What age does RPL start at now? u15 vs u14?
so what happens typically on the girls side? ecnl teams go to ecnl - concorde, gsa, afu.
then the top 1-3 teams get invited to rpl or 1?

Spring of U14.
The ECNL teams don't even play in GA Soccer - they have their own schedule of teams so it's completely separate.
Supposedly the top finishers in Fall play at U14 are the RPL teams - GA is guaranteed two teams but usually sends four. They play teams in SC, NC and FL - Region 3. At U15, depending on how you place there, you move to Southern Premier League and play other state's top teams.
U14 Spring and forward, the 2-4 RPL teams only play RPL but return for State Cup. You can 'lose' your spot in RPL based on performance. I think that even if a team from a club with ECNL finished in the top four spots, they cannot go RPL but if I'm wrong someone can jump in and correct me. Example - if Concorde Elite had finished #1 at U14 Girls, they wouldn't be eligible for RPL since Concorde is an ECNL club and has a team playing there.

I thought RPL play was determined by state cup finish? I also was not aware that anything said the ECNL clubs could not play RPL (the individual teams obviously can't play both) - CF has teams in both. |

Starting next Spring, U13's will be playing RPL. For the spring ages (U13, U14) the top finishers in the fall Classic I and Athena A divisions will be the RPL teams.
For the older ages, the State Cup winner and runner up are usually guaranteed RPL places. There are changes being made to the whole RPL structure, so I'm not sure of how other positions will be filled.
