No idea. But there seem to be several that have announced internally but GA hasn't posted on Instagram.

What teams are we hearing about ?

Gotta be Rangers , right? They have a solid girls program

TFA I’ve heard rumors of , but I don’t remember them having much of a girls program

Murietta becomes CIty SC Southwest for next season right , so three City SC teams in GA ?

Sounds about right there might be others.

In San Diego the new SDFC MLS club has been looking for boys youth club to partner and create a MLSN Academy with. City has MLSN but is really far away. Surf has Wave practicing on their fields and a central location but isn't equipped to handle boys soccer. (the way they'd want to be) So it will be interesting to see how SDFC plays out. If they partner with a youth club that club would probably be GA for girls.

Currently most clubs run their top team as fenced garden that only the privileged few can enter. Which kind of defeats the purpose of having a 2nd team if you're never going to invest or pull up from the 2nd to 1st teams.

Its a business. Why pull up the deserving kid that's already paying when you can get a kid that is new to the club and is new money. Its honestly really sad about how this all works. Its nice when you get to the top of the heap but its definitely a battle if you don't start there.

Do we think they will go straight into the main GA conference or put in GA Aspire first? They might do this to make a statement about the club pathway from DPL - GA Aspire - GA.

I'd be pretty shocked if any newly invited/promoted clubs (e.g. Rangers being the one folks seem to be betting on) got anything but GA. For them to be placed in Aspire would sound like a big nothingburger unless I am thinking about this all wrong.

Current GA clubs of course don't have 15-20 girls lying around on the cusp of GA-level but a little better than DPL. Their current DPL teams are going to be who form Aspire, and then they will regenerate DPL with NPL/Flight 1/new recruits (further diluting Socal's older age groups). If Rangers were to be "promoted" to Aspire, they would be basically be playing against all the same teams again, and that is certainly not what they were led to believe the next step would be when they joined DPL.

I could see the pathway described above coming into play at some point - but to do it this year wouldn't seem to make sense. That said, while I am not of course an insider, I am sure anyone who was a part of the SD Force girls program could have a few things to say about the path...given they were not promoted to GA while City got a second team not too far away.

SD Force should have been GA all along. That was ridiculous. I'm not an insider, either, so I wonder what politics kept them out. Likewise for Rangers, if they are not promoted to GA immediately.
