[quote=Anonymous]I don't see the desire to play for ECNL (Girls) teams lessening at all, personally.  Rightly or wrongly, the perception at this moment in time (doesn't mean it won't shift in the future) is that the ECNL Girls platform is by far the top one (amongst female players & families).

The change now is that there are WAY fewer ECNL spots available with teams moving to the GA (which could cause a change in local mentality, perhaps), but those spots will be very hard to get, so the talent will still flock.  Then, it will be distributed to the "next best thing."  Will some go to VDA's ECNL-RL with hopes of moving up vs a GA spot? Maybe, maybe not.

It is not about there being too many League Spots/Clubs in a league (I think more localized games is a huge bonus), but when the numbers get to what they are looking like (and who knows if the GA adds more potentially, or are they done?), then there just isn't the depth of top-end talent to field teams who can compete on a National level (local yes, national no).

Historically, it has shown that a large chunk of the local talent on ONE team puts the area in the conversation, but if it is spread out, it won't be possible consistently at all. [/quote]
