They help fill geographic holes, especially in the NW, but the quality is 😑

I’ve never heard of any of these clubs.

Huh? Never heard of these clubs! GA if you have money.... we have a league! GA is like a glorified NPL league. They needed to add teams as ECNL is adding 7 more teams in a month or 2. They will cherry pick GA of its top teams.

Forget what we think NEFC, South Shore Select are u guys happy with the additions? I was hoping that Surf and Bayside would be added. That would make sense for the northeast.

Happy with the additions? Yes, they are hysterical!

Seems pretty lame additions but not sure it matters short term. If your team is good you play other good teams. There “champions league’ format is an additional tournament for good teams. We’ll see long term if this is an answer or NPL2. Honestly, if you’re stars white you are playing middle of the road teams in showcases, who is watching that?

Um, the 100s of college coaches at the ECNL showcases who are the same hundreds of coaches not at the GA showcases.....

Sure they are.... if you count walking by the field getting to a good game then you are spot on.

Are you really arguing that there will be more college coaches at a GA showcase watching South Shore Select v. Bridge United than at an ECNL showcase watching Stars White v. PDA White?

Because if you are then you are the reason that these clubs can repackage NPL and make you think it is a viable national platform. SMH.

Unbelievable.

Congratulations to Select and NEFC. This is great news for GA-lol

You overvalue your club. Coaches know these are the second teams. How’s the kool aid?

Not at Stars, just pointing out how flawed your logic is.
