The challenge here is

1. Local clubs that have prohibited other local clubs from joining. How do they react when their rivals join?

2. Does a new league come from all of this?

We should root for clubs like the Stars. Making talented kids travel for hours for days/weeks to join a top-tier club is not healthy for them.

U14 - 9th place out of 12 teams


And their undefeated U13 team with an 83 to 3 GD? Funny how you keep leaving them out.


I'd say the Nationals are busy trying to poach those players with their propaganda war.


Rumor is that group is leaving stars, no clue where to. But, what propaganda? Nationals are a top club, seems pretty obvious, we’d all love to have them here in this area.


Oh, I guess the Stars are really good at development? Better poach their players before they can actually compete on a national stage. SMH.

He claims a GA Director told him this. He’s probably getting played.

Why would a GA director tell the guy who wears 2 ECNL hats at the same time anything?


He says things like this, which creates a lot of noise and recognition, which increases his audience. Rinse, repeat. Thats how you get those followers.

explain how ecnl is "tearing" down ga

It's really just ECNL parents... If GA adds a "bad team" It's GA watering itself down and getting weaker, but when ECNL adds "bad teams" it's ECNL getting stronger

Its the power of the ECNL hat. Every other club add is watering down. When ECNL does it the they're empowered. They say the same thing every time.

The irony is GA and ECNL are nearly identical. Theres 20 or so top clubs in ECNL that do well. If your kid isnt playing for these clubs everything is the same.

Maybe they won't now that the club has been promoted to GA.

Are you not seeing these mediocre clubs pushing the same ECRL is better than GA propaganda? But won’t share the # of D1 players each league produces?
