Sounds like you're someone who is not from one of the clubs moving, and phishing for info to create convo


Sounds like you are wrong. If you don’t want to answer than keep it moving.

Def will be than ECNL….

I think there will be mass realignment.
The south Central conference has about 6 teams (AL, SFL, NC). It makes no sense.

I think ECNL and GAs goal is to give Florida their own conference.

All it does is confuse and pollute parent’s unrealistic ambitions for their kids. It doesn’t feel great but moving with our feet to ECNl before there are no rosters spots left is what my conclusion has become. GAL will be great for many but at this point too many teams, it’s basically a higher level EDP league now.


If ECNL ends up with only the strongest clubs, that will be great. Until the limited clubs get tired of the travel

Cleveland force SC (Ohio) to GA
Pipeline SC to GA…..


For now

I know of several more and as others have said if MLSN forces GA on clubs that's another 5-10.

Boys ECNL isn't doing well. Eventually bigger girls clubs will switch to MLSN + GA for a better boys league. The first ones in will get the best deals.

It's ironic how much all this parallels what happened with DA.

Definitely a win for the GA but ECNL will be the top dawg for a few more years. But if a girl wants to play college soccer I have seen success with both platforms
