Early hears:

- NVA 2012s scattering to the wind. A good GA showing is not enough to hold onto talent because opposition has been even more uneven than expected.
- Bethesda holding look sessions indoors will prove helpful.
- Long time SYC devotees are looking to jump. What direction TBD, but VDA is a likely place for top performers
- VDA leaving families who have put in 2+ years behind to recruit to trade up. Club taking a fairly hard Aug 1 stance which does not really play to their online we are the recruitment HQ standpoint.
- RP promised some kids coming over to Arlington but the 2013s are largely staying intact
- GY girls trying to move from GA to ECNL happening. I see you McLean.
- Bethesda looking to have a total relook at their 12s and 13s based on massive age group changes.
- FVU will talk big panic but still pick up girls in 2011 and 2012. 2014 change over still largely TBD
- McLean 2014s will stick together for one year in GA. That is all.
-Loudoun and STJ are in a race for Aspire demotion. Think between NVA and Loudoun someone will try to engineer a girls only ECNL solution
- Rev seems first stop for STJ trade ups.
- Alex GA will continue to struggle. One marquee team does not a program make. 2012s will continue to be top of GA bracket as long as T is coach
- Arlington 2013, 2012 and 2011 RLs will be tired of waiting around with the promise of one practice and maybe some NL game time and will try to move to said good enough Alex teams (11s and 12s) and McLean (13)

- The Arlington 2013s have a goal difference of 41 and 2011s have a goal difference of 35 so there is some talent there. Seems likely many move to GA.
- FVU will have talent leave that is replaced by lesser talent. They will always be able to field a team due to the badge but the quality is going down.
- VDA is definitely picking up players from NVA and SYC across 2013-2011 age groups.

Have the current VDA players been notified?

At most, maybe one or two SYC players would even consider leaving. The drive to VDA just doesn’t make sense for SYC families. I do wonder whether current VDA players have actually received offers or know if they have roster spots for next year. Based on how things look this winter, I wouldn’t feel very confident in VDA’s leadership

With the age group change, VDA has most of their 2011 team moving to 2012. Not sure many SYC players would make the roster.

+1 likely a VDA parent.

I know of one 2011 and one (younger) 2012 being offered full ride to VDA from said club

If you're not poor the "full ride" isn't a huge draw. There are other factors, which are equally or more important.

Like an actual college recruitment program?

NVA and SYC teams are suffering losses at all age groups…

Could be true for NVA but don’t think so with SYC

This is definitely a troll trying to stir the pot. SYC only lost a few girls, but what about the new players who already committed at their ID sessions that you’re not mentioning? Love to see SYC living rent‑free in your mind. 😉

They’re losing the stronger girls and being replaced by girls not as strong. Generally not how to build stronger teams.

You may be a troll. The strong teams lose 1 or 2 players . It is normal. And these players usually get replaced by good players. Nothing to see here. By the way some of the replacements can teach your DD how to play soccer just for the records so stop talking about other players.

It sounds like about 3 per age group at both of those clubs. That’s actually massive

[Anonymous]

The VDA 2012s will look like a brand new team. I would say more than 50% turnover. Arlington will add/subtract up to 3. One already has.

Some teams will actually play better without their "best" player who is not "team" player.

Any confirmed for 2012 VDA from outside club? How big will the roster be?

Now this I can support. Way too much hero ball for some teams with a lot of talent.
