Ha! I know exactly who you are talking about. You haven't seen anything yet...

I'm a GA parent with a non-starter that debated a move, but stayed on the team because she likes her teammates and the training and level of play. So, I don't blame any ECNL kid for doing the same. That being said, wresting with that decision didn't cause me to talk down to ECRL or Aspire parents. I think those are fine options. It's strange that ECNL parents are the only ones that punch down.

No parents go out of their way to put down GA. It’s only when people try and pretend like they are equal that you need to let them know that’s not true. It’s not a shot at GA to be the second best girls league. Anyone who has their feelings hurt by that needs to grow a pair.

GA is a good league especially if you’re on a national level qualifier team.

my daughter plays on a ga team. she has tried out and failed to make the local ecnl team 3 years. she has 2 more years to play and probably wont tryout again. she has accepted her level. our ga parents are obsessed with ecnl and our local ecnl team. they literally won't be friends with some of the parents on the ecnl team.may of the kids are friends on both teams, go to the same high schools etc. I can't even sit on the sidelines. if you think some ga parents don't obsess over ECNL, well you live in a fantasy world. ecnl is the better league, just some people can't accept it.

Well very similar to the parents of my daughters ga team. Some of the parents are insufferable with their focus on ecnl. Get over it. Enjoy your kid playing.

Most parents are lucky to find the field and wear the appropriate uniform. This is all pure fan fiction.

Most ecnl parents barely acknowledge ga , its another world or ecnl is the only world they know. Ecnl is a marketing machine..everyone in ecnl has bought in. Kids sitting on an ecnl bench is OK because its ecnl. Its the same p4 or bust or d1 or bust mentality. Just stick with ecnl no matter what even if you dont play. They've fit a narrative for that..its well that's the way its going to be in college , best to train them mentally for it now. Its mind boggling

Parents on my DD’s team wish there were a reason for clubs to flip to GA in its own right rather than because it’s better for the boys.

Parents on my DD’s team know there will be once clubs start flipping for MLS Next because if enough strong clubs move together, then by definition the girls side becomes stronger too.

If several major clubs move over for MLS Next and bring their girls programs with them, suddenly GA gets deeper overnight.

The strength of a league is the clubs and players inside it. If enough top clubs move, perceptions change very fast.

Yeah, Parents on my daughters GA team talk about how GA is taking over with all these ECNL teams coming to GA. It's a bloodbath over in the ECNL

What’s the point if it’s not HG? And HG is pretty much full, can’t add too many more without dilution. So I think this pressure is pretty much played out.
