I am sorry but I just understand the ga's thinking. you try to tough yourself as an elite league, top girls league in the nation. clubs promote it as the best league in the country and then your additions are really bad clubs. even the perception is just off with these new teams. its getting too watered down.

Maybe… I would say most clubs don’t change anything and carry on as business as usual until the deal is final.
Which it obviously is not yet or ECNL would be posting.


Which of these clubs have not posted anything about tryouts?

The Soccer Chance 2013 team did have an +80 goal differential after 12 games in Aspire. So you could argue they "proved potential" within GA's tiered system. Combined with the 4 new open spots from Oregon clubs leaving, it makes some sense. And they probably don't rank as highly since they were stuck playing Aspire teams all year...

It's really because MLSNext told them to hit the road because of repeated poor performance and club leadership instability and uncertainty. They didn't choose to leave MLSNext, they just had no choice.

I think the funny part in all this is that if your kids clubs sucks in ECNL, your team will most likely suck in GA.

All those clubs that left GA (PAC NW) - sucked in ECNL, sucked in GA, and will now go back to sucking in RL.

When you all realize that the club matters more than the league…

Highest "ranked" team in the 400s... moving from Aspire

All teams from the Nortwest are terrible. They're also isolated. Most likely GA is trying to create a local league so players dont have to fly to California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado for league games.
