[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Name calling isn’t proving that teams are leaving [/quote]

We’re still waiting for NWSL to acknowledge this partnership with GA and the coming league academies they must be in development forming by now. [/quote]

But US Soccer did give GA full membership. That’s a fact. And it’s a start.[/quote]

US Club soccer, the governing body of ECNL, already has the same membership.

The same membership that the Special Olympics also has also received.

This is not a partnership as much as it is a certificate of achievement. [/quote]

Even then, it's a recognition of the work put in by GA leadership over the past 4 years.

Even if it's only to benefit by being able to self govern/self sanction, people have to realize that from the second the DA was abandoned by the USSF at a really tough time, a lot of these clubs and people in leadership positions spent countless hours working together to ensure that these kids would have a league to play in.  I would assume that this is a group that cares about continuing something that they saw benefit in with the DA and they will continue to position themselves to grow the game for the girls side for the better.

Also remember this is the same group that created MLS Next for boys when GA blew up. I'd say they're fairly committed to the Academy model or as with MLS Next a mix of Academy and Pay to Play.

Most girls parents don't understand how MLSN works. Here's a quick high level. MLS clubs run free acadamies and they play against local pay to play club teams in a league. All players are considered amateur so when they get close to graduating high school they can make a choice between playing in college or professionally assuming they're good enough. There's a lot more but above is the most important.

From a college recruiting perspective MLSN players are considered more desirable than ECNL or other leagues. This is why all the boys clubs want to play in MLSN.[/quote]
