Good questions...

MLS ATL will for sure shake things big time. I think more for the older kids U14+.

Here's are a few things that may happen...

* No pay to play for Academy level players
* More resources put into the success of development.
* Better quality coaching (maybe, maybe not)
* MLS Brand (more eyeballs for recruitment??)

You will see that most top level players will tryout for MLS Academy. By being on a MLS Academy team does that help you chances of moving up the ranks to MLS??

Other club affiliations...?? Not sure on this one. As a business stand point you could go with the more National brand and that would be Concorde. Atlanta Concorde?? lol... Being that Mr. Blank has a long relationship with the club (and still does) it is possible.

Most MLS clubs from what I have seen have grown from the bottom up. Well have to wait and see.

Cant wait!!

at the presser in the spring the announcement was made their would be a 3rd DA club in the ATL. the impression is/was that they would not be affiliated with the current 2 DA clubs/alliances. rumors are also that GB would never give up his power with concorde..

the training location would be key, even the q/a yesterday didnt' answer that. i'll post in a sec.... (and will link to it here -

you are right though, they will attract the top players from the entire southern region. however, the current GA united staff is very good and you would be hard to find a better youth coach than TA.
