ECNL expansion 2021-2022

Just heard RSL-AZ is dropping GA/DPL and going ECNL/ECRL and Arizona Arsenal is launching ECRL on the girls side.

Props to Desert Hound ... he called it.

Wow... never thought RSL would drop GA, but honestly they would have a big drop in quality if they tried to do 4 teams per age level.
Well this year Royals rolled through a very weak GA SW division.

GA SW just got a lot weaker.

Now we await word on Beach and Legends?

So is it just the one AZ club coming in? If Beach & Legends are in I bet it will be 18 total, not 17 in the SW, and then potentially split in half.

No word yet on del Sol.

I have been thinking for a long time when ECNL adds to SW they split it into a north and south so to speak.

Hound Dog knows his stuff. A true legend who knows the landscape like none other. Happy is on the know as well so good peeps to gather gossip and truth. DH hooked me up with a romantic get away place to take my wife on a hot date. Thanks pal :) We still have our bet on the table and I added a free appetizer to the winner as well. So two drinks and free nachos. I still owe Eagle.

Kicker? Tech? Come on fellas, give up the goods? We need to talk soccer and this is great stuff to try and figure out.

Word is coming real soon there my brother, but ECNL will be the ones to make it..... it will be interesting to see if the SW Conference splits in to divisions of 8 and 9 or they look to add one more for the 2021-2022 season to make it an even 9 and 9......Del Sol makes geographical sense giving 4 Arizona clubs but SD Surf have enough talent for two strong teams so we will have to see.............
 
Not in every age group
This was as of early Nov. With the exception of the U15 age group, Royals have completely dominated the SW GA.

(also to put this in perspective...last year in the DA the club had an overall losing record and giving up a ton more goals vs goals scored. It highlights how weak the GA SW division is/was this year). You don't magically start rolling everyone unless your competition went elsewhere...in this case ECNL.

Lots of SoCal GA teams didn’t even get a game in so there is that to consider as well.

The 06 age group is the one I am talking about. There is no denying the competition in GA SW is not up to what the DA was or where ECNL is now.
 
until now the ECNL teams in PHX have been fairly isolated. Rising in the North and Arsenal in the East. With RSL coming in having a presence in both areas wonder if we will see kids swapping clubs with regularity.

Curious, did you hear about your club’s admission through the grapevine or did the club announce it already?

It has already been happening for some time.

There tends to be more flow between RSL and Rising. Not much flow between Rising and Arsenal. And a little between Arsenal and RSL.

Yes it did. Let's see if the GA adds any of the clubs that have applied for membership in the SW. They've been announcing new clubs left and right, wonder if they've been waiting for RSL's announcement.

The writing was on the wall - consolidate platforms, only makes sense.

Its an imminent rumor among the parents. Somebody heard it from someone in the know. That sort of thing. Anyone hear about Arizona Arsenal doing ECRL for girls? There was supposedly a tweet about this?
