Yes, he's definitely taking the 02/03. He's thinking of taking an additional team and getting a particular coach to "take over" sometime in the season but that is still up in the air based on the other coach and his responsibilities and commitments.

Any news from the CF and UFA coach’s meetings? CF choosing DA or ECNL or both? Can't speak to which way CF will go, but for UFA, I don't believe anything new will come out of the meeting. I've had to go to those meetings in the past when we both coached. The meeting (done annually just before the May 1st window and start of tryouts season), is usually an opportunity for the leadership to let the coaches know about the new assignments, new goals, new rules etc. This year it happen to fall right smack in the middle of the whole possible Big 5.5 migration out of North American Soccer. The SCCL is going forward. From the texts I'm getting from those in the meeting, SCCL will be run out of the Norcross Location. Those who don't make DA or who are not of DA eligibility age groups but don't want to come all the way down to Norcross I believe will have the option of staying in Forsyth and going with NPL. All locations keep their Premier(top) teams they just play a different league. The biggest news coming out of these meetings will be the coaching assignments. Now the one caveat is I like to double check sources, so I've only heard from one so nothing is 100%. I'll give my info a 75% accuracy rating  Wait. I thought we concluded that if your are in the SCCL then no NPL? |

What oraclesfriend said. Also for the CL it will be a 14 game season in the fall and another 14 game season in the spring. One club will be the host for the day, so all the other clubs will roll out to NTH and host all the other clubs. Then the next week another CL club will host and so on and so forth. So each local Georgia club will have to take a trip out to Alabama to play the two teams. Goal right now is to have each team make a weekend of it by playing both clubs in Alabama instead of making two trips. |

Two Alabama teams and CESA confirmed? |

I have thought about what AFC would do through all of these discussions. Honestly, I won't miss driving down to the south-side of Atlanta for a meaningless game but what will they do? The boys are okay since they at least have DA through U14. Next to AFU, they are the biggest losers in all of this. Let's also not forget MOBA chomping at their heels down in P'Tree City. Yeah. Their 05 girls team is pretty good and they will likely get into RPL especially with UFA, Tophat and possibly SSA dropping out. They seem to have a lot to lose either way. Moba seems to be up and coming. Totally won't miss the drive to south Atlanta. I feel like there are a few "in between" clubs that could be losing out with this chaos I can't imagine anyone is too worried about MOBA, it seems like the southside is AFC's to lose. AFC- DA for boys to u14, and RPL in about half their age groups on both boys and girls. Average staff and will have to choose between NL and NPL. MOBA - A few teams in each gender, a couple good groups they took from AFC. Great facilities and a poor overall staff. Promised players unrealistic leagues and trips to Dallas Cup and Surf Cup. I don't think they are to be taken seriously. Concorde South - I am not sure how this program is, at one time Brain Moore has some good teams out of here. Henry County - Large rec and academy base, with only a few older teams. Shame that they aren't a better program. |

The only other club that has both is NASA Top Hat girls, right? Some say ECNL wants to be number one at CF and were not happy with how poor CF’s ECNL girls teams were this fall while their DA teams did well. Some day DA isn’t happy with the facilities at CF and possibly the coaching licenses. Who knows? |

I'll give my info a 75% accuracy rating Can someone clarify why Concorde Fire would have to choose DA vs ECNL when the other Big Clubs can have both? Last year when GDA was coming online, ECNL made some rule that says you can only keep one or the other. GDA didn't care since they view their program as superior to ECNL. However, for very successful clubs like NTH, ECNL put in some language that says if you had teams at a certain success level(think playoffs) within a number of years or won a national championship or played in a championship then you were exempt. I honestly don't remember the verbiage and the specifics. But it was pretty much the more successful clubs at ECNL get a pass. I haven't looked but it seems CF has not met those requirements, so now that plus the push by ECNL to creat "All-in" clubs may be forcing their hands. So they have to weigh costs and profitability, what the players want, what their customers/parents want, high school play, ODP play, the prestige of one league over the other, the potential wall it would put for US Soccer to pick YNT players from ECNL as opposed to their own product - GDA. In essence it's a cluster that i'm glad I don't have to make. Goodluck CF |

1. CF is making theier decision on ECNL or DA today. They cannot keep both. 2. Iggy is not running SCCL- he is leaving coaching to spend time with his family 3. The coaches leaving and taking their teams with them.......................there will be one club allowed to keep ECNL as well as stay in Ga Soccer...................AFU. I'll let y'all connect the dots on where players and coaches aginst the SCCL will go....................... 1. That would suck for them being so close to tryouts. I have heard reasoning behind why they would choose one or the other and its not an easy decision. 2. Iggy is not coaching SCCL because he is coaching GDA 3. Even if TH and CF both loose ECNL, AFU will not be the only one in town. You forget about GSA |

CF should keep both DA & ECNL, since their ENCL teams might improve by default, if players who don't make a ECNL team at their current club change and make a ECNL team at another club.

Need some input. My kid goes AFU. I've heard both sides-AFU will lose out, and AFU will come out on top after these changes.
Your thoughts?

Has anyone taking a look at the teams that will be in each of these Champions League divisions? Some of these clubs have really really bad teams in some age groups. There could be cases of Classic II level teams playing against former RPL level teams.

Post by atlfutboldad on May 1, 2018 16:49:24 GMT -5
Because they typically field an A/I team that would hit a glass ceiling if they were to win that division. There's nowhere to go but to return at the top of the A/I and compete for state cup. Whereas any smaller clubs with A/I top teams could move up to NL Piedmont.
There really is a question of how the LSA 05 team which will be wearing the Tophat patch this fall would go. Are they LSA or are they NTH? NTH uniform suggests NTH.

Agree. I don’t believe AFU will lose out. No one really knows how all this will shake out but a club as big as AFU will not lose out most likely .
