G2010 - How’s the 2022 season going?

Looks like all other years are still listed in the standings, so it's only 2010. Whatever it is, it appears to be a specific team thing and not a club-wide thing.

I wonder if the Blues 2010 team opted not to go to Champions league so ECNL took them off the standings?

Kind of makes sense. Why travel to play the same level of teams you play locally. Also nobody is going to be recruiting an 11-12 year old.

If they were listed Sharks would likely not be going.

Champions League is already local for Blues. The first rounds will be in San Diego. I doubt Blues would skip the post season because Del Mar is too far to drive.

It's something else. AZ Arsenal is also missing.

Heads would explode if it comes out that Blues + Arsenal are considering leaving ECNL for something else.

For Arsenal it makes sense you could potentially play more local AZ games + not get blown out week after week.

Not sure what the upside is for Blues.

Let me tell you what the upside is for the Southern California Blues. NO MORE TRAVEL!! I know one of the Founders and I can say they never wanted to do the travel leagues. The Grooming Develop Academy (GDA) forced all the girls to travel across the country to beat up on teams and if they said no, they were kicked out, especially the ones who went to public school. Blues was 100% a no and even tried to persuade the fools at the top of GDA that it was not healthy for the kids and super expensive for the average family in Socal at big meetings. They were told to fu*k off and pay up or lose their business.

If SW worked like other ECNL conferences around the country...looks like Sharks would be in based on ppg.

Any idea why there are two sub leagues?

I'm with the thought process. Traveling to play teams that are exactly the same or worse than teams 30 minutes to an hour away makes no sense.

GA allows players to play HS now. They realized the mistake DA made and arent following in their footsteps. However the GA schedule does make playing in HS nearly impossible. (Which is probabaly the plan)

I guess if Blues did GA + participated in all the local SoCal ECNL Club tournaments theyd get the same results as they're getting now in ECNL. Also it would be easy to roll through Southwest GA except for 1-2 teams. Wins = easier to recruit players.

How so? From what I saw, the GA schedule broke for the high school season, and resumes this month.

I believe California HS Soccer season is November to March.

U15 GA Southwest held (some) league games + clubs practiced during this time.

The overlap wasnt huge but there would likely be situations where players had to make a choice between Club and HS.

I've never heard of a GA club in Southwest saying no to players playing for their HS. Also I've never heard of a GA club saying no to Futsal. I have heard of GA clubs saying no to guesting at other clubs.
 
Missing teams is simply because ECNL's software sucks....every off season this happens and a team for two disappears....nothing is going on with Blues and nobody is choosing to leave the ECNL.....though there is an AZ club that's getting booted.....
 
Sporting 2-0 over Breakers
Blues 2-1 over LAFC

Blues 3-1 over Sporting. Blues using a couple of key NL guests and Sporting will be missing a couple of pieces this weekend and a depleted bench.
