That is what the clubs are doing. Look at the results.

FCV spring season was a mess last year. Girls stopped coming to practices because they were on the tryout circuit. Hearts weren’t in it anymore for players and coaches and nobody took it seriously. All the whispering about who was going where, not wanting to share because your teammates are now competing for the same spots at other clubs.

its the little things that bring us joy. On that note DDs phone is on fire. I anyone else amused? Might be the most teams have talked in a while. Should be getting sleep…but here we are. I imagine the boys are popping prime bottles and looking forward to this weekend.

To all NVA parents feeling discouraged—this is an opportunity for your girls to become Champions Cup contenders and perennial playoff competitors. They will receive the same exposure to college coaches, I promise.

When the DA dissolved, many thought clubs like NEFC and TopHat would fall apart. Instead, they built stronger platforms and continue to compete against founding ECNL clubs in their regions.

You can do the same. The GA welcomes you with open arms.

kids are learning real life lessons and skills while watching some of us maneuver in similar situations. This too shall pass and character will be built. I also imagine this is when they all learn about true bonds for those that are bent on playing w each other

Funny, no one posted a message like this on the McLean thread.

Because their ECNL level girls will stay with Union for better or worse. They have already had a choice between ENCL and GA with the SYC split

McLean’s situation is a bit different. They were part of an alliance where, starting at U13, teams were split up to form ECNL squads.

Hopefully, their 2013s stick together and set the standard for the club.

Any girls that listened ar going to run for the hills. But, my guess is they won’t be surprised, they don’t care. They made a marginal improvement for the boys at the total sacrifice of the girls and had no real answers to give the parents. We are done. So much for years of investment in this club. But the guess we should have seen the bias for the boys side years ago.

That's because you weren't actually on the call

NVA is now part of this elite club with MLS Next and GA. I think some of you might be a bit too caught up in the ECNL hype. Honestly, driving down to the Carolinas to play against mediocre mid-Atlantic clubs isn’t really the way to go anymore. Every trip costs a lot of money. Just something to think about!

Good for NVA making this move! It will pay off.

You’ll drive to Pennsylvania and New Jersey now.

Actually there are enough teams now in VA and MD to fill a conference. Won’t need to travel far for league games.

😂 great we just keep playing the same teams over and over again and not get better because we don’t see new competition

If you truly think that then you are sick.

There is no way in hell I would play for Tampa Bay United ECNL versus Florida United GA, IMG GA, West Florida Flames GA. You need some help my friend.

There are crap clubs in both leagues.

If those girls are as good individually as their team is collectively, they are not staying together to play GA.

they better. Bro keeps posting it up here like its a guarantee. Lets see mid teams surviving in ecnl should win out against non ecnl teams. At least on paper.

Brilliant watson… all we have to do is sell it well enough that the girls will want to stay and play.

Its foolproof i tells ya…

In all seriousness if the teams stau together and dont win…. Ooooof

Playing teams you have to travel far for makes you better? If there is enough competition locally you get plenty of opportunity to implement what you learn in practice. But keep telling yourself you can't get better without flying across the country.

You will be surprised who is behind the CST account lol. They have never once praised GA. All their announcements are about how easy it is to get recruited in ECNL, then make posts about ECNL players that still need to be recruited lmao
