https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/nwsl-submits-application-to-u-s-soccer-for-launch-of-division-ii-league-starting-in-2026/

According to the application, eight NWSL teams currently have teams lined up for a 2026 start: Bay FC, Kansas City Current, North Carolina Courage, NJ/NY Gotham FC, Orlando Pride, Racing Louisville, Seattle Reign and Washington Spirit.

"According to CBS Sports, all current NWSL teams will have a Division II team by the fourth year, which would correlate to 2029. However, teams that are unaffiliated with the NWSL “will also be welcome to join the Division II league at some point.”"

For those unaware MLSN has Academy teams who are associated with MLS pro clubs and non Academy teams in the same league.

NWSL just announced that Academies will happen. They've also stated that there will be other non Academy clubs involved in the league. This is basically MLSN. The only thing thats not announced is a partnership with a youth league.

A 2nd division league that's managed by NWSL costs $$$.

Partnering with GA the way MLS works with MLSN is free for NWSL outside of the Acadamies + you'd have a defined under contract pipeline of players.

No need to reinvent the wheel just copy MLSN.

A second division and academies are very different things. Second division is definitely needed quickly.

Academies are very expensive.

Then partner with GA and have them manage the 2nd division without acadamies. With this there's no cost at all NWSL.

You get the picture it's faster and cheaper to just partner with an already defined league then to create your own.

Here's the problem. What advantage is their to partner with GA versus partner with ECNL? None, and the player pool at ECNL is better. Just because a couple of MLS owners also own a NWSL team does not mean they are going to mirror the MLS model. Especially when there is not a demand among girls to play professionally in a second tier league for $40K a year.

Here is the most interesting thing to me. NC Courage which (with Portland Thorns) is the closest to at NWSL Academy has basically doubled-down this Spring on all things ECNL including just yesterday rolling out the Carolina Development League for girls to U10-U12 to mirro what's on the boys side in NC.

This back and forth is the feisty, looniness I come to this forum for. Keep it up!!

The DMV elite snob factor has gone down since Trump + DOGE blasted all the gov workers and made the ones left go into the office.

This is how you kick the loonies into overdrive

Don't worry, the absolute incompetence of the Trump administration will find its way to your doorstep soon. Not as many DMV peeps on this particular thread as GA/ECNL tryouts went down almost 2 months ago. Only the ones like me who enjoy the booms are left.

Did you write this from under your desk? Or maybe after you drove your Subaru home while wearing a mask...

What about these 5 ranked in order from 1-5?

FYI, it’s a SYC parent constantly spamming all of the GA stuff…

Anyway, I would think NVA probably comes in as the favorite, EVEN AFTER LOSING TOO TALENTS WHO MOVED TO ECNL Clubs. VRSC only has two good years. Same for SYC.

Solid ranking job. What age group did you base this on?

An average across u13-u19 age groups for girls.

It's silly to make a list like this without including age group. Clubs do not have consistent teams across ages. It only matters what the team in your player's age group is doing. Nobody cares what the other teams are doing in their own club.
