New ECNL Clubs

Still, it's hard to imagine any business with such absolute monopoly power can fail so miserably.

GDA obituary isn't written yet, but when it is, a chapter will be written on getting shanked by some of Laver's board members' clubs less than one year after the launch of GDA. That kinda looked like a well thought out ambush, and it exposed some of the fatal flaws in USSF's plans to take their boys' model and drop it on top of the girls' pyramid, without much sense of the differences between those two worlds.

ok so this same thing happened last year when eagles switched to ECNL, everyone thought DA was finished and said EVERY da club would switch.

Eagles < (less than) Real Colorado. But your point regarding SoCal is very true. Didn't mean to pee in your guys' sandbox. GDA in SoCal is very strong, but if it gets much weaker everywhere else, what is the point of USSF running a national league?

Much blame to go around. Where two fight, no ones right

This is the socal soccer forum so why are we discussing how great the competition is outside of socal when you will barely play that club? DA is the most competitive league in socal but nationally I agree not so much. Real colorado leaving DA was a big blow nationally but dalla texans not so much as they are dead last in two age groups and middle of the pack in the others. If the pitch to play ecnl is all the top competition you will play outside of socal, is that even what a player would want? You play really weak competition in league but there is a possibility of you playing a top team in a showcase if both of you go. 80-20 rule. Isn't it better for development if you play tough competition 80% of the time as is the case with DA locally or is it better to play tough competition 20% of the time when you travel to showcases as is the case with ecnl? If a legends, beach, surf, etc go to ecnl...then there is a shift for best league in SOCAL soccer but until that happens I don't see it, especially with blues going all DA. My two cents.

Blues going all DA is a new one.....I've heard the opposite.......showcases are where the college coaches are out so good games are important.....but honestly both DA and ECNL have the top talent split between them which aint the best thing for the kiddos however you dice it

I'm heading down to TJ to meet up with @MacDre and freaking @Luis Andres and @Hodari. My wife speaks Espanol and were in Rosarito all the time :) Peace to you Fact. As the soccer world changes, so do I. I look to bring peace to all my brothers and sisters in the USA!!!!

I want to warn everyone of the power of Fact before I leave. I came here ranting and waving and asking for help from my soccer family brethren here at the Socal Fabulous Soccer Forum last year. It was Fact, yes Fact, that triggered me into more rants and I still come back for more. I try to leave and then he pops in. The mystery uncle he is.

"Washed up soccer dad" I pray I never ever get labeled that.
 
Getting this thread back on track, there's no other way to spin it but that big/major clubs are rejecting the US Soccer league model on the girls side--Real Colorado and Dallas Texans just the latest two. Clubs are listening to their families who are saying that the US league is too restrictive for girls.

For SoCal, the question shouldn't be which league is better, but is ECNL good enough to make my daughter better. Because it's SoCal, the answer is "yes".

Although league environment in terms of competition are a part of a players growth/development. It is more about the Coach and training environment.
 
As many have pointed out, there’s also a large blank spot in the SoCal ECNL map from Santa Monica to the OC Great Park. That means there’s a minimum of 1.5 to 2+ hours in the car RT to get to a program. People do it, but it seems like a burden on the kids.
