Two top area clubs, Stars and PDA, are out. Two very weak clubs, LISC and Empire, probably out. Not many clubs left to play. Will they combine with the Mid Atlantic group? That amount of travel might push out many non starters who don't think it's worth it any longer. Fewer top clubs at national events too. The low performing clubs and players should be out. No need for dead wood. But the top clubs bowing out hurts. Lessens the league's prestige, lowers the competitive level.

Remove the need to travel hundreds of miles weekly for a single game. Instead focus on development, arrange intra-squad or regular games with other nearby GDAs without standings (and reduce the subbing restrictions). Give players chances to play and grow. Then have competitive games 3-4 weekends with other regional clubs at different spots. It is a different than the other leagues and really focuses on the development and commitment of these players.

I think the next few weeks will be some reflection for GDA parents -- many may start to wonder about returning back to ECNL, especially when their "club" offers it (i.e. NYCFC > WCFC, Fury > Alby). I think many are now realizing GDA itself isn't necessarily offering more and the experience hasn't been what they expected. If enough players decide one league vs. the other, then a sea change might occur for the bulk of the team.

NCAA adopts new DI recruiting legislation
Article Written by Travis Clark
Published: April 20, 2018
Comments
The NCAA announced this week the adoption of new rules legislation overseeing the athletic recruiting process for Division I sports. The Division I Council voted to adopt the rules on Tuesday and Wednesday during meetings in Indiannapolis.
For soccer, the immediate impact (effective April 25, 2018) is that athletic departments can’t participate in a recruit’s unofficial visit until Sept. 1 of the recruit’s junior year in high school. Additionally, recruiting conversations during a school’s camp or clinic can’t happen before Sept. 1 of a prospective recruit's junior year.
Starting later this fall (effective August 1, 2018), official visits can now begin Sept. 1 of a prospect’s junior year in high school instead of the first day of classes for senior year, which was the rule previously.
The move comes as several sports, including women's soccer, grapple with the earlier trends of offering players scholarships before even reaching high school. A study compiled by the NCAA, demonstrated in a few slides pulled from an NCAA research project completed in conjunction with the Student Athletes Advisory Council. It shines a light on how soccer recruiting stacks up with other sports.
women's timing recruiting
men's soccer recruiting timing
As evidence by the charts above, recruiting contact starts much earlier in women's Division I soccer. That's reinforced below by the chart of when a player commits, as the average for a men's DI soccer player is junior year, while it's in the sophomore year for women's.
commitment made
Additional legislation is expected but not until April 2019.

1. Sept 1? Isn’t this right in the middle of the soccer college season? How can they recruit during this time. Also, junior year? Don’t kids have SATs and school to worry about? Not to mention their soccer season. Sept 1 is awful. Is anything make it July 1. Makes a ton more sense.
2. Taking families out of the recruiting process is going to lead to them being beholden to their club coach. Recruiting will still go on. College coaches will find creative ways. One obvious way is to reach out to the kids club coach. This coach may hold this over certain kids. Gives club coaches way to much power. What if a kid wants to change clubs. Will this coach now bad mouth this kid? Going to be a huge issue as well.
