club said it would be 9/1 in 26-27, thats a long way from now.

I think ecnl is pretty straightforward - 9/1 as of 26/27. There may be exceptions like GY for showcases and allowing trapped players to play down during high school season for 8th graders. I don’t think anything surprising will come from them… but I could be wrong.

Still waiting for information from GA and mlsnext. I’m also curious if futsal will change. No real reason for them to change other than everyone else is. A lot of club teams play futsal together in the winter. Will be interesting to see what happens.

If it was straight forward they would have no problem saying that. My buddy is an ECNL director on girls side for large ECNL club in California. He said after the announcement was made he emailed asking about the change and what the plans are and got a response that ECNL “would assists” he sent a follow up email as recent as last week asking for clarification for next year and 26/27.
No response.

He thinks something could be coming down the pipeline because ECNL is usually quick to respond to his questions. He’s not sure if ECNL/GA are in some sort of stand off of who will announce what first like a game of poker.

That’s interesting. I had assumed they weren’t yet acknowledging it because it is still 24/25 and they don’t want to take away from this season and the next. Could be that they don’t want to announce anything and have GA develop a better plan.

Have GA develop a better plan for what? Changing registration dates? Or waivers or whatever?

That’s not true only a subset of leagues like USYS in Southern California. ECNL tryouts going on for clubs now getting rosters ready for nationals.

It goes the other way as well. All ECNL has confirmed is 9/1. They could easily add things that like waivers or whatever.

GA waiting the decision out is/was a smart play.

I have a 2012 Q4, the only on her next year u14 ECNL team. I asked the coach of the 2013 team if there were any plans for trapped players to train with their post age change team, and he said nope, haven’t even thought about that yet. All of our age groups are preparing for San Diego so I’m guessing that’s the focus.

A 2012 isn't trapped this coming season. The fall 2011s are trapped.

MLSN also not saying anything about next year’s rules for MLSN 1 or 2.

My club coach is waiting to find out if mlsn2 will bioband next year so he can bring down some small 2011s to the 12 team. He thinks it will happen.

Clubs will not start shifting until it’s time to shift. Until then it’s business as usual.

ECNL has not confirmed anything. Only thing they have confirmed is US club is probably going 9/1 I don’t think they’ve talked about it since it’s been official.

Ah yes I forgot that ECNL and US Club are completely different
