Very few instances of cross-competition between the two. And even less between the ECNL and GDA clubs in this area. Get back to your homework.


Why so many morons on this board?

Per GDA vs ECNL, I did not say that the clubs play each other every week but know that they have played each other in select showcase events/tournaments this past year. The Penn Fusion Showcase was the main one I am aware of but there were others.

Look, if you don't have anything of value to add then just back off. I am tired of the stupidity.


Penn Fusion 2019 schedule http://events.gotsport.com/events/Default.aspx?eventid=67761

Doesn't look like McLean was at Penn Winter Showcase. So not head to head but your research is based on that?

Did your DC actually go to an ECNL tryout? Just making sure we all on the same page


Yes of course, I'm not sure why you think I would expect an ECNL offer if child didn't go to an ECNL try-out?? We have a back-up at a different club but keeping fingers crossed.

Done the homework without a horse (or dog) in this race? Why? How? What specific race by the way? Do you have a DD playing in ECNL or GDA?

Just researching Girls Soccer across 2 leagues in nova for fun?.. cringe

Trying to comprehend this. You do understand that ECNL and GDA don't compete against each other right?

I don't think so. Club said rolling offers through at least first ten days of May.

ECNL II is not being rolled out this year for NOVA teams.


It impacts the MD teams next year. The "B" teams will play in ECNL II, which will mirror the same schedule as the ECNL I teams.

Main positive for clubs is more $$$.

Main positive for B team players is that presumably they will have more chances to play up with A team since both A team and B team will be playing same opponents on same day at the same location. For example, if A team has some injuries, illnesses or conflicts with its players not being able to play, then it is much easier for B team girls to fill in. Perhaps some clubs will even take a more academy-style approach to their rosters for A and B teams for games each weekend, but I doubt it.

Main negative for B team parents and players is increased $$$ and increased travel on away weekends.


CCL I and CCL II with much more travel. Asking B team families to pay 5-7k per child is a joke when their local competition is just good enough for 1.5-2.5k (including team fees).


BINGO! And the DA will be the next league to do the same garbage. DA and DA2. And I say this as someone who thinks the DA is the best option available.


DA on the girls side is going to rank its teams into two tiers. (That is different than having two DA teams for a single club.)
