ECNL would be smart to include 2 more CT based clubs in its league. CFC is floundering, the blueprint isn’t working they are the south central of academy when it first started. They insulate their ECNL or NPL teams in state and when needed they play an inferior beach team one age up to justify parent $3700.00 spend.
This thread is sponsored by ECNL and CFC, their demise is GDA not succeeding. Money grab!

Lots of rumors and speculation around here. Regionally it looks very likely that NYCFC might be done on the girls side. Players scrambling to get looks at World Class and PDA. Here in New England lots of talk about NEFC looking to the ECNL. If those two go, lights are out in the Northeast. My money is on one more year and only because CA and Texas have been reasonably successful.
On the boys side if MLS clubs pull out this thing is toast.
Reset button probably needs to be hit on the USSF
Lights are out in the Northeast.

OW is a joke on the girls compared to CFC. No one at CFC cares about the GDA or OW for that matter. It's a small group of kids that made a poor decision driven by the ego of their parents. The platform is very close to cratering and the program wasn't remotely attractive to any of the top players in the state. Aside from that, I guess it's fine.
Lights out on the GDA within 24 months max.

MTA got out now bc they know soon it will be a mad scramble and wanted to make sure they had a place when the music stopped.
The top MLS teams want the bottom Non MLS teams out. This is what is likely to happen. MTA is one of those bottom BDA clubs, so yes the bottom 5-10 clubs will be in a mad scramble to join ECNL (they cannot just "join' USYS National league) if they are removed from BDA.

The GDA and BDA are not going anywhere. BDA will evolve to get rid of bottom clubs and will adjust scheduling on behalf of the MLS teams.
GDA will continue as a league and USSF will encourage top players to play there. NE is its own problem but elsewhere the league is strong and the NTs are full of GDA players from the stronger regions. They can easily survive on the southern/west coast kids and ignore even top talent ECNL kids if they want to make a point via NT camp invites.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe Northeast has room for 1 more club and it will be joining the league next season. 15 teams will go to 16 next year without question.
Boys side has 14 clubs. 2-3 should be dropped because of poor performance and inability to field teams.
Drop FC Bucks, Albertson, and Baltimore Celtic (*)
* Baltimore Celtic is playing its B team in ECNL and put their A teams in EDP National League. It they would play their A team in ECNL they would be fine to stay.
Problem - Who could you add in the Northeast? GPS Mass Elite, SUSA, Bethesda, STA, Cedar Stars?

Girls is basically done already. Slammers went all in to ECNL last year and took a boatload of players from the other CA clubs. They are now in full scale panic mode. CA clubs will be leaving. Texas soon to follow. GDA was dead on arrival. Girls don’t want to give up high school. Parents don’t want to pay to see their kids not play because only 14 do on game day and there is no re-entry.
By the way, USSF tried selecting from the GDA only when they first started and got embarrassed on the field. They absolutely cannot survive doing that and guess what? They aren’t going to put their own jobs in jeopardy to make a point. USSF will gladly walk away from the girls once the boys folds. It’s the only reason they did it to begin with.
