gotta admit. i hadn't thought about how clubs will 'sell' their various levels now. gda for a club that has both is another positive. they now have development at youth ages leading to a choice between gad, ecnl and npl so they can accommodate all levels of skill and commitment.
2 or 3 sport athletes? sure.
soccer 24-7? got it.
stay local with a couple regional tournaments? yup.
national travel on a regional level team? if your kid is good enough, yes.
while us insane parents discuss the impacts incessantly, smart club administrators are opening additional bank accounts for the new inflows of cash.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think that they have already made their mind up. USSF could care less about US Club Soccer .... look at formation of GDA as assault #1. US Club Soccer could not care less about USSF as well, so if you want them to formally declare that they have opposition, just ask.

Does anyone who attended the informational meetings at Stars or Breakers have a cost estimate of GDA yet? How does it compare to ECNL and NPL costs?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWe paid closer to 5k this year. Not sure what kind of hotels you choose, but on the away game travel we tend to cut costs wherever we can (sharing rooms, carpooling for gas, cheaper accommodations, packing coolers with food, etc).

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou paid $5k so far this year (2016-2017) and the spring competitive season and spring tournaments are still to be played, which means additional travel expenses? Sorry, it just wasn't clear from your post if that's what you meant...

You all should know by now price has been used to bludgeon ECNL clubs, even when proven time and again, with actual figures, that ECNL was no more expensive, and in many cases, actually cheaper than similar alternatives. Now, horror of horrors, ECNL and GDAP will cost the same. ;) Price no longer can be used. Let's switch to access to NT coaches as well as superior, kinder, friendlier development model to differentiate the two leagues.
