What's it going to take to fix the soccer landscape for girls in Northeast Florida? Right now we have clubs fighting below their weight. FESA, Armada, and USA/Clay are all failing to even compete. What could be done to get it right??

Consolidate into one ECNL program and one GDA program.
This will make the second tier teams stronger as well.

Nothing will happen. 2 of the clubs are too stubborn to do what's right. Not sure who is more of a pain, Bubb or Armada's board.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou would not drop ECNL. If Clay and Armada merged, you would have enough of a talent pool to still have competitive ECNL. GDA is not for everyone. Heck, ECNL is not for everyone regardless of talent. Travelling all over the country for competition under U17 or U16 is pretty much a waste. If Clay and Armada merged, the top players from FESA would follow and they would either have to join too (without Bubb) or be an NPL club.

Hey consolidation does work in south / central FL. No more GDA O-Pride & SFFA Anyone who wants to play GDA went to Weston. They are doing very well nationally from what i see. Jax is a huge market, but talent is spread thin.

Yet, most ECNL teams from the area are struggling and at the bottom of the table.

It’s probably the coaching. It’s the advanced tactics they are implementing in.... girls HS soccer.
No, I’m sorry it’s not. It’s because the level of play is terrible. Average club players are stars and good club players dominate. So many weak players and no tactics at all.
