I hope they're done so they can start forming and announcing all the divisions/conferences.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Our moves are done, now I want to know what it's all going to look like. Part of me also wants to see what the team we left gets for a schedule as well.

Exactly!!! People need to know who is in the divisions so they can see what the travel is going to look like. Some people need to know asap as tryouts are approaching and the decision to join a team/platform could depend on where the clubs/teams are placed. This goes for all (ECNL, GA, GAA, DPL, DPLO). C'mon already. Get it over with. People are done waiting.

This is why people care. GA visors making comments like this. Like the one GA visor that said to let them know when you see ECNL teams playing against European teams.

This isn’t one sided. GA visors very defensive and easily angered about playing in a second league.

Truth is “European Academy” players are unlikely to be as good as either GA or ECNL. The eurosnobs might get upset, but outside of a handful of teams, US women are collectively still ahead of europe at every level. All that “the world has caught up” stuff was never true. If your kid went on one of the numerous Club trips to Europe over the summer, it became obvious pretty quickly that ECNL/GA is simply more competitive.

What I can see is that for American players quality and playing at a competitive level drops off at college.

If players players go pro right after HS competitive level continues to go up.

How did you find this that fast? And for the 2 RL - are they from clubs where RL is their top team?

Once again.. a representation of the biggest clubs. It’s not a ECNL/GA thing.

It’s the clubs that are always represented.

Kudos to ECNL. BUT it still is interesting how it's just the clubs and states, no mention of the league, in the announcement.

It's because ECNL recognizes that the top 10% of clubs produce 90% of the college recruits.

I finally saw a true ECNL hat in action. I was at a local HS game yesterday and this family was fully decked out in ECNL gear ... jacket, hat, shirt - the ECNL had you could see ECNL from 50 yards away. They sat in front of us in the stands and were loud and mostly annoying...at halftime we asked what one was their daughter and they sheepishly said "she didn't play yet"

Everyone else had their school colors and shirts on, but this family was all ECNL.

Was it that baby blue hat that they all wear or a limited edition one

We are more north and it was colder, so it was the White winter hat with the big black ECNL letters across the front.
