        It doesn't mean a thing. They're just playing under a different umbrella. The league and clubs under the GA umbrella don't change

            Ok, so GA is now under the umbrella of US Soccer, same as all the women’s professional teams and the US Women’s National Team. I don’t know if anything will actually change in the GA program or not. Time will tell. It could be just a marketing gimmick.

            Is anyone able to clarify which organization sanctions the ECNL program, or are the ECNL girls also under the US Soccer?

              USSF is the top

              ECNL is US Club
              US Club is USSF
              GA has now aligned with USSF
              USYS also falls under USSF

              in the grand scheme, US Club and USYS compete.

              GA has now entered the fray, which includes ASYO, SAY, USSSA, US Club and USYS.

              Its all stupid, dont think you are special.

                My kid plays in GA and I found the announcements about becoming a US Soccer member weird and unnecessary. Apparently the GA, unlike more than 100 other soccer associations of various sorts, wasn’t already a US Soccer member. Now they are, but it’s hard to imagine that making a difference for them or anyone else.

                  Sorry, which one isn’t special? You’ve mentioned so many.

                    But yeah, definitely too many leagues out there. It should all be one league for youth soccer with promotion and relegation.

                      You can't really use pro/rel in the youth sports because the teams might be completely different from one season to the next.

                        Interesting… you can’t do it, yet it’s done in Europe very successfully.

                          It likely means that they can now card players themselves instead of relying on USSSA. In other words, they get to keep the revenue so it’s more $$$. That’s about the only impactful factor of this. It doesn’t really affect anything else. It’s good for the league, it means squat for the families.
