It’s GA hoodies. And yes that is the rumor NWSL reserve teams. This will provide an opportunity for a handful of girls to be in this environment but will probably still be comprised of physically mature and hardened college girls. They are not partnering with any youth league lol!

It will be a reserve team. Not a full-blown academy system or club. It will be one team at a level underneath their first team.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, GA visors.

5 NWSL clubs have academies already.
-3 Are in ECNL
-1 Is in GA
-1 Is not in either

Things could change, but no solid announcements have been made.

Surprised the Spirit, with Kang’s backing, have not started a program yet.

Seems like NWSL as already started affiliating itself with one of the leagues.

Just saying…GA truthers just don’t seem to recognize the truth even when it is right on in front of them.

Someone smarter than me, please (I know, not saying much). Any truth to the rumor that GA is going to align itself with NWSL in some capacity? Heard some talk, but nothing concrete/in writing. Thanks in advance, Soccer Mom
