We’re still waiting for NWSL to acknowledge this partnership with GA and the coming league academies they must be in development forming by now.

But US Soccer did give GA full membership. That’s a fact. And it’s a start.

US Club soccer, the governing body of ECNL, already has the same membership.

The same membership that the Special Olympics also has also received.

This is not a partnership as much as it is a certificate of achievement.

US Soccer + GA means GA can register players themself they no longer need to go through USSSA. It also means that GA can register players for other groups. (Like DPL or whoever)

ECNL has to go through US Club Soccer to register players.

What this means is that MLS NWSL USMNT USWNT USL and now GA are all on the same level. ECNL is 1 tier lower.

Does this mean anything? Not specifically because in the end both GA and ECNL can register players. However if you look at more deeply that seaseme Street song comes to mind... "one of these kids is doing their own thing. One of these kids is not like the other". Also if NWSL was to partner with a girls league GA completely controls their future. If NWSL was to partner with ECNL US Club Soccer could hold ECNL hostage or force ECNL to pay huge fees to register players.

Can you name even one practical effect of this?

Umm… that if nwsl or usl decide they want to lock down talent, they are forced to link with GA versus ECNL.

Lock down talent? Can you explain what that means? The league minimum salary in the NWSL is 36k a year. They can not afford to subsidize youth soccer the way as MLS. Even if they could, most girls are aiming for college not NWSL or the YNT

BTW everyone knows that you're being obtuse on purpose and focusing on specific details to spread FUD.

It means exactly what they said.

In MLS Next players fall into a predefined pathway that ends at MLS or College. What this means is that most talent in America will end up playing in MLS.

NWSL needs to set up something similar to make sure talent funnels to them. (Not USL or whatever else)

with what money? The academies that give MLS Next legitimacy cost the host clubs money. NWSL is barley solvent. I'm guessing the NWSL is perfectly fine with the cost of player development being subsidized by youth clubs and colleges.

This is a troll everyone. He's making the same comments on TS.

New $240 million TV deal should help, and a step in the right direction for women's soccer development irregardless of what league it is. ECNL and GA are both necessary to avoid a monoply, congrats GA this a move. Power move? Only time will tell, but this all needs 5-10 years to settle before any leagues are being disbanded, thats just silly

Are you not understanding that this will open a pathway to COLLEGE and NWSL. What are you not understanding

The pathway is you get scouted and recruited by college coaches. If you are outstanding, you go straight to the draft. If not, then you preform well enough in college to get drafted. How does that change? Does the ACC have to set aside a certain number of spots for GA girls?

You obviously only understand the girls side.

With MLSn you have Acadamy teams in youth age groups. The age groups progress into the professional team. This is what's missing on the girls side. Girls need to go from Youth to Pro or college to Pro. There's nothing in between that bridges the development of promising talent from amateur to pro.
