ECNL could have done this for several years and chose not to.

As soon as one girls ECNL trades for MLSN and GA the floodgates will open.

Yup… all it takes is for one.

All it takes is for one club like FC Delco with a very strong MLS Next program to fall.

Most clubs would drop the MLS to keep the ECNL.

Hahaha. Says ECNL dad.

He’s an idiot. IMO

Clubs would lose more giving up MLS Next for ECNL than Giving up ECNL for GA.

GA still puts plenty of kids in college. And if these ECNL clubs say they are much better than GA clubs, then they should have no problem getting into champions cup and playoffs.

Look up how many teams have mls next and ECNL. Look up how many teams have GA and ECNL. I’ll let your mind do the rest of the work.

Now I'm confused. Say what?

Only club around here that already has MLSN and GA together is everyones favorite SYC. Does this make them more stable and prepared for the long haul? Or does it not matter because nobody actually wants this combo because the MLSN and ECNL combo u=is preferred? Does it mattter, I don't think it does but if you are trying to integrate training and methodologies and want to give players cross training opportunities at all levels. I"m no genius but one combo does make more sense if they are already partnered.

In the past one could say that girls ECNL was better than GA and that MLSN was better than boys ECNL…

This alliance now makes GA/MLSN = ECNL…possibly better if it becomes the only path to the pros.. you see there…

You can no longer just compare ECNL to GA. You will have to compare ECNL to the Alliance

The main path to NWSL for youth players has been ECNL. Hard to see that changing anytime soon. MLSNext is a boys league

No, the main path to NWSL has been college. ECNL is the main path to college. There is no special link between ECNL and NWSL. I think that's the open space here to provide an alternative path to NWSL that isn't just college.

There are only so many truly MLS Academy teams out there, but there are many pay to play MSL Next teams.

On the womens side, where are they true aligned academy programs and I saw NCFC get cited. There are pathways but are there programs that allow signings and players to work with a senior team and play with the regular youth club team?

You are starting to see this on the USL men's side with USL-A teams and players working with the senior USL squad.

There's a ton of movement now in the soccer landscape - the traditional college route is going to look very different with roster limits, the financial settlement, NIL, etc.

Will be interesting to see where this all goes.

Everything will consolidate under MLS. Not tomorrow but within a decade, tops. That said, there will always be a need for sturdy leagues where kids are just playing for the love of the game and camaraderie. NCSL is one, ECNL will be another.

Correctomundo. And those that don’t go to NWSL still go to college

Anonymous wrote:SYC is the only local team that has MSL Next and GA. What does that really mean? While on the surface it sounds great for SYC marketing department. If we look further into it, could this be a sign of trouble. SYC girls have always been weak while the boys have been stronger.
No other team in the area cares for GA.
SYC is currently looking to see how much to increase their league fee since they are so 'elite' and is the 'only' only who has MSL Next and GA.
