    If they push too hard they will get burned. Plenty of carding orgs and insurance solutions for youth sports. No reason they couldn't go it alone and follow FIFA LoTG with no input from USSF. What other sport in the USA controls youth leagues?

        Nope. Its a culture. In real soccer cultures, no one is conned into believing that winning= development

          bingo. parents with limited knowledge exploited by Clubs. No reason to rock the boat. Which is why the last thing ECNL wanted was any collaboration with the USSF.

            So I hear there are a few late defections from LISC. Is there any truth to this?

              What is this, groundhog day? We just had this discussion.

                Exactly, gotta chase down that car magnet to let people know your kid is a WINNER. How else can you feel good about yourself?

                Things like development at the cost of winning are too abstract for people to understand.

                  Any kid with any potential for YNT or D1 college play should run as fast as they can from that sh!t show...

                    I was just told there is a real chance that they fold

                      These gdas do not fold. They just get "bestowed" to the next club.

                        And who does it go to in this case? Clearly USSF was desperate with this choice. Regardless it wouldn't be rolled over until next fall. No club could get it up and running at this point

                          In what time period? Like sometime in the near future? or that they are unlikely to survive past the initial year?

                          It is not unheard of USSF from revoking DA. Certainly if a club ends up not being competitive.

                            It seems clear that USSF cares little about long island soccer.

                              There's some other dogs in the GDA lineup. Plenty of ECNL clubs took a pass so they had to fill in market holes with whoever they could get.

                                I'd assume that they'll give GDA clubs a year or so to get things figured out. Some had a significant head start on others so it would be unfair to judge based on year 1. It would have been interesting if all participating clubs could have made their announcements at the same time instead of so staggered.
