Meanwhile, the GA is adding everything that applied, clubs who are ranked 1000+ and would be bottom third of their own B league (Aspire), agreed?

Ask NJ Premier if this is true (I know not a DMV team, but they have been mentioned here)

#170 in the country on Girls Club side

#3 in NJ for 2008 girls (beat ton of GA/ECNL teams)

It's probably geography and GA being smart here. Njp is walking distance to pda blue. Any and all top 20-22 kids in area are going to PDA. Second, they have an RL team in same location.  If you know anything about PDA, people love getting their kids into PDA, regardless of level, so kids can wear the baby blues. It's likely some parents will choose pda rl over njp gal just to get into the pda system with hopes of getting to blue. The reality is that people realize that pda training isn't all that great and there is a low probability of getting promoted to blue but there's always new parents who makes these decisions and ultimately it's a talent drain in this area
#5 in NJ for 2011 girls (beat ton of GA teams)

Woman owned club

but 
No B teams
Boys play EDP

denied GA and playing in Aspire next year even though last year they won 5 out of 6 NAL divisions (and a 2nd place) last year
(niece plays for the club, so I hear it a lot from my BIL)

The fact that NJ Premier didn't make GA does not chnage the fact GA has pulled in some pretty heinous teams in other parts of the country.  No idea NJP why in Aspire but think any of these four factors could be in play:
1) GA does not think competition in NAL is very good and thus not impressive
2) No B teams to put in Aspire if A team promoted to GA
3) Not strong enough across all six age groups (do they have one or two really week teams?)
4) GA all ready saturated/oversaturated in NJ market
