Although I did read some thing a while ago about GA possibly doing centralized games over one or two weekends in CT to cut down that travel. I assume if GA does that, then DPL teams would do that too???
    You'd have to assume they do some club schedule-shuffling to align GA and DPL, similar to how ECNL and ECNL-R schedules are aligned.

        Look at this guy/gal. Doesn't know what a troll is. If you ask me, we're witnessing a master at work.

            maybe year 1 but then ECNL regional will be better as top players migrate from GAL to ECNL.

              That’s not really accurate. If GAL was replacing GDA you need all of the GDA clubs and players to switch over. Fact of the matter is ECNL accepted almost all of the strong GDA programs. For other programs like Top Hat they have been decimated by defections to the ECNL.

              More accurately, GAL is a league comprised of the bottom tier GDA clubs which were not accepted into ECNL, with a couple exceptions (Top Hat & NEFC).

                This is not correct, and was only posted to fan the flames.

                Here in the Northeast, which is the only relevant area to the discussion, every team in GDA moved to GAL.

                  There is no reason to move to ECNL-R team.


                  OP, well done stirring the cheerleaders from their slumber. Kudos.

                    Albertson’s was absorbed by SUSA and moved to ECNL.

                    And if you think the only part of GAL that matters is your back yard, you are clueless. These national leagues are about showcases, and the college coaches will be at the leagues with strong talent across the nation.

                          Albertson didn't even have a team last year. Fury, who was left, was terrible.

                          I do agree that showcases matter. Good thing that won't be changing and coaches have been vocal to us they will continue to scout as they have been.

                          Really, let it go. I have nothing against ECNL but the misinformation campaign is unnecessary. It's good enough to stand on it's own merit.

                            Where does EDP fit into all this? RI Surf says they will play in EDP but if all the GA clubs plus NPL clubs go to DPL, who is going to be in EDP? Will that it make it 3rd tier or will it mean a lot of travel?

                              "Basically, a social media troll is someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users."

                              I don't see how I am a troll when I came here for information not purposely saying anything a t all controversial.
                              So as a “new parent” I’ll educate you. The minute you throw DPL and ECNL in the same sentence, you are being “controversial in order to get a rise.” As a new parent, you don’t need to worry about ECNL.

                                My kid is in this league , and I'd say likely 70% of the "top" (open to definition) of players are in ECNL league. Most girl players likely aspire to get into this league, but there are various factors not associated with talent that prevent it
                                70%? I would bet more than 90%. Lots of changes of clubs and lots of individual players as well.
