[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another GA vs ECNL thread how original

In this area we have so much talent and parents arguing over which club is better is insane. 08 VDA might be the best in the area but 07 Arlington might be the best in the area for that age. Its all relevant!!

Btw GA is better than ECNL at least in this area. How many games did ECNL play this year? I think NCSL teams had more playing time  :lol: [/quote]

I agree that TODAY some of the GA teams are better than some of the ECNL teams in this area. But for an 08 girl considering her options, is it more or less likely that four years from now, when she is at prime recruiting age, that she will have developed better and have had better opportunities playing for a GA team for those four years or for an ECNL team for those four years. My DD plays for Arlington now and I love the club and the team and the coaches, but I’m afraid the club will get dragged down by the showcasing platform and competition, so that an 08 girl’s opportunities won’t be as good as those for a comparable 08 girl playing for VDA or Mclean over those four years.  I personally thing BRYC is done, so that’s less of an option. And I 100% agree that good coaching and development matters the most, but competition and opportunity to showcase are a good differentiator if all of the clubs you’re considering already have decent coaching and development at your DD’s age.
