Those still in the GA Soccer leagues: AFC, All-In, Athens, Atlanta FC, Brookhaven, Bryson Park, DDYSC, Effingham, FC Alliance Smyrna, Jackson Alliance, GA Storm, Impact, Inter, Legion, KSA, Macon, MAYSA, MOBA, NGA, NSA Belles, Oconee, Rapids, Richmond Hill, Savannah United (is this a part of SSA?), TYSA, YMCA Rome...and a whole bunch of smaller clubs Savannah United just partnered up with Florida Elite out of Jacksonville. But I've been told will still play in GA Soccer. Thought it was a partnership for scheduling games and whatnot but not to combine teams. Though Sav United has been losing a lot of players to Tormenta so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them merge with Florida Elite. |

Gives some players access to ECNL opportunities, and like you said, scheduling and such. |

Nah, All the big clubs if they didn't pull all their academy teams out of GA soccer this season they are going to do it next season. I know SSA pulled all their academy aged teams and put them in Club Soccer this year. I assume a lot of the other clubs in the original SCCL group will do so as well this year. I think SSA may even be putting a majority of their recreation players as club soccer players as well for 2020-2021 season. Pull them out and put them where? What is Club Soccer? Did you mean to say US Club? They don't have academy ages. Academy and rec will remain part of GA Soccer I'm telling you yes US Club Soccer does allow younger age kids to be registered under U13. Just because your club may not be doing does not mean other clubs are not. I am 100% sure SSA is registering and has registered their academy aged kids and teams in US Club Soccer not GA Soccer. I also believe Recreation will be done that way to for 2020-2021, but I am not 100% sure on that only about 80% sure. Don't make blanket statements on here when you don't know what you are talking about please. |

Calm calm, no need to be hostile.
I agree and was saying the same thing. If players are in a US Club league they have to be registered with US Club. In the example I gave of the Carolina Champions League, they have brackets in that league for kids U9-U12, which means that US Club does in fact register academy-aged players (as apparently SSA started doing last year).
The market for USYS and GA Soccer will continue to drop. It will be about half its size from 3 years ago this year, and will likely be a shell of its former size in 2 years. I'm not arguing for or against, just stating my belief.
