Why do you find it hard to accept that what’s right for you and your kid is not right for every kid? If you are an 04 parent you’ve likely spoken to me in the sideline but never once criticized me to my face yet behind the anonymous post you can preach about politics and being a smart parent.

The club’s stayed the same that you signed up for last year. If the players stay the same then what is the difference?

Club = same
Players = same
League = not same

DA is now GA
Are you suggesting that other than changing one letter in their name that nothing is different?

Arlington girls was a DA club for barely over a year before it failed. Now you expect me to believe that a rescue league that no one knew about and is being propped up to absorb what was once the DA is something so impressive that I should continue on blindly and accept that its the place to be.

I respect your choice to stay and ride it out. As for my choice I see it very differently. As for your assumption that the players are the same, I can assure you that is not the case. The majority will likely be there but the starting 11 will not all return. That I know 100% for sure.

Your assumption is you believe that a patch is what develops your kid. If your kid isn’t on a Champions League level team she is a mid major level player at best. Sorry but the patch isn’t getting your kid in front of Anson Dorrance.

So honestly, what percentage of ex-DA players do you think will make ECNL? How much ECNL do you think will get bumped?

Honestly, 100% of the DA players can make a ECNL team.

What a dumb question.

The question should be how many will bother trying?

Enjoy your new league.

ECNL should have done the right thing and rolled all the DAs in when they had the chance. Sorry but it doesn’t look like a talent infusion for your mediocre non-champions league team.

How is that “the right thing” in this case? If you roll every DA in, why not national league teams too?

Umm,because National League didn't have their league blown up by US Soccer? Isn't it obvious why they made the suggestion they did? SMDH

So you have a new league now. You can still call yourselves special. The DA tried to put ECNL out of business. ECNL is supposed to then turn around and bail the DA out?

Correction, US soccer tried to put the ECNL out of business. The clubs made a choice to participate in DA based on the flawed assumption that US soccer had stamina and credibility. Again, there’s a lot more reason for ECNL to have taken the former DA clubs than not to. There’s no reason to take National League clubs in, which was your original statement. Stop moving the goalposts. ECNL has been “special” for quite some time, and there’s no one more “special” on this forum than ECNL parents...

Not moving the goalposts. Ex-DA clubs have a league. The best league. GAL! They don’t need ECNL.

Not many P5 schools hit games outside of the Champion's League.

No, ex DA clubs have a league that remains mostly the same as last year with more family friendly rules to match ECNL. That is it. Your kid has a team and league to play in and ex DA kids have a team and league to play in now. Why does that bother you?

Im sorry you must be mistaken my interest or intent with some other parent thinking their kid is going to play for UNC because they have a patch of DA or ECNL. Personally I would rather my kid not play college Div 1 soccer so your whole argument has no meaning. I didnt take her to Arlington DA for a patch. Her ability and their interest in her led her there. Now that its over its not particularly important to me that she has an ECNL or a GAL patch at all. She will start wherever she goes, that I know. What it leads to in college I could care less.

You didn’t go to Arlington to chase a patch but you are going to leave Arlington because their patch changed?

[Anonymous]

with that rationale in mind would you have stayed at Arlington if they didnt go GAL but instead went CCL?
Your argument tells me you would have stayed yet I know better, youd have chased your way to an ecnl club as fast as you could.

Ok, 12 out of 18 kids on Champion league kids go P5 while 2 out of 18 kids on lower tier teams go P5. I am owned sweetie.

And the answer was that National League is still a thing, but DA was no more. Yes, there is GA now, but there was, for a time, a vacuum left by US Soccer that ECNL could have chosen to fill very simply by adding the former DA clubs. End of story, ECNL becomes the undisputed king of "elite" and everybody wins. Now, the waters are still muddy, with many clubs and kids choosing to stay with their teams in a competing league. In any case, National League teams still have a home and didn't have their league wrecked by US Soccer. There's no overriding reason they would or should have been considered for addition to ECNL in bulk.

That is a question you should ask USYS. If GAL was under the USYS umbrella then their clubs could easily be integrated into a hierarchy. But as it is I’m sure if any clubs in USYS would like to join GAL there is nothing stopping them from doing so.

So wrong. First off, 90% of the recruiting is done in showcases before the standings and champions cup berths become solidified. Secondly, scouts recruit players not teams. Not every stud is on a superstar team.
