The best girls program in the area remains on the USA side. Look at the 03/04 team IIRC they are on top of their NPL bracket and going to Nationals. GPS Elite aka GPS Charleston do have some talented teams during the summer session but my concerns with this program center around GPS management. Who is the girls DOC? What connections do they have to the Colleges in the area? What league will the girls side play in? What does the commitment look like? GPS don’t have an option for ECNL currently as they don’t own their fields, so the next best league, truthfully, is NPL but with so many unanswered questions above, USA still will be a better option for most even before considering they are going ECNL soon if not this fall. The only other girls option at the Battery are all Challenge league teams that will get moved up to Piedmont conference (just like GPS did this past year) when teams opt out of Piedmont to go to the NPL.
