[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is strategic, not something that will happen overnight.

When DA folded, ECNL was there, established, and had positioned themselves to take over the girls game.

That is the position GA is in right now. No one knows where college will be in the next 3+ years. Last I heard they were wanting to be governed by US Soccer as well…

1000% true.

Eventually NWSL is going to need to focus on the quality of the product they put on the  field. Once this happens GA MLSN and US Soccer will be where they turn.[/quote]

Lol. Why the GA? [/quote]

Because ECNL has no interest in creating a pro pathway. Their biggest competitors
MLSN and GA have formed an alliance.

Think about what could happen next.

MLSN was applying pressure to their girls side by dangling the MLSN carrot to these clubs. ECNL then tried to rush this School Year change in hopes of stopping MLSN from chipping away.

It will all make sense in a couple of months.[/quote]

ECNL has produced most of the teenagers that have gone pro in NWSL. Why do you think ECNL does not want to produce pro players? An ECNL from Utah literally just signed a professional contract in Nwsl.

ECNL tried to rush the SY change in hopes of stopping MLSN chipping away?

Nothing you’re saying makes any sense. You do realize ECNL existed before girls DA? The clubs that went into girls DA were ECNL clubs. When the girls DA crumbled, ECNL took a lot of those clubs back and expanded.

You sound like a very bitter GA parent. Maybe a a GA coach or director?[/quote]

This is an open forum. There are plenty of open forums, websites, social media apps where this same exact discussion is taking place. And similar conversations are happening regarding what this means for the future of the sport.

To me, you sound like a scared ECNL parent. One with a kid on a lower end club.[/quote]

So no opinions are welcome unless they support yours? It’s an open forum, right? Posters are allowed to post common sense?[/quote]
“To me, you sound like a scared ECNL parent. One with a kid on a lower end club”
This about sums up the problem with youth soccer. Parents who actually think it’s some kind of dig to play for a “lesser” club. Now we know their motivation for their kid playing soccer is to have something to brag about. The funny thing is nobody is impressed by your kid’s soccer team. We’re really not. It just makes you look silly [/quote]
