[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think ECNL would take a club if the club offered to leave MLS on the boys side if they took both the boys and girls to ECNL? or is ECNL not as worried on the boys side as some posters are saying? To me, ECNL is only worried about the girls side.[/quote]

Clubs want MLSN. GA is OK but its not clubs first choice.

As long as MLS + MLSN are connected the MLSN+GA combo will continue to get better and better over time. GA is almost identical to girls ECNL from a league and events perspective. Over time clubs will realize that they can make the same amount of money with GA as they can with girls ECNL and a lot more money with MLSN than boys ECNL.[/quote]

So my kids have played recently for both GA and ECNL.  I would say the coaching is about the equal.  I would say that ECNL has a deeper bench and perhaps better level of a few top line players.  The biggest difference I see between ECNL and GA is the number of coaches who show up for ECNL events.   It is not even close.   We have seen upwards of 150 coaches on the sidelines in North Carolina at one of our games in the last 12 months.  We have seen more on average 30-60 coaches for ECNL.  Sometimes we are lucky to see 20 coaches for GA and when we do it is more for D2 or D3.  When we have gone to college ID sessions out of interest from coaches ECNL is way more "valuable" a commodity than GA.   This may seem like a homer parent perspective, but given that our ECNL National experience is more recent I get why people say that ECNL has an edge on GA.  Furthermore, you have to consider whether you are a person who is coming from a boy or girl perspective.  I just don't see GA offering the same benefits as ECNL for girls.  I can understand how a parent of a boy might see this differently.  Bottom line is people reading this board need to consider whether they know if the poster is talking about a girl or boy situation.

Not trying to cause a fight but how does more or less recruiters at events change the amount of money the club makes? In both leagues theres only one team attending events. The amount of money clubs make is exactly the same.[/quote]
