looks pretty low level. According to the rankings app (for what it is worth), they would lose to 7-1 to Coppermine at the U14 level

Comparing with their current teams isn't particularly useful though. Once a club has GA they recruit a mostly whole new set of players pulling from mostly ECNL-RL teams but also neighboring GA and even ECNL teams. This is what happened here with VRSC and SYC last year. Most of the players on those teams in GA this year were not at the club pre-GA.

Especially VRSC, they just kicked all of their existing players that they told were "Family" to the side for the FCV girls that didn't follow BP to VDA. So yes, you can improve relatively quickly by going to GA.

GA concentrating on NoVA, SF, Seattle, Chicago with these adds. Perhaps be close to NWSL teams or potential NWSL expansion teams?

Noticing a pattern here.

So which clubs are left that have ECNL girls and MLSN boys? Seems like they will all go GA soon.

'Family' is BP's schtick. Nobody elses.

It’s rumored Oregon is getting an MLS team in the near future.

Alleycats
Football Academy NJ
Ginga FC
Indy Eleven???
Alexandria SC
PA Classics
Lou Fusz 2nd team?

If Alexandria gets GA, time for the entire club (boys and girls) to step up and be competitive at the top levels. What a great opportunity. Stick to your principles but level up.

What in the world?

SoMD is dropping the ball. Consolidate all those teams and get into the mix.

I've thought the whole GA/NWSL homegrown rule theory was mostly fantasy, but you're not wrong here.

Do we really think Alexandria is getting GA?

I don't understand why you'd think homegrown wouldn't happen on the women's side. Every other major league has it. If NWSL doesn't implement other leagues (USL) will and they'll be behind the curve.

MLSN and GA are working together. It's just a matter of time before MLSN attributes happen within GA.
