[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are neglecting that pesky little tidbit that there are many funded MLS DAs for males.  IF and when they have the same for females, of course the best players will attend funded GDAs.  Until then, i see it as a regional thing.  But it will be be what it will be.

The customers do not really care which one ultimately prevails (except for the HS issue which is significant in some areas).  The folks making money form all this will continue to do battle about it.  It is Coke vs, Pepsi. Starbucks vs dunkin.....of a little bit of consequence but not too much unless you make a liviing at one or the other.[/quote]

When ECNL was teh only game in town clubs and coaches heavily discouraged HS play. They allowed it but with little talent dilution at the time only the team Studs or Duds dared play HS. If you were a in between kid you did what your club coach suggested you do for fear of losing minutes or being replaced outright.

And now with GDA on the scene ECNL is marketing their league as the league you don't actually have to play in. "Join ECNL, the league you can miss three months of ECNL to play High School. Yes, we are still charging you for a full 10 months of ECNL training even though you will only train 6 months with the highest quality kids."[/quote]
