Originally posted by Unregistered View Postwhat makes a marquee Club? Parental demand based on all sorts of factors. some real some perceived. if a club is not promoting the USSF then they are better off without them.
In 2017, The U18s Michigan Hawks won back to back national titles
The Hawks have had an unprecedented run at the oldest age groups recaching 5 out of the last 6 U18 ECNL National Championships and winning 3.
I believe as a club they have Nine National Championships and 11x National finalists

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLook at the # of teams they have per age group as well. I'm sure there is a large gap in depth across those, but clearly they have a large player pool at their disposal. Other clubs that participate in these leagues barely have 2 teams per age group.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIn other words they're a club that certainly could afford to run GDA at a loss if they wanted to without badly hurting their bottom line. Yet they are choosing not to. Smaller clubs like say Oakwood, with few profitable teams to prop up DA or even a large player pool? Hwo are they going to sustain it in the long term?

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postand so what. no one outside of the area they pull from cares. If I look at the TDS player rankings they are not dominating the top slots. There are not more Hawks players at UNC or Duke or UCLA than other Clubs. Championships usually reflect many things . who do they compete with in season? probably no one. Gteed to make playoffs. have a big area to pull from . depth . none of it proves they do more with the players they get than anyone else as far as improving them or getting them into college. All it proves is they are able to win Club championships.

Originally posted by Anson Dorrance View PostYou sound desperate. Can't stand having the GDA look bad? Is that you, April? Hawks also have been one of the best producers of YNT team talent. They led all clubs with 15 YNT players in 2015. You should know that April. Afraid of losing your job? You should be. I told you to work with ECNL.
I have nothing but praise for the CLUB my kid plays for. They were in the ECNL and still are. They are also in the GDA . Nothing but thanks to the great coaches who helped her, but lets face it the League badge means zero.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostRegardless of which league you believe in, it makes it much easier for a club to pick one or the other. The top league of the club is then clearly defined and they can fully support it and have it as a pathway in their own club pyramid. GDA and ECNL are too similar and competing for the same players, so all it does is fracture talent within the club.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postwithin clubs with both..yes. To me GDA should be reserved for professional clubs who are OBLIGATED to field teams as part of being in the league. All MLS and NWSL teams should be mandate to have them and pay. let REAL coaches select the players and limit the number of teams. Any application for a MLS franchise MUST include a NWSL team and an academy. those teams can play each other nationally.
