Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey will have the GDA rolled into their name. Their name could attract a lot more players for next tryout season. I'm sure they would love to get the boys side and start at a younger age with boys. It's a way to parlay the girls into also getting the boys program. They also have a professional girls team in Spain, as does Barca. Their younger girls programs would grow exponentially next year with such a move. RR, Massapequa and Brentwood could still stay in as feeder programs. It would bring real legitimacy to th GDA.

LISC had the chance to make it, but they made a few missteps early on, particularly when it came to communication with their target audience.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhat mis steps? They claim to have lots of experience with youth soccer so why would they make mistakes?
There are similar complaints about Rough Riders, so I guess that carried through, but you think they would have learned that they need to market to their target audience. In the end they are still scrambling and lost the players that GDA is targeting.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think the main problem is that they, and for that matter FC Fury, were hoping that they would be able to use the same players for GDA and ECNL and they didn't get away with it.

Perhaps you misunderstood that they expected all the ECNL players to move to GDA.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think you understood wrong...you cannot train with any other organizations or play in any other events if you are playing with GDA. It is an all-in program. Anyone who is caught doing so faces expulsion from GDA.

Are you trying to say that FC Fury was planning on having the same kids rostered for GDA and ECNL? And play in 2-3 games per weekend?
You also referred to LISC. How would that have worked, since there is no longer a relationship with EM?
There is no question that ECNL forced clubs to pick one or the other, hence why there are separate organizations at all other clubs except for the ECNL founding clubs (FC Stars and PDA).
