[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GA is on the rise!  Watch out GA is coming for ECNL!  :)[/quote]

Is GA in trouble now that US Soccer is doing all the behind the scenes work for US Club (and ECNL)?[/quote]

Announcement today is USYS is exploring the same deal -- will decide after a 90 day review. Would GA do this next?[/quote]
Why would GA do anything? They're already in alignment with US Soccer. GA literally came from the ashes of DA which was US Soccers baby.

US Soccer will now control US Club HR IT and Finance. Since this is were ECNL and most of the smaller regional leagues are sanctioned (where they get player cards, etc) it means distractions  like BY to SY etc will all stop. There will be a single direction defined by US Soccer. USYS is like MLS and GA which essentially means they sanction themself. if USYS gives US soccer HR IT and Finance control it would mean that US Soccer could unify all youth soccer orgs in America. Again MLS and GA dont need to do any of this because they came from DA and US Soccer already controls them.[/quote]
One other thing technically ECNL could leave US Club and be sanctioned by someone else. GA used USSSA for a while. This would allow ECNL to thumb their nose at US Soccer. But I doubt this will happen. It's way too much work and if not done perfectly would cause serious issues with everything ECNL has built up to this point. It was easy for GA to change sanctioning because they're only girls and the league was newish at the time. But you never know what might happen. Thats why they say "If you dont like whats happening in youth soccer, wait a couple weeks"[/quote]
