| Does anyone know how this team will shake out? Is it on par with local RL teams? Anyone have any feedback on the coach? Would appreciate hearing any feedback from those that are familiar with the club. TIA! |

| It’s not just one team, fyi. There will be 5 or 6 aspire teams. Which year are you asking about? And what coach? |

| The 2016 and 2013 girls teams. |

I would look for better options. Arlington has better teams at lower levels that will provide better opportunities for your DC. |

Spoken just like someone trying to steer the competition away from McLean. |

| So is GA Aspire the equivalent to a Regional League Team as far intensity and travel that is involved for competition, etc? |

Yes- though more like the VA RL league vs the MD RL league. |

What does that mean? |

It means less travel. In VA, the RL league is its own thing. There are more clubs because clubs can join RL without having an ECNL national team as well. In MD, the RL league isn’t its own thing- it’s just the second tier down. There are no RL-only clubs. So MD RL teams have essentially the same schedule and travel as far as the ECNL national teams. |

| Which color is RL? |

It’s Aspire, not RL. It would be the second team. In theory that would mean the white team, but there are going to be lots of new players attracted to GA, so don’t assume all green players make GA or white players make Aspire. |

Ok - thanks for explaining. |

The Aspire Conferences have been released, travel to NC, VA Beach, Richmond.
Kind of insane for a second team. Much much more than VA RL. Kind of a bait and switch to release after tryouts. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if they add more teams and move things around more before the fall. |
