Well, folks, it looks like the first domino fell today with the ECNL (National League) announcement that they are adding 5 new clubs: Beach FC (VA), Florida Premier FC, Florida West, Pateadores (CA), and Rockford Raptors (IL). I for one don't mind trips down to the beach, it should be great competition because I know they always have good teams in all age groups-at least on the girl's side. I'm curious to see how much better they can be stepping up to the big leagues.
