The question is how many of those DA ECNL clubs fell in love with ECNL and want to stay long term vs how many of those clubs believe in DA 2.0 (GA). I don’t have the answer but will be interesting to watch.
The way soccer has picked up for women in the past 3 years, I would expect for DA 2.0 to be a huge success.
How is soccer significantly different now than 3 years ago?
Viewership
Nwsl expansion
Tv deals
Come on now must I go on?
That’s great, what network is streaming GA games?
I guess I just thought a part of this groundbreaking NWSL/GA/US Soccer partnership that GA games would soon be streaming.

GA is hemorrhaging talent and filling the gaps with the leftovers. They just took in VRSC, a club who has shown zero success on a local level, never mind state, regional or national. Yeah, they have a great facility and poached some interesting coaches. But being GA isn't going to enable VRSC to compete with the local ECNL clubs, not when those who know are going to steer their players toward Union, VDA and NVA. Even Regional League is stronger than GA with the exception of the top-of-the-top, which includes dead-in-the-water FCV and Ukrainians, who are leaving for ECNL.
The numbers about ECNL don't lie: they place the most player at D1s, at P4s, and yes, at the pro ranks, both domestic and abroad. GA is second fiddle and it's not even close.
Let's stop acting like a sanctioning decision that has zero impact on where the talent will go will have any discernable impact on the youth soccer landscape.
Hahaha someone is scared...

Please, indulge me. What am I scared of?
906 D1 verbal commitments for the 2025 class, with a breakdown by platform:
ECNL: 663 (73.2%)
Girls Academy: 189 (20.9%)
All Others: 30 (3.3%)
Plus 24 from Canada.
Read the room. GA is a second class citizen and it ain't even close.
And the top half of GA Will go toe to toe with the best of the best from ECNL.
You sharing those numbers actually hurts ECNL. They lost 20% market share in a short 3 years
