Rather than arguing about mergers, GA/NL/ECNL/MLSNext, why don't we try to raise the level of all the entire soccer landscape? If you want your program to rise, you want your kid to play with the best. I can look around on websites and instagram, and so can you, or we can start a comprehensive list of trial dates, locations and links to sign up?
I'll start with a program my kid isn't in. (Girl player Mom, not for ASA)
