If you can't understand the very large difference in number of college coaches at ECNL showcases/tournaments vs GA showcases/tournaments and the large discrepency in the number of ECNL girls in high level soccer colleges vs GA, we can't help you. The coaches are not just scouting Nationals, why is every GA hat so concerned with Nationals? College and USWNY scouts are scouting at almost every major ECNL showcase.

There is not a local GA team that could hold a candle to the ECNL talent in this area. So this move means that the quality of teams the Loudoun girls will be playing week in and week out will go drastically down. One of the best ways to get better is to play quality opponents. That is why we think ECNL is so much better for our daughter in THIS area. I know that you will respond with some nonsense that GA is the future because a couple of teams defected (forgetting about all the GA teams that moved to ECNL the last few years). But that is just speculation and the simple numbers of scouts and placement at colleges are facts.

MLS and GA will soon be DA.2.0


You will thank their leadership in a few years.

But DA failed so don't put the cart before the horse

The big difference now is that MLS is backing these leagues, and they’ve got some serious cash. These leagues are definitely here to stay!

NVA moved for a reason, this was a well thought decision. Change is happening.

this is the way

72 pages and 3 months ago you were informed of subject thread.

Of course, naysayers jumped quickly to laugh and denigrate. All the while, some club’s director lied to parents’ faces leading them to believe they were also being considered because they applied. Remember this when they dangle another carrot in front of you. Despicable and dishonest behavior.

Good luck in NCSL & EDP.
