2010 Girls U-12-13 teams, who’s who?

[SDSoccerDad]

Moving to DC from SD where soccer seen is a rich and passionate as I’m seeing here on the boards. My daughter is a 2010 playing a flight 1 schedule in SoCal, looking at ECNL clubs and FCV. More interested in opinions on the ECNL options (BSC, Arlington, SYS, McLean anyone else?) interested in coaches, style, player movement ahead of their first year in ECNL, commute times, etc..). Thanks!

A GA over ECNL club is hilarious. If you are really from Souther Cal you wouldn’t even entertain the thought.

What part of northern Virginia are you moving to? Vda and Loudoun could be options for you to but are both outside the beltway

Add BRYC, Loudoun - ECNL. But ECNL R Vienna and others. Depends where you live and willing to commute. Many to chose from at that age.

Arlington seems to be the obvious choice of moving to DC

Depending on where in DC you’re moving to your best options would be any of the following, Arlington, Bethesda and McLean.

So much hate for FCV? I don't need to know why and didn't ask. Specifically ECNL clubs what was the post was about - What do the 2010's look like in this area? Bethesda seems like the obvious choice but I'm genuinely curious what others think. Arlington logistically probably does make the most sense but I know nothing about the girls programs in this area.

You specifically mentioned FCV, so there is that. FCV is also GA and not ECNL, so there is also that.

Arlington, like Loudoun, chooses a more athletic brand of soccer.

Bethesda youth coaches are big time screamers but play a decent style of soccer.

McLean, big rosters, play a nice brand of soccer that yields success in later ages.

McLean used to have success in the later ages when they could recruit whoever they wanted. Those days are over. Loudoun has the best 09 and VDA has the best 08. Probably the best indicator of how the 2010 team will be. The landscape has changed a lot over the last four years.

This is helpful thanks! What's with the bigger rosters? Is McLean the only club that does that? And when you say McLean is that the same thing as Virginia Union for the girls in ECNL right?

Did you not read the part about moving to DC? VDA is not an option.

Yes, Union and McLean are the same.

As far as bigger rosters go I don’t know, it’s just what is always brought up. My guess is if people are that unhappy they’ll leave.

The rosters are likely nothing more than dual roster situations with the top B team players.
