Keywords in your post SW ECNL. You will have the ENTIRE GDA at the event in North Carolina, and compared to SOME ECNL teams. My point was that clubs get to pick and choose which showcases they want to attend. Those of us in the SW typically choose Phoenix . The vast majority of teams participating in the upcoming Phoenix Showcase are West of the Mississippi thus making it more of a regional thing. However, that option is not available for GDA, you play where they tell you to show up. As for the college coaches perhaps they aren't registering because they are trying to divide and conquer this soccer landscape...who knows. I don't care as long as they show up. The age relative effect will take hold next season, and once again you will see girls shift. Whether it's the A.R.E or available space on teams, girls will have to find somewhere to play. This shows how naive YOU are regarding the dual age bands.
