Yes, but then again it shows how political and petty ECNL/US Club soccer is. NPL is bad, there is little competitive reason to participate so instead of the league addressing that they kick out a solid club and then block their admittance to ECNL.

Sounds real Elite to me.

NPL isn't "bad." It's just made up of smaller clubs. No worse than CCL or NCSL.

Not a good comparison. I don't know much about the NCSL, but the CCL has some strong teams and some really really bad ones.

That is true of EVERY LEAGUE.

Agreed!!! I am referring to the comparison of ECNL/RL to the CCL.

Not to the same degree!! True that not all teams are created equally in each league, but you can't compare a bad team in the CCL to a bad team in the ECNL. There are levels to this. For that matter there are good Rec teams, but you can't compare them to other good teams in a higher divison.

There is no real level difference between CCL and NCSL. stop

There is. My daughters were on a team that finished top of NCSL division 1. The following year that team ended up in CCL because the club joined. They really struggled. To be fair they had a huge number of injuries and were struggling to put a team on the field by mid-season - but the difference in level was significant.

Most of the ECNL Mid-Atlantic Conference could already be labelled the Southeast Conference.

So at this “national event” all GAL clubs will come together 3 times a year and they will play each other? There is 44 clubs correct? ECNL has 94 clubs correct? How many National events dies ECNL have a year? Where is the funding for GAL coming from? How are they going to pull these events together? Lots of questions I have, not getting much from MU can anyone help?

Do you honestly believe the ECNL showcases are “free”?

No that’s why I am asking where is GAL getting their funding from?

I guess the tents will say GAL on them now instead of DA. I don’t understand why the struggle then from DA if the parents where the ones funding the league then? Same clubs right same National events same parents money so how will this work and DA couldn’t make it work?

LMAO. Who said DA didn’t work? US Soccer made the decision to get out of the youth soccer business. That was their choice, but it doesn’t mean “DA didn’t work.” Clearly there’s room for the model, since ECNL has stuck around for a little while. Coke vs Pepsi.

GA currently sits at 45 with their largest conference yet to be announced. I guessing there will be 57 clubs. Every single club that plays in a league pays league fees. You have league fees, sponsorships, entry fees, etc... This is the same for every league in the country. The DA didn’t fail. US Soccer decided to pull out of youth sports.
