[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The partnership with MLSNext and U.S. Soccer was a brilliant long game play by GA, and ECNL does not have a clear counter. ECNL’s best move would be doubling down on its independent model and continuing to be the dominant name in college recruiting. But as the top-tier talent funnels into GA over the next few years and continues to align with U.S. Soccer’s vision for youth development, then the transition of power is inevitable.

ECNL still has a wider reach and more depth of competition across the country, but as more MLS-affiliated girls’ programs transition to GA, the overall talent pool will begin to tilt in GA’s favor. As you can see GA is attracting top clubs and receiving better funding/resources, the competition level will naturally improve this year and will put them in position to challenge ECNL for the premier pathway in girls' soccer sooner than you think.

In the next 2-3 years ECNL still holds an edge in college recruitment and overall competition depth. But in the long term 2-3+ years GA will be the top league for elite girls. The shift has already begun, If you’re a young player deciding between the two: ECNL is still ideal for HS aged girls, but GA is the future for middle school and younger.

GA is NOT attracting top clubs.  stop with this nonsense...maybe in the future, but there has not been 1 club that is TOP.   NVA is a mid to bottom level ecnl club and in order to win more they have to move to a lower league, so GA it is. [/quote]
