Go look at TFA and their history. There will be a shake up.

It’s still February….They are still working on the DMV….dont speak too soon.
Even if these were GAs only moves this period, that’s an A + considering how things went last year.
nah, I would give it a B. no big/powerful ECNL to GA teams have dropped as of now.
Not even a B. What have they really done? Added middling and lower ECNL or DPL teams? Not impactful nationally. Big ripples locally as we further water down NOVA and go from 7 "elite" teams to 9 "elites" now, but doesn't change the national balance of power at all.
Let’s look at Mid Atlantic 2012 age group.
National Standings
NVA - 31
SJEB - 18
SYC - 45
REAL FA - 67
Not a bad start.

More likely its to break the snobbyist most vocal parents from ECNL then work their way out.
Clubs in places like Socal are more about results which makes them harder to bring over.
TFA getting into GA for girls in SoCal is going to shakeup that area

Probably about a year away before you see something like that.

Also VA ECNL tryouts is March 1st. Start with the earliest, and then move down your list as each tryout month approaches...

Well said, its almost a leveling back to where everyone was two years ago. GA had a lot of ground to make up after last year. Scales are potentially starting to tip in their favor this year, but theres still a scale with another viable option on it and no one outside of Loudoun Co. crying over NVA departure, trust.

Maybe they will give PWSI/VDA/VSA 3 GA teams to get them!
Doubt it... But when VDA gets accepted into MLSN next year, they'll get at least 1 GA team.

More likely GA will give clubs 1 year of no dues to GA if clubs switch over.
$$$ solves "problems".
