No merger huh?
Well by confirming that did we confirm it was one of the others? LOL
Seems odd that they would push all USClub and SCCL but want to keep DA? Isn’t DA not US Club I thought that was the battle CF had with going “All-In” and dropping DA.
I would lean more towards a rumor of a “huge announcement” being something like UFA has the only girls DA program in the area. On the heels of a TopHat All-In ECNL announcement. (Because that’s how rumors get started ha ha ha)
Or some sort of Atlanta United announcement.
Or maybe it’s just that the turf fields at Fowler are done.
Or maybe they bought Polo Fields.
Or they are switching from an Addidas Club to a Nike Club.

My guess is 2nd division of SCCL, unless that has already been announced.

Does anyone have any insight into what is the exciting new news that is coming to the UFA family that is going to be announced at the gala on 5/11/19? Multi division SCCL. It’s coming. To me it dilutes the product and will now be a glorified Athena/Classic. They will ruin a good idea.

Yikes. Yeah, knew it was coming, but its competing leagues of GA soccer. Its going to look like the haves vs the have-nots.
They should really change the name of that league though. Will be interesting to see it unfold.

I can't imagine that is the announcement "we are leaving GA soccer completely -- now everyone applaud"
I'm very intrigued and have no idea what is in store, and I thought I was well connected.......

My guess is 2nd division of SCCL, unless that has already been announced. There are talks about adding to the SCCL and NOT adding any local teams. There is also talk about creating an SCCL 2 and punting around the idea of current clubs having more than one SCCL team if they have different locations. Ex: GSA North and GSA South. Further talk is about adding teams from out of state but the parts they are trying to iron out would be how to make the trips minimal, say over a weekend much like teams do with BUSA/VHSC...FG

Seems like an odd time to have their 'first gala'? How come UFA hasn't had a gala up to this point, strange? Also, I know a few parents at Norcross who feel like second class citizens to the Fowler clan and don't feel like they are one club anyway that's why you usually see a huge exodus of girls from Norcross at the end of academy.

Also, I know a few parents at Norcross who feel like second class citizens to the Fowler clan and don't feel like they are one club anyway that's why you usually see a huge exodus of girls from Norcross at the end of academy. I can understand their feelings, but I know as a Fowler parent for a few years we have tried to support Norcross. Both of my children have been happy to guest play for them when they needed players. I have helped organize other kids to guest play for them. We know several players who have gone from Fowler to Norcross to play on better teams than they were offered at Fowler. Some have come back to Fowler as better players to compete for higher spots. For girls Norcross has a bit of a numbers issue even at the academy ages. Some age groups have 2 teams and some only 1. The Norcross parents have many relatively close options to choose from and thus have the ability to leave for more competitive teams without having to go too far. I think that SCCL will help them keep more girls and attract some girls into that program and I think it was a good decision to have the SCCL girls teams out of Norcross. As for feeling second class I think that ALL non-main branches feel that way to an extent. There are age groups where the better team is at the outside branch, but generally with the bigger numbers at the main branch they will get more attention. There is some movement though from Norcross girls into DA as PT players and FT players. This shows that UFA notices the best of the best out of Norcross and tries to keep them in the family and give them opportunities.
