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).

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat’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.

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

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.

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?

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
