[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Promotion / regulation will NEVER work in a pay to play model. It works in the professional ranks because of paid contracts. In the amateur ranks, all the best kids will leave the team/club as soon as it is regulated.  The club will not be able to attracted the top kids and will forever remain regulated. This is not debatable. This is exactly what will happen despite your philosophical beliefs.

2. The GAL was formed by Tophat to save face. Tophat is losing players. The former #1 club in America was regulated and players are leaving for neighboring ECNL clubs. There is your test case in regulation.

3. The NJ GAL clubs are also losing their kids to neighboring ECNL clubs. Again, here is your test case in regulation (Because you obviously need one)

4. GAL is a league. Nothing more. The former DA clubs that didn't get into ECNL could have gone into EDP, an established league with a national platform. It already existed. However, once again, egos were in play and clubs like Tophat and FCV knew they would lose their players to ECNL clubs is that happened.

Well that has not really happen here. The girls are staying put at least this year and most likely next year. Most of the area ecnl teams are pretty weak in the DMV. If the other areas clubs who were better to beginning with are now a lot better it will be rough for the local ecnl teams going forward. [/quote]

Yeah. You have repeated this 100 times on multiple threads. We know your stance. Its become propaganda at this point. Your kid plays GAL or you coach GAL. Either way, you're affiliated with GAL and you are hoping for the best. Here is EXACTLY how is going to play out. Ready?

1. The recruited kids (03-above) for GAL are staying put. 
2. The almost recruited kids for GAL (04's) are staying put. Majority are rising Juniors.  
3. The 05's will stay put this year and after playing a years worth of horrible competition, will leave next year. (Your "reassessment" year) 
4. The 06's and below (and for the remainder) will be all ECNL after next year. (You're "reassessment" year)
