Noticed the Classic and Athena names were officially dropped in the Georgia Soccer . Looks like the new path is NL Pro, NL, GPL, Championship, Conference. I really do miss the old days and simplicity of one league with numbers (Classic 1,2,3) or letters (Athena A,B,C) to let you know where you stood in things. We had a new parent in our club asking about the league they were in and what it was comparable to……I tried to walk through the ECNL, ECNL-R and the MLS Next and the GA, DPL and the NL Pro, NL, GPL and the SCCL and when I was done the expression on their face looked like I just tried to walk them through quantum physics.

I’ve given up trying to figure it out, much less explain it.

Google doesn't automatically sort searches by latest first. The links on the GS website go to Fall 2021. As for the names (Classic/Athena RIP) I guess branding and marketing is the new gig ...it seems everyone likes to follow either the English division names (Premier, Championship) or UEFA (Champions League, Conference) these days. Heaven forbid a league dares to use real names like Division 1 or Division 2 or Division 3 anymore. Who could handle that today and sign up?

Imagine acknowledging the reality that your team is in the 2nd or 5th best tier. And you have to play with teams at a comparable level. Imagine!
Instead we get a gaggle of leagues all saying “we’re the best give me your money”.. and business is booming.
