Smoke and mirrors from the start. It was never really about soccer, just business and power.

Boston Breakers
New York City

In the Atlantic only 2 teams
Penn Fusion
FC Virginia
There are 13 clubs left and only 5 or 6 are good. That does not sound like development for national level players.
I think you can look that the negatives and complain, or the positives and get on with it. I encourage my kid to do the latter, so far so good.
as far as the ECNL goes, how will it be any different ?

The open weekends implementation sounds like it is their "solution" to dealing with fewer teams in each division.

If I had to guess what will happen in the NE, you will probably play each team 3x as now, some crossover games with Atlantic, showcases, and then what's left you can schedule other teams. I'm not sure how they will handle the rules around those open weekends (subbing, refs, etc.). But until the dust really settles with clubs can they figure out their restructuring. NE will probably only be BBA, Oakwood, Fury, NYCFC, NYSC, and maybe Empire.
It really is silly to even travel to NY weekly for those games. As a league, GDA in the Northeast isn't offering that much in terms of competition. They should offer a "GDA lite" version which eliminates all the time and $$ for travel, and focuses more on development.

All it really says is that there will be some free weekends to schedule alternative games, again likely because there will only be 6 or so clubs in some divisions.

we need a TS pick up game thread. Just pick and time and place and let the girls enjoy playing. No parents or coaches allowed.
