That was biggest complaint with the ecnl and they made it even worse. That league made no sense.
    i dont think they made it worse. Just more of the same. Several entities have invested significant sums of money convincing US parents that soccer excellence requires significant travel. Any entity that tries to change that narrative will face an uphill battle. The system is set up to provide easy access to so called talent evaluators as opposed to improving the talent by making practice and games convenient.

    many of the "rules" made a lot of sense for elite players, but they reduced club autonomy and increased costs and most Clubs are NOT full of elite players. Is mostly average to good players who are looking for every perceived edge they can get for College. For them, the changes were not worth it. These players were never going to be materially impacted by GDA.

    GDA was just too big BUT the USSF being the entity that it is had to be big.

        It was like going to Disney every day, with Mickey waiting for you in the parking lot, Goofy handing out paper towels in the bathroom, and Donald running the practices, 100% magical

          I will say, the first year at NYCFC GDA was pretty special. The tours of the Pro Facility, the filming crews showing up for practices, free uniform apparel, even the Power ade was chilled to perfection. The girls were treated very well.

            Too well. And took advantage of Kaz thinking they were special. And then the rug got pulled out from under the feet and were then finding out the hard truth that they were not welcomed back to be the premier ECNL team players and PDA had no reason to bring them in either so it was STA. How did that turn out? And no where are you playing this upcoming season?

                    To be, or not to be, that is the panzer.

                      Sounds kinda like a used a bunch of teen players when they thought it could help their brand and then disgarded them the minute they changed course and saw no further use for them. Not sure I would discribed that as magical.

                          You may want to decrease your's. Don't lose touch with reality.

                              Yikes. This is a soccer forum for opinions about youth soccer. Not sure I am the one with the issue if someone questioning a silly magical little fantasy about youth soccer sends you into a cussing tantrum. Stay in a dream world if you must but it is not a healthy coping mechanism.
