| Curious to know how MD girls playing for VA ECNL teams handle this schedule with 5 days a week high school practice and 2 games a week plus ECNL practices and 2 games on the weekend? |
And what club might this be |
A few play for Mclean, VDA and Loudoun. |
| Neither gets 100percent of a player that’s for sure. |
Boys? |
And girls. |
our girls were told they need to attend 1 day of week of practice. |
About as you would suspect. There is give and take on both teams to accommodate it. Players manage their workload, coaches understand the situation. |
I find it extremely odd that kids would want to carry the burden and then sit out for half a year. Kids in VA play Fall ECNL and then Spring HS soccer. So what does a MD kid do? Unless…of course…MCLEAN is rigging the system………. |
Yeah, it's a conspiracy all right. pssshhh. It's not just the Marylanders that face this. DC, and private school goers have the same conflict and manage fine. |
When I say “rigging” I mean double dipping on both sides..playing for two different ECNL clubs through the year depending on the season…. |
Not allowed as that's against ECNL rules. Can only be rostered by one ECNL team per year, unless "released" by one club (due to relocation, for example). |
How about doing the academy style where they are rostered on a non-ECNL team but play ECNL…… |
That would technically be ok. Just cant be rostered on two different ECNL teams during the same (league) year. |
| We are dropping hs. Every week another injury. I now get why the DA said no hs. |
