Its my understanding that clubs who get DA teams will most likely lose ECNL. Its one or the other.
This is what I've heard too - but it's that a player can't play both. ECNL is obviously not going to be the same once you take out the top 700 or so girls from each age group from that league. They'll have to rename it to the "almost elite" club national league. It's too bad, because ECNL seemed like it was really working. It will never be the same (particularly the showcases), but it will be interesting to see in what form it sticks around as a next option. My guess is that it dies, but the clubs that have DA/ECNL will still have the best second-team options whatever you call the league they play in. Although if you are at a club with ECNL but no DA status, that will tough. I'm sure there will be some clubs that figure out a was like Legends/Beach did without ECNL status.
