[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be interesting to see how far the GA / MLS Next partnership goes.

Hopefully NWSL will get onboard and GA can rename itself to NWSL Next.[/quote]

GA becoming NWSLNext? You VAR, TSJ, SYC parents are funny.[/quote]
Why else would the be partnering with MLS Next. Get a clue.[/quote]

They partnered 5 years ago. GA has crumbled in that time.[/quote]
How do you define “crumbled”? GA has grown the number of clubs significantly over those 5 years. More clubs means more revenues. More clubs means bigger showcases, more sponsors, more teams participating, and again more revenues. By any objective measure used to evaluate businesses (because it is in fact a business), GA is most certainly not crumbling but expanding.[/quote]

The level of clubs and play in the GA have eroded over the last 5 years of partnership with MLSN.[/quote]
Only weird soccer dads like you use that as a metric. The only reason GA might care about level of clubs would be if it led to less sponsors or clubs, which has not been the case in fact the opposite is happening. There is no evidence that club quality has any effect on their business. [/quote]

I think lots of people care about the level of play and clubs in GA, ECNL, E64, ECNL-rl, esp, etc. it’s a pretty silly assumption to assume people don’t. Especially all of these MLSNext dads.[/quote]
Oh, I agree lots of people care about GA  level of play. Mostly people from other leagues looking to pump themselves up. But in no way does it mean the league is “crumbling”. Not as long as clubs, sponsors, and revenues keep going up. To argue otherwise is like saying a restaurant that is filled with paying customers is crumbling because they aren’t the right sexy celebrity customers. [/quote]

ECNL girl parent here. I care about GA because o think having a competing league creates business pressures that force ECNL to be responsive to the actual needs of parents and players. STL was a perfect example of a league that is accountable to nobody. A strong GA and a strong MLSN will force better CS and CX from ECNL[/quote]

Thank you. At least someone in that side has the guts to say the truth.

While STL still drew recruits, there is no way I would be happy to have my kid playing in those conditions.

Specially when the week before those same recruiters were in sunny SoCal.

If you look at ecnls ig during these events, it’s the same thing every time. No innovation, other than the “shoebox” they are doing nothing other than hosting soccer matches.[/quote]

Some of the recruiters were in SoCal. Not all. Not close to all.

What should ECNL do other than “host soccer matches”? Lol heck of a take.

How is the GA innovating on social media? [/quote]

lol, go to individual teams instagrams and you will see all the top college programs were there. If ecnl had 1100 coaches and GA had 700 who gives a damn. 1100 hundred could be a set of 2-3 coaches per college…[/quote]
