I hope with COVID and travel restrictions somehow the clubs are able to make that happen now that the draconian DA rules are gone.

Agreed. Would be nice for the loyalist parents to give up the fighting and see the benefits of this kind of model.

Man, this thread makes me glad I don't have to deal with girls soccer parents. People are so crazy and insecure. Go play where you feel comfortable and stop bringing down someone else for their decisions. I thought the boys were bad, but jesus.

I'd love to see a champions style league in the DMV where the top 2 from their respective divisions (ECNL/GAL/CCL, EDP, etc etc) play each other in a champions league style format. I think that would settle a lot.

Parents of current DA clubs joining GA - let’s do a simple survey. Don’t post your age group or club. Just say if you plan to “stay” or “go” try ECNL.

There are local showcases and tournaments open to all teams.

Maybe some of you should read other state boards. Perhaps, the NJ and NY boards

I think it’s fantastic to hear ECNL parents in this area talk about being elite. There are 3-4 good teams in this area out of more than 20 in ecnl. Across all age groups. Think about this. Penn Fusion was terrible as part of the DA but switch to ECNL and now voila they’re awesome. VDA bottom of GDA standings and now middle of the pack in MA ecnl and they’re awesome. Same players same coaches but in ecnl everyone is awesome.

All these local ecnl teams couldn’t finish in top half of their division last year but now with NC teams they will? Come on. The players on these local ecnl rosters did not get better because the GDA folded. Development and talent do not work that way. The GA teams that stay together will remain at the level hey were before just like the ecnl teams. And according to Local ecnl parents, their rosters wouldn’t be taken over by GDA players so I guess middle to bottom of division is the ceiling for these teams going forward.

Ignorance is incredible.

Try breathing while you type. I think the lack of oxygen has you posting things that don't make sense.

So PENN was no good? Lol didn’t they beat FCV04 by 3-0. So strange! Your narrative is deafening just keep on telling people that FCV is God and every other player and club in the DMV is S*** someone is bound to believe you if you keep on saying it enough. When soccer starts why doesn’t the GAL go ahead and scrimmage the local ECNL clubs? I am sure my DD club would be all for that. Put your money where your mouth is.

At the very least the fire sale on DA players has ended. It does look like, for the most part teams all around will remain relatively unchanged. There will be some movement but mostly based on individual reasons now, similar as in the past.

I agree with the sentiment of the PP but the Penn Fusion take is a bit to far.
