What happens with SSA? No more DA partnership with CF now. Will ECNL extend an offer? It would have seemed logical that ECNL would have added SSA to today’s UFA and CF announcement of SSA was ECNL bound.
What does SSA look like come this fall?

I would think status quo would kick-in. They would continue the arrangement with CF they currently have. Run the 2nd ECNL team with the CF logo on the Jerseys and the boys "collaborate" but this time with an ECNL team and CF gets the continued use of real fields owned by SSA...

Not sure if that would be the case... how are the two girls' team ran? I think they are both out of the central location. Are there any SSA coaches that have CF teams? What about the SSA players - do they make up decent numbers with the CF girl's ECNL teams? DA was a different story. With SSA stopping at 14, that partnership gave them further access. But with CF already having current ECNL players and now DA players to make two boys' teams... not sure I'd say CF will just give them teams to run. And with field usage - I've dug around a little, doesn't seem that's something that sweetens the deal. Are CF using them now? Looks like their tops teams use Ga Soccer Park. Girls ECNL, Boys DA - not seeing any SSA facilities used. |

SSA should probably merge with CF now (form a true CF West). If the alliance falls, all they have is NPL and SCCL and they lose a lot of players to the CF hierarchy.
But, would SSA lose their SCCL team in that scenario? Or does SCCL start allowing 2 teams from some clubs (NTH, UFA, CF)
If ECNL were to give SSA a spot, CF's 2nd ECNL teams would be very lackluster. |

Girls ECNL, Boys DA - not seeing any SSA facilities used. SSA coaches ran 3 of the 7 girls ECNL Premier teams this year (05, 06, and 07). Those 3 teams are 99% original SSA players. They practiced out of Franklin Gateway which I believe is under an SSA contract. SSA coaches also coached 2 or 3 boys ECNL age groups out of Franklin Gateway too. So I agree with Futsal Gawdess. I don't think much changes with the relationship. I believe Concorde can choose to change the terms of the relationship at any point though so nothing is guaranteed. |

If that is what is being done -- seems logical to just add SSA and give them their own boys and girls teams.
Why is all the mystery necessary.

Your screen name speaks VOLUMES for the youth soccer landscape ... the irony is it looks like you have had the bane for over FOUR years
So funny yet sad reality

I still think an outright full merger is going to happen sooner rather than later with Concorde and SSA.

SSA will also have the USL Academy league or whatever that league becomes.
