What a joke, adding a lot of weak clubs! That will get you places...no standards whatsoever.

Looks like they are adding more than they are losing... guess that means GAL will be sticking around longer than forecasted. FWIW as long as parents are willing to pay GAL will exist... unlike when it was DA and sponsored by US Soccer. As long as parents will write the checks GAL will stick around ... sorry to disappoint all of the haters and people that called for it’s demise.

It's just the old NPL basically. Perfectly fine, some good players, but not the same competitive level and depth of talent as ECNL. It may survive but won't ever supplant the #1 league

Some of those so called NPL teams would flat out beat Stars Blue.

Agreed.

So of the 70 clubs in GA, maybe 10 of them “could beat Stars Blue.” The problem is the other 60. 60 weak clubs plus 10 strong ones makes for a crappy “national” league.

of those 10, how many are jumping ship this year?

[Unregistered]

All of them if they can, but ecnl probably accepts 3 or 4.

Of the 70 clubs in GA there are maybe 5 that could compete with an average ECNL club at all age groups:

Top Hat
FCV
Nationals
Cincinnati United
NEFC

Who am I missing?

Most don’t call it the GAG league for nothing. League is an absolute joke!! ECNL should just put the GAG league out of misery and just take those above teams. Just let NEFC and select go back to NPL and build that league back up.
