They need new coaches for sure-There are not that many out there, so where is the coaching talent going to come from? -
Yet they are still charging everyone top dollar for next yearOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Wow that is major coaching talent lost, along with SC of course. Is this because of the GDA/GA failure to establish itself as a top league for girls or is there something else in the background?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Nothing that big in the background, just a looming federal indictment.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I actually think its sad. STA has been a great club for years long before Newman. In the last year DA crumbled, DOC is leaving, their best coaches are leaving, their best players are leaving, and to top it off the owner will be going to jail. Its crazy when you think about it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I agree, it is an unfortunate turn of events at once. I don't think it's any conspiracy, just bad timing. It's not like these folks are bailing to go coach little kids somewhere else, they are moving up in the soccer world. Hopefully they find a few quality trainers to bring in. They still have talented coaching at the younger ages, so maybe it'll be some rebuilding years coming up.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Agreed the preferred choice to move to ECNL is not really in option so they are stuck in GA. Would not be a terrible thing if the league had gotten off to a great start but it just had not. Someone on the CSA thread mentioned Arlington and FCV bailing for ECNL? How are they getting in but NJ is not an option????Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Great business model!Comment

How could they have gotten off to any start? They had a few months before they had to shut down.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

GA did not shut down. They only started fall of 2020. They were formed during the lockdown spring of 2020 right after DA collapsedOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I can’t believe how much negativity GA is receiving when they haven’t had ANY time to get the league up and running.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You have to understand that kids/families who were in DA and believed in that product are not happy with GA as a replacement. A few years ago one could argue the benefits of DA vs ECNL. Now its not even comparable. We can debate over and over again but GA is not what DA was and can't compare to ECNLOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

None of this matters
GA
ECNL
Both are doing well.... respectively.
Just wait until the news drops at the end of the season about an MLS league for the girls.
NYCFC girls Academy team will start back up
Red Bulls girls Academy team will start up
Revolution doing the same
DC United the same
Philly Union the same
Montreal the same.
Mix in the top former clubs of the DA, and you're going to have a real challenge to both the GA and ECNL. That said, the GA (former DA clubs) is already going to headline that environment, playing both the GA and MLS Next Girls ....
ECNL fans love to hate DA/GA.... their right to so do.
But the future is not about the DA, the GA, or MLS, or ECNL. Its about some cool mix of several of them.
Think CHAMPIONS LEAGUE style events for the girls. I think the girls environment will be better than the boys inside of 3 years.Comment
