KC, Missouri... seriously who care what happens outside two coasts. With US soccer moving to ATL from CHI say its all. Midwest zzzzzzzz......
East Coast clubs can't compete top to bottom with Midwest.
What? I could possibly give you top, but top to bottom no way. There are some BAD MW teams.
There are some BAD East teams too.

I agree that any changes outside the area that your kids play in have little impact on their experience, but to imply that only the two coasts are important, ignoring some of the biggest hotbeds for soccer (TX, CO, MI, STL,CHI) is a wild take.

More to come, based upon the promotions in NJ, MI, OR I’m highly predicting NJ team (SJEB or STA - strongly feel it’s STA) and a Midwest/mid America team (Indy Premier or Columbus United - Indy Premier would be a big loss). Outlier could be someone from PacNW Spokane Shadow? I wouldn’t say dominant is the word for any of these teams but Indy Premier as initially reported, but all had a team at Champions Cup.
It seems clear they want to target teams for ECNL only and I think step 2 will be press on current members with MLS Next.
I think ECNL will lose that battle.

And that’s kind of big because we didn’t see them at Champions Cup. We just got the list of coaches that came to Generation Adidas cup too. The coaches know what they are doing and who they are looking for and when. GA knows what it’s doing too - and only 5 years in - it’s just the start. ECNL is clearly worried. But the competition seems to be bolstering both sides so … game on.

Interesting. They have also posted tryouts and some coaching slates for next season with GA/Aspire logo. Seems strange if they were planning a switch. Was this chosen by them or for them?

That clearly wasn’t even a defection; it was a demotion.
Comment section says it all.

You (or someone else) posted this previously.
-Those numbers are not close to accurate for ECNL or GA.
The registered numbers on the showcase website have never been accurate. Only the showcase organizers know who actually showed up. Real numbers that you cant get by looking at a website...for either league.
