SSS will field Impact teams but they are also joining GA Rising. So Impact will either be the third tier players or they'll just have the GA R team play in both leagues....Comment

The top team (Skyblue) best players will be the GA rising. The next best group (third team) will be the new Skyblue impact. Then they back fill the navy impact team but heard that navy team is not playing in impact league they are called navy impact but might play in NECSL.Originally posted by Guest View Post
like Scorpions, Select has gotten an influx of players at tryouts from Bolts South and Juve etc now that they have GA and GA rising. Bolts is going to be next club to lose the girls side.Comment

Impact is dying. Not sure if it’s DOA. If it is, well, what happens to Select impact teams? Sure the top Skyblue team was offered GA rising, but what about those who only have impact offers? They are now NECSL teams? Bummer.Comment

Select isn’t being transparent on this. They say GA rising is the plan for the top Impact players and those cut from GA. But then the rest are told they are on an Impact team, have an Impact contract with no clarity on if it’s navy (lower team) or (Skyblue) top impact team. They will just sort it out over the summer after they figure out what to do with the new girls from Bolts South? Last summer we were told it would get sorted over the summer and we didn’t know until Labor Day weekend which team our kid was on. Are we in NECSL and there is only one impact team or no impact league? Nobody knows.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Unclear whether you are a real parent. But there’s every reason to rely on Select getting this sorted out. They always do.
They can’t know the answers to every such question right now, while tryouts and player decisions are still underway. The league changes also slow things down.
If a player expects to be on an Impact team, she will be on an Impact team or the equivalent.
The tough part IMO isn’t the league question, it is not knowing the coach and the players on the team.
Talking to other parents always helps. Try to talk to the club or coach.Comment

When do they tell the kids if they are on GA rising or Impact?Originally posted by Guest View Post
Are you serious? It will all get sorted out? Write a check for over $3,600 and just throw it to fate? To sign a contract you should know team, league, coach and players. The league by the way is very important to know. Who pays $3,600 to be in NECSL? And like any club there are good coaches and bad. Coaches who show up and coaches who don’t. I want to know what I’m paying for. Ask the coach??? Like we haven’t? Vague replies if any.Comment

OK, then. Not a real parent.Comment

Absolutely a real parent 2009 impact.Comment

There still hasn’t been any official announcement from GA about GA rising. Willing to bet GA Rising is not going to ever come to fruition.Comment

GA Rising was officially announced May 15. Below is a link to the GA Twitter account, the images list the North and South Division clubs.

It’s also on club websites, and clubs are signing contracts with players for GA Rising teams. Which is easy to do, as they are existing teams that will practice in the same locations, with the same coaches, with similar travel (mostly in eastern New England). Families are understandably very positive. Those that were wondering about trying other club options are staying put because of GA Rising. Players thinking about joining can meet the coach and players and see the team’s performance in past games.
There is a rumor that NEFC will also have a team in GA Rising. If true, that would make 3 local clubs with teams better than the MA teams in the current ECNL RL New England league.
Speaking of leagues that can’t get off the ground - Where’s the official list of clubs that will be in the new ECNL RL Northeast North Division? Oh right, there isn’t one. It’s just something that might happen, and the best case scenario is there is a North Division, made up of clubs to be named later in NY, NJ, NH, MA, RI, and CT.Comment
