[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the announcement of the ECNL’s absorption of some of the better GA teams yesterday, it looks to me like the last nail is in the GA coffin. If that’s true, which I know some will debate, where will the younger girls currently on the good local GA teams go?  Because if you’re 05-04-03 you’re not moving at this point, but younger than that you might as well try for a team in the league that is more likely to compete at the highest levels when you’re at a recruiting age.

Here’s my guess, almost totally based on commute times.  
Arlington and Metro United will try for Mclean and agree to Bethesda or BRYC if they don’t make the Mclean roster. 
FCV will try for Loudoun, or if they live south, VDA. 
Baltimore Armour and Balt Celtic will try for Pipeline or MD United, depending which is a shorter drive.

And as the parent of a current GA player, I think the talent consolidation will be good in the long run.

Are there factors other than commute that parents are taking into consideration as they are contemplating making a move? [/quote]

Making a decision based only on the platform of ECNL is a mistake IMO.  Need to look at the whole picture, coaching, strength of the teammates you train with every day, and interest in the recruiting process from your coach.  [/quote]
