[b]Sounds like GA is positioned best on the girls side.[/b] Really interested to see how this plays out![/quote]

Huh?  GA is a second tier girls league making desperate moves after losing many of their best teams last year.  They added a ton of mediocre clubs last year and continue to face an uphill battle.[/quote]

City SC, CUP, IMG, TopHat, Lou Fusz, FL United are better clubs than 90% of ECNL… they can all hang with the big dogs…and that’s without having ECNL….

Most clubs would’ve crumbled by now. [/quote]

Cherry-picking the remaining top 6 clubs in GA doesn't make the league as strong as ECNL.  Sure, the top handful could succeed in ECNL, but it's a fast drop-off after that, and the last 2/3 of GA is just not good.  Like the last 1/3 of ECNL.[/quote]

[b]There are only few decent ECNL clubs as well[/b].  There are plenty of teams in ECNL in DMV that are struggling [/quote]

The bolded is wrong on a lot of levels.  The (large) majority of the good (Top 30?) girls teams at any age are ECNL teams.  GA is a distant second in terms of the number of teams in the top 30.  Does that mean there aren't good GA teams and there aren't bad ECNL one?  Of course not.[/quote]
Yes, the ECNL has more top ranked teams. But it’s not due to some magic ECNL fairy dust that makes players better. It’s just the conditions of the last few years allowed them to consolidate players. There is nothing ECNL provides for a top player that the player also wouldn’t be able to achieve if they were playing at a GA club. YNT scouts are at both. P4 coaches go to events at both. It’s strange that people feel so much loyalty to a league. [/quote]
