Yep, here's a sampling of their girls coaches ...
One, who is a 2-time HS girls coach of the year.
One who is a noted former D3 women's college coach
One who previously helped win 2 ECNL national titles as a player for Hawks

None of those three resumes mean they can coach youth girls soccer at a high level and be successful. One of the parents on my daughter‘s team played for the US national team. There’s no way she could coach the team. We have another parent that used to be a college coach and there is no way he could coach the team.

Did you seriously just say that a 2x HS COACH of the year and a noted D3 college COACH won't know how to handle youth players? The player, sure, level of play doesn't mean you can coach but 2 very successful coaches.....really...

Once GA announces the SY decision next week, will there be any more changes to leagues/rosters?

The high school coach of the year doesn’t really impress. High school soccer is all about having the best players. There’s no development or serious tactics if you just have a really good roster. We just had a district coach of the year win the award for the third time but was an unsuccessful second team club coach.

An ECNL fan boy is trying their best to dump on GA clubs. Trying to associate Kigs Hammer and NVA with whatever was going on at Sporting.

Don't you ever get tired of worrying about GA? What you should be worring about is making it to playoffs (which we all know your kids team didn't do) so you can get shelled by Socal teams.

Yeah, they were dumping on Midwest United plenty earlier in the thread. BTW, that club's 2012, 12-year-old phenom recently played with their USL-W team and just became the youngest to score a goal in that league!

What are the initials of this 2012 phenom?

One could make exactly the SAME argument about top ECNL teams. The coaching doesn't matter, just the talent.

But nobody is making that argument. These resumes are being discussed because of some Michigan Hawks versus Michigan wolves post earlier in this thread. Nobody actually cares about Michigan anyways. This is a Washington DC board.

This is one thread of a few that have gone national (as is the topic). Keep up!

So are we done with these so called "booms" or do we need to wait until the end of June? Almost 300 pages of nothing besides GA completely watering down their league. All that hype for nothing.

Movement has slowed down considerably, I don't think it is a wait until the end of June, I think it is a wait until next year.

or how about the GA is only 10% relevant in the highest level of girls soccer and they did nothing this year to change that. guess who's on the path to bankruptcy....again
