[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]th appears to be in a strong position regardless of the outcome.

Scenario 1: The club remains in the Girls Academy (GA) and continues operating as it currently does, with the boys remaining in ECNL.

Scenario 2: The club stays in GA on the girls’ side, while the boys transition to MLS Next. This scenario would likely create competitive tension with local ECNL Clubs.

Scenario 3: The girls move to ECNL with two teams per age group, while the boys remain in ECNL.

Each of these paths allows the club to maintain a high level of platform placement and competitive positioning.[/quote]

I don’t see them getting two ECNL spots (Nationals had 2 GA and only got 1 ECNL, Lonestar had 2 GA and only got 1 RL).  It seems th GA is rewarding more clubs with 2 spots, and ECNL seems to be going away from that (a couple 2 club programs have lost their second spot).

That maybe a deal breaker for Tophat.  It’s a tough debate either way I am sure.[/quote]

there is no "deal breaker" for Tophat. Tophat has been begging along with very, very vocal parents trying to get back into ecnl every year. [/quote]
Top hat has not been begging to get into ECNL. There are some parents that started a Kickstarter campaign to get into ECNL. But the club itself doesnt care and will be successful in whatever league they play in.[/quote]

as a parent who had a kid playing in the ecnl for tophat then da and my youngest daughter played da at tophat and now a GRANDAUGHTER playing at tophat yes tophat is BEGGING to get back into ecnl.  [/quote]

Dang - we got grandparents trolling these boards. Let it go.

And no - TH is not begging to get back into ECNL. FOMO parents in the area might wish they were, but know that TH is a much better club top to bottom than all the other Atlanta area clubs. [/quote]

Only elite clubs can survive in a market full of ecnl badges.

City SC, NEFC, and LOU FUSZ are the only others.[/quote]

1. Maybe only elite GA clubs can THRIVE in an ECNL dense market, but lots of clubs survive just fine.  Only so many kids are at the level to play top tier soccer, and most (larger) clubs have something for every player level.
2. LF wasn’t even a champions club team until Lonestar left their conference.  They may be on their way to being elite, but imo, they are not there yet.  Have some elite teams and players, yes.  But elite club is a bit of a stretch.[/quote]

How many legit, legit Elite clubs are there in the country? 20? then 21-40? then 41-100? then everyone else depending on age group. And the top 250 clubs are still light years above the next 700 and those are light years above the next 1000.
