[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me why a league adding more clubs is a bad thing?

If the clubs being added are high level there will be competition and maybe different clubs would go to the finals.

If the clubs being added are lower level there won't be added competition and the same dominate clubs will go to the finals.

From a high level recruitment perspective adding more clubs to a league doesn't change anything. The same top clubs get recruited regardless of league.[/quote]

Adding low level clubs dilutes the talent pool. Ideally, you would encourage the best players to leave low level teams and come together on higher level teams. This encourages them to remain with their current clubs. Just in NOVA, you now have three GA teams. Are there really enough girls choosing GA over ECNL to fill out all of those rosters with even regionally let alone nationally competitive teams?  [/quote]
Yes, but why is diluting the talent pool bad? Bad for who? Isn’t it good for the clubs and the players that get to participate?[b] The top players are still the top players and they will get seen just as much[/b], they’ll just have fewer other top players on their team. What is your concern about having more teams in a league?[/quote]

Will they? [/quote]

Won’t matter for the elite ballers cause they should be pros by 17 if the current trends continue. It’s getting down to single digits of USWNT u17 players who are choosing college over pro contracts at this point. GA or ECNL? Who cares? Does your kid features and play for a team that will be at a showcase, next! It’s on them now not the league they played in as MS early HS teenager[/quote]

It's on the league to have showcases that are worth it for scouts to attend. [/quote]
