    Someone on the Seattle board just posted Seattle is rumored to be getting another ECNL club. This will only further dilute the talent in the PNW. OR and WA would have been better off with each state getting 1 GDA and 1 ECNL team.

        I don't think Reign is going to last in GDA - no SU or Eastside feeder anymore, kind of a mom and pop NWSL franchise, those girls will have to pay full freight for GDA, without many games close. Many, many alternatives up there, whether ECNL or USYSA or Crossfire.

        One interesting scenario is that GDA might end up being what many said it should have been in the beginning - focused on SCal, East coast, and maybe Chicago or Texas. You will see families and clubs opt not to do it, but think they will continue to do it. They just over-expanded.

          Or how about no Ecnl or GDA and watch as no one has to fool
          Anyone into thinking they are good while avoiding teams around them.

            Local Premier Teams
            ECNL
            GDA
            (New) Elite Super League
            National Premier League
            Super Cup League

            There are your options. That's like taking a cup of coffee from the office coffee pot and pouring it into the fish tank to drink it. Very diluted and tastes like old fish food.

              NPL is a joke, super cup league is a joke,new elite super league is just a rumor, local premier league does not exist, ECNL is too expensive for most and competition is lousy (Oregon teams are winning most of their games), GDA too expensive for many, unless you play for Thorns, Crossfire Premier(free for two older age groups), LAFC( free for all age groups), LA Galaxy (free for all age groups).

                Dilution is the goal.

                  Too much money involved in youth soccer. Imagine a local DOC making almost $120,000 per year for part time work.

                    There is no feeling that can match traveling all day and then slapping 13 goals on a team. If a restart takes two to three minutes over half the game is spent plucking balls out of the back of the net.

                    The 12th goal feels just as good as the 1st.

                      Throw in coaching a couple teams and bump that extra cash up to $150,000.

                            Good that GDA added a couple bottom dwellers. Almost makes up for the two clubs that have already announced they are leaving: Kansas City and Dallas Texans. With many more about to announce that 1 year is enough GDA for them.

                              Gda isn’t perfect but it’s nice to have it as a choice for those that want it. Same goes for Ecnl. Be happy our girls have some choices and simply steer clear of the ones you don’t like.

                                LAFC is not free.

                                $500 plus travel cost.
