It is not. Ranger is not a strong club. At most the girls can get RL and that is it. West Coast is better than them, and still a very low level team in ECNL stadnard.

How about we focus on the future. If your daughter is 2012 or younger you may want to start looking for a GA club.

This is where we are at. My daughter is Q4 2013. We are switching clubs this year. We want to go to a GA club- and look into DPL and Aspire. She is not GA level, maybe when she drops an age group. I'm hesitant to commit to a club with a GA platform when they have announced SY vs BY. So we are in a wait and see!

GA announcement on age change will come in May.


How do you know the announcement will come in May? What will it be

No clue what it will be. I was just that they anticipate their announcement to come in May.

ECNL is squeezing clubs to make a decision.
Now we know why SC Surf made the move.

You mean GA+MLSN are doing the same thing to clubs that ECNL used to do? Forcing clubs to play in boys ECNL if they wanted girls ECNL?

ECNL started the potentially illegal practice of tieing different products. GA+MLSN are just playing the game ECNL introduced. Before MLSN+GA announced a partnership earlier this year they were completely separate and didn't care if clubs had one or the other.

If ECNL does this, Bethesda, FC Delco, and PDA will need to make the move. I'm not sure ECNL has the guts to do this.

ECNL has definitely done this.

ECNL even took things a step further and taken girls ECNL away from clubs that don't do boys ECNL.

ECNL has also taken girls ECNL away if clubs play boys ECNL as their 2nd boys team behind MLSN.

100% correct. I wish the ECNL hats knew more about ECNLs history.

Can you inform us of ECNL’s history? I know they survived the girls DA.

How about we focus on the future. If your daughter is 2012 or younger you may want to start looking for a GA club.

This 100%. ECNL is like the titanic, and they just hit an iceberg with the MLSN + GA partnership.. the first few lifeboats just entered the water, with more to come.

When clubs started switching to DA in groups in 2017 is when DA really started to pickup steam. If you see this happening with GA ECNL is done.

We can expect a few more strong one off GA adds this cycle, next year you will have groups of teams switching to GA from what I'm hearing.

sure. you aren't hearing nothing from clubs cause they all just happen to let you know

Sounds like he heard something

Bada BOOM!!!!!

Rangers FC on cue. Another club add in the 100 range.

Not an add, just promoted from DPL

100%. funny how these people (the poster you responded to) are throwing darts at the wall about BOOMS! hoping to be right thinking they are in the know

100% funny how these people who think they are in the know keep posting about people in the know, when in reality they are clueless

they are an aspire/RL level club. that is just a fact. their girls club ranking is suspicious just saying.

Have they added any other than the RL clubs?

so GA just announced more ASPIRE clubs. to be honest, this is very confusing. some of the girls 3 of the 5 clubs are ranked very high, #66, #94, #114 so it would seem they should be going to GA.

It is not confusing. All these clubs have multiple teams. They are clearly being rewarded for joining GA. Likely will have first team in GA and second team in Aspire … or for teams that already have 2 in the GA their third team could move to Aspire and their fourth to DPL.

Plenty of areas for differentiation whether it be around college recruiting, development philosophy, cost, geography and travel requirements, associations with professional leagues MLS, NWSL, etc. Competition is good. There are usually at least two main competitors in any market. A single dominant league is good for no one.

How do these youth leagues work in countries like Germany or Spain?
I wonder if they have multiple competing "top leagues."

I wonder..

most countries don't have leagues or the "club system" like us. They have academies at each age level built up and attached to their local pro teams.

Oh, you mean no competition outside of the academy system. Got it.

My kid's RL team beat Ranger 5:0. In Socal, top GA team City is at most lower bottom ECNL team. City usually places their GA team in a lower bracket to play against Surf RL team.

Sounds like you're talking about youngers and local tournaments.

Tournament directors choose level and placement in the tournament. Club directors can provide feedback but ultimately it's the Tournament directors decision.

Also City olders top teams typically don't play in local tournaments other than Surf Cup.

I highly doubt your RL team played a GA top team.

Wrong, they lost to 2 RL teams at their own Rangers Cup...

So, you're saying Rangers teams (you don't know which level) playing at a Rangers tournament lost to 2 RL teams before they joined GA. Does that sound right?

And somehow City SC slipped into your discussion?

I think 2 things...
1. You're a ulittle parent
2. You're trying to elevate an RL team
