Top leagues for clubs are ECNL (boys and girls) and MLSN and GA. Argue away as to which of those top leagues are better (hint - it’s all regional). But there is no debate that those are the top level leagues. Are there better teams in RL, than NL and GA? Of course. But the league is not a top league.

Well said. NL and GA provide more exposure. I mean TSJ attended 3 National Events and local RL clubs maybe went to Jeff Cup.

Bumping this specific question

N/M just saw the girls aspire standings. No chance promotion to regular GA there. ENCLR for girls, or boys leaving ECNL for MLSN 2?

if you're talking MAS, it's only Carolina Core, FC Richmond and VB Rush that don't already have GA

Carolina got the bump
FC Richmond is in ECNL HQ territory, so prob not happening
VB rush was right behind CC

with the move of TSJ down, that makes 10 in Aspire

Yes 10 in Aspire next year for MA South. Carolina Core and TSJ swapped GA/Aspire spots and then Riverbend was added to Aspire.

typical of ga. they are barely surviving. not enough teams registered so they have to keep redoing the schedule. begging teams to come with discounts. but with the terrible fields, they should just close a few down. the fields right now are in terrible shape.

Norco vs Missouri or IMG vs Missouri or NC vs Missouri? Which terrible fields do you speak of? Asking g for a friend

Ignore the PP. This is the ECNL hat dad who posts incessantly about GA. Most parents don't think twice about GA. It's the one's whose kids are on the bubble at their ECNL team who think about GA and punch down on it to make themselves feel better about their kid's situation.

Playoffs are not a registered event - only so many teams make playoffs. this is not a showcase. nobody is registering for playoffs.

You were probably in a showcase GA club. The likes of St.James, NVA and Co.

This is NVA's first year in GA, so obviously it wasn't them

Also, if you have a 2011 daughter and you just joined ECNL this year, it would make sense you had coaches at your games this year as they are u15. the last three years you would have been u12, u13 and u14 and no college coaches would be scouting those games. So nice try attacking GA again. Noboby is watching ECNL girls at U12, U13 and U14. at U14, maybe 4-6 coaches but likely not at a showcase.

marketing. sure. but facts matter. I am sorry you are bigly mad. My daughter's team yesterday had 126 college coaches at their game. don't care what you ga's say.

Who a photo. Pick a number that is believable. What team is your DD on that would justify 126 college coaches at a game. A field is 120 yards long. about 35 of those yards are used by the team bench area, center tent, official, etc area. That leaves 85 yards for 126 coaches. Even at 2' space they would have to be lined up on top of each other. No college coach is sitting on the parent side, so don't use that excuse.

I'm sure there were a lot of coaches - but 126 ... come on. Your DD has to have 18 P4 players it sounds like.

126 at one game! Wow! Did you count them all or did they count themselves out-loud! Sounds like every kid on both teams should have their pick of at least 5 college each!
