So this is my prediction for the GA expansion 2025-2026

[Guest]

ECNL is going to continue to pick off strong clubs in strategic regions. GA is going to slowly turn into ECRL level if they add all those teams you mentioned.

ECNL would have to dilute itself to do this, and they would never do that. Are they going to have a league with 25 teams where there will be a clear distinction between the top and bottom teams? Will they have a 5 divisions instead of North Atlantic and Northeast? So they took some of the top teams from GA. When these teams perform well and people see there really isnt a difference, then what happens?

Without promotion and relegation, leagues like this will die sooner than later. They cannot drop a team because they need the money too much and do not want to scare new clubs off. At some point, most of the teams will just be "ok"

the biggest problem is too many mid-level clubs. There is definitely talent out there for more top level teams, but you really need consolidation of a lot of the teams one or two levels down

To be clear I’m not talking about adding STA, CSA, and Real - I’m talking stealing Colorado Rush, Nationals, and Ukrainians - that is not diluting itself as a league. It is strategic and shows the power ECNL has over GA. The more top programs leave, the less recruiting opportunities there will be because coaches want to see the top talent, which will be more and more focused on the GA. If they strategically pick top clubs from GA the level will go down and adding ECRL teams will further the decline.
Now if Tophat went to ECNL that would be a huge surprise!!

**Talent will be more and more diluted at the Ga. Not focused ha ha ha

Ga should put lower teams on warnings and remove if performance doesn't improve. I don't get why they'd want lopsided games in their league. There are enough teams out there that you can replace bottom feeder teams

So sick of the Nj Premier dads on this forum. If you are not happy with the league your daughters play in then leave!!! Play better competition then come on here and brag. What teams have you beat in your “top ten” analysis chart? I will wait…

2011 NJ premier dads are the worst of them all

case in point above. Same tournament they lost 0-7 to MFS.

The GA expansion is not just about the 2011 Girls. NJ Premier got event status, but if you look at their performances (without having a badge) of all their teams, they should already be in GA totally.

Agree, seems like an outlier game. Maybe hex was down a player or two that game or a field player in net. Something seems off

They lost to FA at the DTS tournament and also lost to the FA 2012 team last year.

Not questioning NJP’s merit to join GA. Just saying 11 dads need reality check.
