There's 5 teams, including PPA. Not bad. At least they don't travel 5 hours to NC.

5 games per season is pretty few. I wonder if they’ll do a cross over with some of the Nova teams.


5 MD teams and 3 PA teams, 8 teams total. The IG post was taken down so maybe more changes coming.

Here is where you'll be traveling in mid atlantic south division for Aspire
Local games against Mclean, Revolution, SYC, Loudoun, Alexandria
Then a game in Virginia Beach, Richmond, and North Carolina (2x)


Probably 1 trip to NC for a double header. Seems to be how ecnl does it so it may be similar setup.

Assume you will play each team once and teams from Nova will have once trip to NC and one to Va Beach or Richmond.

Yes been documented several times the GA level conference will be NC and VA. Question was about the tier 2 GA-Aspire conference would should be geographically smaller than the GA conference to limit travel.


It's possible but if already driving to VA Beach, is there much of a difference in going to NC?


Even VA Beach is a long drive for what at least at the start of this new league is likely to be EDP-level play.


OK but EDP travels to VA Beach now so it's still the same for those participating clubs.

Has anyone figured out who Black Diamond FC is was announced yesterday as GA2? There seems to be a black diamond soccer club in PA? Would that be someone MD teams would travel to play? I am assuming it is too far north?
