The move just proved the case that the most dominant GA clubs are just middle of the pack ECNL clubs. The GA is still a second tier developmental league.

100% truff but the GA cult will still huff and puff and prance around like the ECNL is on its last leg

New tactic. We don't have to huff and puff any more. We just sit by and wait quietly as the ECNL world slowly looses steam and much like a frog being boiled to death without realizing it, we are just watching the overly confident parents, continue to stay where they are at and say, "everything is fine. This is fine."

I have no dog in this fight and frankly would prefer to have two competitive options on the girls side, but think this is a little bit of a pipe dream when GA is a girls league and its best selling point is access to a boys league. MLSN may create some hydraulic pressure for GA but GA needs to step up its game in its own right for this to happen. Right now, if ECNL ever feels the pressure they can just let go of the requirement to have both sides in the league. Right now I think they are happy to be smaller and more “elite” (shall we say) while evidence suggests GA is over expanding beyond the talent pool of you look at the disparity from the top to bottom of the tables, at least in the mid-Atlantic. No one want to be in a “national” level league where half your game are uncompetitive blow outs.

ECNL has significantly more teams than GA does. Elite yes, but smaller no. There are plenty of trash ECNL teams out there across the country

no it doesn't. they are pretty even, maybe 1 or 2 difference. stop spreading disinformation

GA actually has more teams than ECNL.

How significantly will Pipeline Soccer Club be affected by Coppermine securing MLS NEXT Homegrown status? I think it could substantially weaken their position, and their brand may gradually lose relevance—even with their high‑end Capelli uniforms lol. I don’t feel much sympathy for Pipeline SC, because they had a clear opportunity to move out of ECNL and transition into MLS NEXT and GA, but they waited a year too long.

And Arlington—if you’re paying attention—you might want to learn from this. Waiting too long to make the jump can come back to haunt you. Keep an eye on what’s happening in the Baltimore area; it’s a perfect example of what happens when a club hesitates while others move forward.

And MLSN hasn't even started to flex on MLSN clubs with ECNL Girls getting them to switch to GA which we all know is coming.

Again arguing from the boys side. No reason why GA is intrinsically better itself, but if you care more about the boys…

Why would MLSN care about the split clubs? They already have the boys teams.

Mostly because of this...

The partnership article from 2024?

GA teams are participating in MLS Fest.

Do you have any documentation that the MLS Next and GA Alliance has changed in any way?

I don't know. It looks like they have 3 satellite locations and one primary club. Lots of younger players. It also looks like they have access to indoor facilities.

Seems like the kind of club that could grow quickly with access to olders closed leagues.

If you remove the 07/08 (1100 ranking) team which wont be around next season. What is the new math?

The younger teams 2012 and younger are pretty solid

Its difficult to maintain a high ranking when you're playing against multiple different types of teams. Sometimes you get quality and sometimes you get teams that are out to hurt you. This is the biggest challenge of not playing in a closed league.

Funny enough pipeline is actually better than a lot of GA teams! Be careful when you single out the bottom feeders

also most of these schools have very low academic rigor. might as well get an online degree and play for a local adult team, way cheaper
