Are you talking about Wenatchee FC?

Sounds like a double boom.

What is going to happen with the ecnl mid-Atlantic? Lose NVA, two teams CISC, add one in Asheville? Adding anymore?
Will HS MA teams have less games or play teams twice?

There will still be 13 teams after the net loss of 2, so don't see teams playing each other twice. The division might go from 8 playoff spots to 7 and some clubs will probably add another ECNL event or showcase to pick up more matches, but that's probably it.

When is this mid atlanctic realignment going to be done for GA? Curious on if drive gets better or worse. Are we driving south vs north etc...

Does anyone know a girl actually by choice moving from an ECNL team to a GA team for next year (other than those staying at NVA with the transition?) What about vice versa?

CISC girls will be fine making the switch to GA. Their 08/09/10 all qualified for San Diego at some level which puts them in front of scouts leading into the next season when GA begins.

There's 3 on my daughters GA (socal) team that switched from ECNL. One started out playing with our club. Switched to an ECNL club for 2 seasons. Then came back to our GA club again. The other 2 were double dipping in both leagues at different times but ultimately chose GA.

Also there's a reason that I know that both leagues are nearly identical. Other than some of the super clubs. For us once we realized that both leagues are very similar we chose the club that practices 10 minutes from our house.

I would really like to see the MA merge in the MD teams from the North Atlantic division and send Charlotte and Wilmington to the SE and the remaining NA teams to the NE. That would form a pretty strong division going from Baltimore to Raleigh. Raliegh might balk at the additional travel to Baltimore vs Charlotte and Wilmington but would be better for the rest of us.

MD has different high school season from VA/NC. That would make scheduling a lot harder

Yes, the leagues games, events like playoffs, etc are nearly identical. Maybe your club never got the invite to events other than league and showcases so you have a different perspective.
