[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t a girls only league be called… Girls Academy? [/quote]

The names won’t matter just the orgs that run them. They might eventually call themselves Girls Academy but whats really being said is US Club which currently runs ECNL will control the girls side and MLS will run the boys side. Current GA and ECNL will combine but what they call it hasn’t been decided. Still a year or two at least away from it happening. If your worried about your kid, get them to an ecnl or ga team for girls and a mls next team (HG or AD) if you have a boy and they should be good. If they are already in high school, the eventual change won’t affect them as much.[/quote]

Because if you’re not on one of those teams when a change could possibly occur, you cannot make one of those teams? If this consolidation of leagues happens then consolidation of talent will happen too and smooth out over the years. If you’re strong, you’re strong. If you’re not, you’re not. [/quote]

Theoretically yes but if the situation comes up where two players play the same position and are close to the same level and one has been with the team for awhile and the other is coming from the outside most clubs especially coaches will lean to the player already with the team unless they or their parents are disliked for some reason. Usually the player from the outside will have to clearly outplay the player already at the club which is not always easy to do based on a 30min scrimmage at tryouts or a practice session. Changes are more likely at the younger ages but become less and less as the kids go from U12 to U13 (so in my opinion get your player to the level they want to be at by U11 so they can hopefully establish themselves making it harder to get pushed out. That being said if your player gets a GA2 or Academy2 designation don't be fooled into thinking they will ever make it to the top team especially at the bigger clubs. The reality is they are not even being considered). This year is different because of the age group changes where it seems like clubs are more willing to make changes then usual. [/quote]
