ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

Assuming its all true, would ECNL rescind on the two team clubs to make room for additional members. The war is won, so there would be no need for them to 'negotiate' and nowhere else for those clubs to go.

SCDSL has a league for you then. And, AZ has two ECNL teams.

Why would I want SCDSL?

What I want is to let her play against the top teams close by. Not to watch her score a hat trick against the second tier every weekend until her skills sag for lack of competition.

Besides, I’m up in norcal. Next step down is ECNL regional or NPL. There isn’t much left once the ECNL/DA teams get on the plane and fly off.

If this is all true, whoever runs Real Colorado is the smartest man in soccer today......got two ECNL teams instead of going down with the ship.

How is it going down with the ship? The DA’s will have the same teams, same coaches. Just a different league.
The strong DA teams will just whoop everyone’s asses whether they are in the DA or ECNL or SCDSL. If they are a strong team, the league won’t matter.

If this is true, they have no league, and will be scrambling to find a new one. That's the entire point.

Good luck keeping all the players on those teams. I hope you gots a good TM Sandy. SW ECNL top league will be very tough. We need to know if Beach, Legends and Surf are joining? I haven;t heard much from that side lately. Boys?

I'm not sure DA is any stronger than many ECNL or NPL teams in NorCal now. I guess it depends on the age but all DA did was remove themselves from playing a variety of teams and adding a bigger cost to their soccer budgets. Flying to Salt Lake, Phoenix or Seattle to play a game, when there's 5 equally strong teams within a 90 minute drive, is complete foolishness in my opinion. For what... the patch?

I didn’t care too much about Seattle or Phoenix, but watching some of those Texas girls was amazing. Some future WNT players for sure. That was worth it!

The players will leave those clubs if DA ends, and ECNL does not pick them up.

Our trips to Texas to play FC or Solar DA teams were well worth it but then it was followed up by going to play the Kansas/Missouri/Oklahoma "DA" teams
 
Glenn Crooks on XMFC tweeted about it today. Both boys and girls possibly going away. Announcement from the leagues tomorrow possibly.

This Glenn Crooks?

There are rumblings in the soccer community that the US Soccer Development Academy - on the girls AND boys side - may be terminated.
