[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With GA getting traction in NOVA, will we start seeing non starters on ECNL teams going to GA? Last year, I think the only girls who left an ECNL club were not asked back. But does being a top 5 player on a GA team make more sense? And are girls willing to leave their friends?

Curious for the U14, U15, U16 ages as that seems most important for college. [/quote]
Of course this will happen. There are only so many ECNL minutes available. Those who are not getting a lot of playing time (i.e. recruiting exposure) will look to see what promises they can get from GA teams. Talent ID nominations, reduced fees, assurances of playing time and position, playing up are items to be leveraged. You'll also see groups of these mid to lower tier ECNL players banding together to see what they can get as a package deal to a GA team.[/quote]

I would say the Girls ECNL rosters are not as large this year as they were 2 years ago. I think this is already happening to some degree.  Also, Clubs love package deals.  They know that if 2-4 players come over, they will be good paying customers for the club.   But on also, I don't think all GA clubs are bending over backwards to make lofty promises to switch clubs since they are attracting a lot of talent.  [/quote]

Good point on roster size. Per the ECNL app, The 2012s have 15 (VDA), 17 (Union) and 16 (Arl). Seems that still allows for good playing time. 
For 2011, VDA and FVU show 20 and 17 for Arlington. Girls towards the end of the bench at VDA and FVU might benefit from a lot playing time in GA. [/quote]
