Shopping for players at events doesn't work because everyone will want the same 5-6 players and only 5-6 colleges are going to get those players.

Players just need to put in the work reaching out to the schools they want to play for to get on their radar. Also let your coach, doc, college liason, etc all know what you're looking to do so they can help out as much as possible.

There could be 10000 recruiters or there could be 15. The only ones that matter are the ones that are there to see you play.

Quote of the century. This guy gets it.

ECNL = 1000
GA = 15

Does ImYouthSoccer redo the stats when all the ECNL girls enter the transfer portal? Do they show 70% of ECNL players enter transfer portal? when 500 of them don't find homes and stop playing, do they still count in the ECNL D1 players count?

Do they count the GA players in the portal too? What does the league have to do with the portal? So ignorant.

All leagues and clubs should have to keep track. It isn't so much a league thing then a club thing. Clubs not helping to provide good fits for players and stressing D1 to boost numbers should be held accountable. ECNL stresses D1 to players even if they shouldn't play D1 over any other division. Why do you see 1000+ players every year in the portal moving from D1? Because they should not have gone their. Most players have no idea the level of commitment that is required from a D1 athlete and they can't handle it.

Before you say the GA stresses D1 also and doesn't report transfers I'll tell you this...ECNLs college impact is all about D1, they show little if any from other divisions. GA at least shows all college players.

That's because their D1 footprint isn't exactly a selling point.....

"The show little if any from other divisions. GA at least shows all college players". Where is this "showing of Divisions from ECNL and GA you speak of?

Sadly, the 15 is more like USYS at their top tournaments.

[Anonymous]

Can anyone give a snapshot of where the Alexandria top girls teams are playing this year?

I think 2012 and 2009 are in USYS NL. Are any of the others? I am looking at the NCSL website. Is red the top team in other years or are all their top teams in NL and red is the second teams?

Do you forget that the colleges watch these players a lot before offering them?

Maybe, just maybe a lot of college coaches aren’t very good at Talent ID.. and a lot leave it to assistant coaches who come and go every couple years

Does anyone know when GA will announce SY vs BY

https://girlsacademyleague.com/college-impact/ GA actually shows the college impact, ECNL took theirs down years ago when it showed a continuing drop from GDA and GA.

They also go by club/coach recommendations which is hit and miss yet they still keep those lines open.

2024 data shows that GA college commitments were spread across 91 different GA clubs. That kind of blows the “have to play on a champions league team be recruited in GA” argument out of the water.

ECNL and GA should just merge.

If you’re good, then they will find you regardless who which league you’re in. It’s not the league that makes the player. ECNL has more top level players in the older age group so they can boast those numbers. Won’t last long though.

Players can get recruited from GA. I don’t think that is the point being debated.

The data being used is also from multiple years ago. I bet the ECNL commitment data stops at when DA blew up. Because if you went all the way back to 2017 and included DA with GA it would paint a different picture.
