well, aren't you just an angry ball of hate?

Ask FCV; this comes from a director of another club here in town. I am sure they got the same email. Is there a way to share screenshots on here? I am happy to share what I received but can't seem to find a way to embed it.

Or since you can't seem to respond without such aggression, maybe just wait for the GA to publically announce it, then be thankful this is an anonymous forum so you don't look as silly.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a team can still qualify through regular season play, correct? It would be really sad that the players who stayed at FCV get penalized for the actions of those who left before the end this past year and refused to travel. Would they really keep a team from going if the team could show the quality of play to be there?

Yes they qualify for the following season through regular season play - that's how Champions Cup is. Fall 2023/Spring 2024 Final Club Standings = Fall 2024/Spring 2025 Season Champions Cup. so if what was said is true, FCV would have to re-earn Champions Cup next season but they wouldn't get it until the 2025/2026 season.

It’s actually not that big a deal to be in Champions Cup. All of the Champions Cup events are also showcases, so any team U15+ can go. They won’t miss out on anything.

If you don't know what you're talking about, please don't say anything.

It is a big deal because if your team doesn't make the GA playoffs, this is a major recruiting event. The more you go to, the more opportunities your DD will have to be seen by the college she wants to go to.

Champions Cup events are NOT showcases, Winter Showcase determines seeding for Spring Champions Cup tournament. The championship games determines 1st and 2nd place, the 3rd place match determines 3rd and 4th overall, etc. etc., all the way down to the 15th/16th match.

Only 16 clubs can attend plus (4) wild cards in U14 - U19 - so again not any team can go.

The event in December is absolutely a showcase. It's literally called Winter Showcase & Champions Cup. https://girlsacademyleague.com/winter-showcase/

Yes, the Spring Champions Cup tournament in March in FL is Champions Cup only. But, there is another event the next month called Spring Showcase in NC which is for all the non-Champions Cup teams. https://girlsacademyleague.com/spring-showcase/. Click on the attending scouts list you'll see it's just as well attended by college coaches as the Champions Cup only event the month before.

None of the champions cup teams go to both the March and April events. So, all teams have the same number of opportunities to play in national events. Champions cup teams play in December, March, and June. Non-Champions cup teams play in December, April, and June. The June event is the playoffs for teams that qualify, but also a Showcase for teams that don't. Non-Champions Cup teams have the exact same number of national events as Champions Cup teams, at the exact same complexes and fields.

Clubs are counting on gullible parents like you to fall for the Champions Cup marketing. Colleges recruit players not teams at these events. All of the games are at the same complex. College coaches do not care if the team is in Champions Cup.

100%

Here is the schedule with 60 non-champions club teams that somehow managed to attend your Champions Club only event in FL in December https://system.gotsport.com/org_event/events/27835/schedules?group=237504

Champions Club designation only matters to clubs to help their marketing

Well first off it wasn't in FL in December, so you're already starting off wrong.

The winter showcase and champions cup are two different events held at the same place at the same time - i know that might be a hard concept to grasp but it happens. Just look at the schedule it's clearly posted that there is a U15 Champions Cup and U15 Showcase - different teams, different schedules.

Show me where any of those showcase teams played in Florida in March? I'll wait

Do you even listen to yourself? You admit it was at the same place, at the same time. That means that teams that are in champions cup have the exact same opportunity to be watched by college coaches at the event in December. The college coaches do not know or care that the player they are watching on field 17 at 2pm is playing in the Champions Cup but the player on that same field at 4pm is in the Showcase.

You are correct that the showcase teams did not play in Florida in March. But they did all play at the showcase in April https://girlsacademyleague.com/spring-showcase/. Show me where any of the champions cup teams played in North Carolina in April. I'll wait.

You said that champions cup gives a team an advantage for college recruiting because they have more opportunities to play in front of college scouts. That is just wrong. Champions Cup teams have two events (Dec and March). Non-Champions cup also have two events (Dec and April). All of them are equally attended by college scouts.

NEFC and City SC come to mind. Hope you didn't wait too long.

Their B teams, same as multiple other clubs. The level was low in NC compared to years past for GA.

They don't have "B" teams in the GA. Only a few clubs have more than one (e.g., Lonestar, Nationals) in the GA.

Every GA team is an A team

Some clubs have two GA teams, so an A and a B team.

FC Virginia qualified on paper based on their results but are ineligible for Champions Cup next season based on too many teams forfeiting their playoff position and roster continuity issues? Does anyone have any information on the validity of this? Can FCV fight it as they have earned the spots?

There is a HUGE difference between exposure for players in the Champions Cup vs regular GA showcase so it can have a big impact on players.

Yikes. Playoff schedule is out and only one FCV team is going. The rest couldn't roster enough players. GA can't be happy with that one.

NOT THE CHAMPIONS CUP POINTS?!?!?!

First they came for the ECNL, but I was not one...
Then the came from the Champion's cup points, but I did not have any...

What happened to the GA rostered coaches at FCV? Many of the coaches who made the team selections are no longer listed as the coaches!

[Anonymous]

One coach got a promotion to coach a college Div 1 program, I think it was. The other returned to Europe to pursue other opportunities closer to home.

[Anonymous]

If DR is coaching D1 l, God please help those kids. He quit his job and was supposed to be college recruiting contact. He was basically clueless when it came to player skill sets.
