Girls DA vs ECNL

She is bat sheet crazy when not taking her medication. The only people who benefit are her DD's coaching staff (i.e., preseason playing time).

I don't need to ride anyone's coattails but I won't get into my soccer or other sports resume. Please do yourself a favor and stay out of my beef with Zoro, Sweetsplat or anyone else. If you would like beef with me please PM me and we can measure each other's sporting accomplishments and our kids accomplishments and go from there. As a matter of fact check your inbox.

You are on a public forum talking trash about your daughters accomplishments in an amateur sport while belittling others with the same accomplishment...no private conversations here
Pls don't hand out checks that you cannot cash...don't go there, please...just go back a few months and take your own advice.
go take a bong rip or something and relax, you seem to be getting braver by the day
have a nice day
 
I love all this board. People will literally argue over anything.

Are you plagiarizing from Caliklines old posts promoting National League over ECNL?

CaliKlines and I respectfully did agree on everything. Ecnl is doing the job that GDA wants to now do, with the claim that it will be "the primary" path because ECNL isn't working ??? It's a money and power grab pure and simple! Especially since they are using some of the same clubs. Honestly they should continue to improve the boys side and get that right before they try with the girls.
 
I keep hearing that "ECNL" is doing the job so why do we need GDA? Yes, ECNL is great if you are well-off and live in a certain neighborhood. For other great players that don't have the extra $5,000-$10,000 per year or live far from the ECNL mecca of the world they don't have that opportunity.

DOC salary may not be "lucrative" by some standards but it sure pays better than some other jobs:

Average nurse salary: $63,000 - saves lives
average police officer salary: $67,505 - protects lives
average mental health therapist: $56,898 - keeps people safe and functioning in the world
average teacher salary: $67,610 - teaches people how to be smart, good people in the world
average DOC salary: over $140,000? - puts money in their pocket, playing off the dreams of children and manipulating parents.

I completely agree that a police officer, nurse or school teacher should make more money than any DOC, but the reality is that there are far fewer DOC's than teachers, cops or nurses. Just another example of capitalism at its best.

Does it make any sense that sports stars make millions upon millions for playing a child's game? While they provide entertainment for lots and lots of us, they don't save lives, protect lives or teach our children what really matters in life.

Back on point, ECNL is quite expensive and in turn excludes some very worthy players and parents (not to mention geographic limitations).

Players outside of Boys/Girls DA and ECNL can make it to YNT or college, but it is much harder to get noticed in those scenarios.

Free market.

The key word is "Primary". There are many states without a GDA with girls currently on the YNT or in the pool. So, will those girls no longer be needed based on geography? Sorry it's all propaganda, and top talent will be discovered regardless of league. Besides players and parents will have a say so about the process. I personally know several girls in private schools on scholarship for soccer. Will they stop playing high school, lose their scholarships, and play GDA because US Soccer said so?

Great point!
 
If current registration is with an ECNL team that will not be academy next year, but player would like to switch to an academy club, what is the process? When can a player be released from ECNL? Do they need to be released or can they just join a new club under the academy umbrella?

I could be wrong, but you can leave whenever you want. They are 2 different gaming circuits. ECNL has a roster freeze in May. If you are moving before the end of this season, I think it would come down to when the DA only club has their CalSouth roster freeze date (assuming that club is CalSouth).

Things become trickier if you are moving from one ECNL club to another or one Cal South club to another (as both have rules and deadlines as to if/when you can transfer).

If you are moving after both leagues are done, then all bets are off and you are free to do what you want.

If you are wanting to move to a DA club that is not ECNL currently, you are free. However, moving from ECNL to ECNL requires you to wait till May 1.
 
Does anyone think that there will be any more announcements about a few more DA clubs? Does Arsenal or Strikers have a chance of DA or are there enough clubs in the market with DA status?

Not necessarily! If both DoC's sign off on a "transfer" from one ECNL to the other and the commissioner approves, then one can move from one ECNL team to the other within the season. If the current DoC refuses the release, then the commissioner can over-rule. Not sure yet if their is an avenue for parents to state their argument to the commissioner. We definitely have an argument that will be making it's way to the commissioner if our DD's transfer request is rejected!

I would love to hear how that plays out. Please keep us all posted.

We'll definitely post if we are denied! We'll name names and all that! It's absolutely ridiculous that a coach can lie to your face repeatedly, take your -4K plus investment in your DD's future (for a single year) and then say something totally different.
