[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how the promotion from GA Tier 2 (Aspire) into GA will work?

Will it be for one team at one age group, if they do particularly well for example.  Or is it for the whole Club to earn a promotion?

-If its only for a whole club, will they ignore promotion of GA2 team if the same club already has a GA1 team?  I.e. if a clubs GA2 team wins their league, would they have no shot at promotion because the same club already has a GA1 team?

Typical promotion leagues promote the top 3 and relegate the bottom 3. It would be cool to see relegating the bottom 3 and making 3rd and 4th in Aspire play an elimination game to win promotion. [/quote]
The problem with youth league and club structure is there's a multiple levels of teams for every age group. Pro/Rel doesn't work in the current club structure because a single coach might have multiple levels or age group teams.

What this means is if you wanted to do Pro/Rel ar the youth level it would have to be club wide at all age groups. This doesn't work because clubs will just go to competitors before being relegated if it's going to happen across all age groups and levels.

ECNLs way to get around all this was to force crappy clubs to merge with better clubs vs boot them completely from the league. Unfortunately this just delays the inevitable because merged club leadership will fight for power eventually spinning back put into separate clubs usually in a different league.

Pro/Rel works with acadamies because there's 1 top team and all age groups feed I to it. Age has no bearing on who plays.[/quote]

Good points that I agree with, that’s why I’m wondering what they mean when they say teams can be promoted…. Wonder if it’s just technical lip service.[/quote]

Given that GA plays the same club vs club format where all six age groups play each other on the same day, it cannot be individual team promotion
