[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My prediction is that ECNL is coming for the rest of GA

NEFC, Tophat, Lou Fusz, Cincinnati United[/quote]

Maybe, this is only negative for GA if they don't replace IMO. Record shows they have replaced more than they have lost. If more GA clubs want to abandon ship, I don't see it as an obvious negative, more like clubs prioritizing how they want to be seen in the marketplace. ECNL is synomous with winning at all costs so that you can be seen by college coaches. GA is synomous with development at all costs so that girls can identify best options after HS, even if it means losing some notable clubs that are feeling pressure in their markets to win now. Don't think there is much to this continuos debate: One is bigger and attracts top playes to top teams, the other has a bigger vision for girls soccer as a whole and has some competitive teams. Pick the one that aligns with your values and goals.[/quote]

I'm not sure how you don't see losing top clubs and just replacing them is not a bad thing?  It's not just a numbers game.  If the GA wants to remain a player in, let alone relevant in, college recruiting, they need to put a good product on the field which attracts the college coaches.  If not, they will slowly fade into a second tier league and join the ranks of the many others out there.[/quote]

I don't think collegiate play is the ONLY thing the GAL platform is built upon.  I don't want to give my opinions of why because there's really no reason to turn this thread into a pissing match of ECNL vs GAL.  Both leagues have talented players, both serve a purpose and have customers that find that purpose valuable to them.[/quote]
