    What's the future of GAL?

    Expansion to compete with ECNL? Slow death? Staying essentially as it is now?

    GAL = the old NPL. Perfectly adequate B league competition with some quality players and even clubs. Many layers can and will go on to play in college but few top programs, just NPL 5 years ago. However, if NEFC and a few other top clubs can get into ECNL soon they GAL may be D.E.A.D. Hard to justify to the cost and travel for the mediocre competition you can get in other leagues

      Expecting ECNL expansion but it will be clubs like Top Hat and FC Virginia, not NEFC.

        honest question: other than the fact that NEFC left ECNL at one point, what is the reason they are kept out of it now if they wanted to go back? Is it just because they left? Is it because there is no room in the league for another team? Are they not competitive with other ECNL teams? Pls don't roast me for lack of knowledge on this.

          Anybody who sells Ecnl as worth the cost is full of bs.Individual teams can be highly successful.THE ONLY reason for anyone to go Ecnl is if the kid is talented enough to be on the top teams and get substantial playtime.Most Coaches don’t watch the C-D teams.Top flight brackets garner the most attention.With covid most watch live-stream .

            I dont think it’s technically accurate to say NEFC was in ECNL. Boston Breakers Academy was in ECNL for one year prior to GDA launch. Breakers contracted youth development to NEFC. At launch all NWSL teams went GDA only, and NEFC was admitted into GDA as Breakers folded.

            The rivalry between Stars and NEFC runs deep. No valid business reason for NEFC in ECNL. Agree the NEFC girls are “good enough” but thats not business reason

              Because there are a thousand ecnl teams ready within 120 miles and not enough quality players that want t9 or can afford to play in the ones ready there.

                Lets not start the whole playing time discussion again. I don’t see ECNL as THAT much more expensive. I do agree with you that if cost for a 3rd level team (ecnl-r) is more and convenience/enjoyment is less / why do it? With that said many reasons why any one family might decide its better for them. their business

                  Why does SSS cost so much what are they selling? I think they play in GAL

                    Awful club. Steer as far away as possible.

                        GAL will be a good 2nd division. Once they lose Tophat and FC Virginia next month then all the discussion of ECNL vs GAL will end and GAL will settle into a decent 2nd option for girls with college aspirations.

                            The incessant chest thumping and putting one league down and below another multiple threads is tiresome (by both sides although seems more common amongst ECNL supporters). Here's a hint, if it were as clear as those who write make it out to be, everybody would just know it. The fact both sides feel the need to do this means it is not. My guess is the parties who keep boring the rest of us with these ramblings feel inadequate in other areas of their life and seek afirmation through their daughters success rather than addressing the root cause, buy some viagra if you or your partner need it or an extension if you or your husband are too small or a strap on if you are so inclined.

                              haha.....I'm not sure it all boils down to compensating for sexual inadequacies, but that is a solid start, and funny.
