Yeah I agree with. Maybe too small to add a team in that area.
Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

If by "too smart" you mean "too much time on my hands", then yes.

It's shelter in place- we have a lot of time on our hands to be thinking about soccer....

Who would be the most likely add in CO, UT, NM or ID?
Colorado Rush? Surely that GA League travel schedule looks daunting.

My guess is that UT and ID are pretty much maxed out. I can't say I've ever heard of any girls clubs in NM. I see 2 boys ECNL clubs in NM. CO Rush '04s had a team in the finals last year. That's a decent club.

How would this work in ECNL? (Referring to your last sentence...match similar level teams). I know ECNL does this in showcases but never heard of it in league play. What are you thoughts on how this would look?

Yes Rush is GA now!!
I guess I am thinking of one club in particular. The teams were still in tact, until...The players weren't out looking until the vulture showed up? It doesn't matter, who knows if there will even be a full season ahead. Doubtful.
I say "Go for it"! Go out and work, party, don't wear a mask, go visit family, have street parties, yes definitely do it.
If the players were happy and felt their current situation was better than any alternatives (distance, cost, coach, teammates, competition, etc.) they would have just swatted away any flirtations.
Happens all the time.
If the players felt the new opportunity would be more likely to help them fulfill their goals or needs (again... distance, cost, coach, teammates, competition, etc.), can't blame them for exploring it.
Also happens all the time.
Welcome to high level youth soccer.
easier if it is 8 teams in each.
early, play each of the other 7 teams.
Later, the top 2 teams per division play the top 2 in the other divisions. 3 and 4 play 3 and 4 in the other divisions. And so on all the way down.
Gives you an 11 game season, and relatively few long distance mismatches.
You may have some difficulty scheduling fields for those last matches, unless all games are played at one or two dedicated locations all season.
Dedicated locations for the last 4 are enough. The first 7 can be at normal home fields.
The other option is, at the start of the season, you know the dates and the home teams for the last 4 games. You fill in the away teams later. This causes some byes.
Unless two of those "home teams" end up having to play each other.
Can’t happen if all the home teams are from the same division. You never play your own division the last 4 games. You play the other 2 divisions.
