Ok, Board. I risk being ridiculed and laughed off this board with this thread, and I know in some area of the (dark) web, this information is probably easier to find, but with all the mergers/consolidations, shrinking pathways to "Academy" level teams, I ask for the collective might of the users who post who frequently/regularly to help out with this effort. On the girls side, I'm looking for all the clubs/teams that will field either an ECNL, GA, or other league (if there is one) this Fall for, let's say the 2012 year since that'll be the first year for Academy teams. Let's limit this geographically to Fairfax County, Loudoun County, PW County, MoCo teams.
Right now, I've got: Arlington - ECNL Alexandria - ???? Bethesda - ECNL Fairfax Virginia Union - ECNL Northern Virginia Alliance - ECNL SYC - GA TSJ - GA VDA - ECNL Now, please rip this to shreds! |
| Virginia Revolution- GA |
|
Loudon, ECNL
Alexandria, nothing |
Loudoun is part of NVA, correct? They don't have their own ECNL path anymore. |
| Alexandria plays in the EDP league. They lost GA status a while ago. |
NVA is Loudoun. |
Alex is currently national league |
If you’re putting GA with ECNL, put EDP1 in there too. |
Which sounds a whole lot better than it is. National league is just EDP 1 and 2 rebranded |
| Maryland United ECNL |
NVA website says Loudoun, Valor and Great Falls-Reston. I get that you might be saying it's still all Loudoun, but in terms of precision, Valor and Great Falls-Reston players are part of this path too, correct? |
Ok - this is helpful. Not familiar at all with EDP at the 11 v 11 levels. Do those top divisions in EDP get national exposure-type opportunities? And what is National League? |
| EDP is a great product, especially after U15 where they begin implementing sub rules like the other NL leagues in the area, but UNLIKE ECNL-RL around here that does NOT do sub rules EVER. |
GFR is no longer a part of NVA. It's now just Valor and Loudon. Under the about us at the bottom of the homepage "An alliance between Loudoun Soccer and Virginia Valor FC, the NVA was formed to create the foremost elite youth soccer program in the area." |
Where's GFR going? |
