I can’t wait for you talking up the benefits of EDP in a year when your kid ends up there.

You sound like a bitter and scared little man. Get help.

For one, better competition. FCV is please weak competiton when all it has to do is travel down the Pkwy to play McLean. Most every other team in your conference is inferior. I am sure it made you feel elite when you traveled to LI and PA to bet the hell out of teams in those areas but you would have been better off in ECNL.

Oh please, it was ALL watered down.

Again, you want FCV players and other DA players in? Is your kid a top 4 player in her position?

Being the 7th best team in your division do you really feel so secure about how good your kid is? You’re about to find out how your kid benefitted from the region being watered down.

Now that ECNL is on top and everyone knows it kids will come out of the woodwork. Good luck to you but eliminating choice just made things clearer for LOTS of players.

For as many times as you have ask this question your child must totally be top 4 in her position. You should have no problem relocating and starting.

Yes, I can say that my child is one of the top 6 in her position.

I’m not worried and will pick the best team for her. Thanks!

As the soccer world turns: Season 1 Episode 11: Who will leave first? But will they pick her up only being top 6? Will they start her? Have they told their club yet? Dah dah dahhhh.. Tune in to DC urban Soccer forum for all the crazy soccer talk that makes no difference at all because it’s all speculation.

They will band together and form a league. Mocking it will not make it go away. The battle now will be for players, just as before. And if DA players move to ECNL not every current ECNL player will stay on the team. Those players may very well end up looking for spots in the team they previously mocked.

This will be disruptive for all.

Agreed. IMHO, on both a local and national level, the few remaining DA teams -- those that weren't accepted by ECNL -- will see many of their top players leave for ECNL. A few of the girls displaced from those ECNL teams will go to their club's B team, but most will go elsewhere, including those ex-DA teams. The result of all this disruption will be the ECNL teams will have more more talented rosters, and the ex-DA teams will still be good, but nowhere near as good before all of this nonsense.

Again, the older team at Arlington and even more so at FCV have no compelling reason to leave their team to join a weaker ECNL with the break-in period in their recruiting year or years. If you are an 03 and not committed, why leave unless you are not getting playing time and only if you can start on BRYC or McLean 03 - the only good 03 ECNL teams right now in this area. If you are an 04, why leave at all? FCV and Arlington are by far the best 04 teams in the area and unless the rosters break up, why leave to go to an inferior team and have to break into a new group of players with politics and oversized rosters? If you are on 05 - same as 04. 06 and younger is a different story. Not recruiting years and the survivability of the GAL starts to matter. The GAL's survival is less important the older the ex-DA players are. For 03 and 04 it only needs to get them through one year.

This is obviously an 03 parent willing to join a questionable long term destination because they think its best for their kid. Who cares about the 06s and whats good for club longterm. the GAL will likely fail like GDA.

Yes, 03 parents and i hope all parents will do what’s best for their kid. Depending on what clubs decide, that’s either stay or leave. Easy.

The clubs will figure a league out. Again, the clubs didn’t fail, a league was pulled out from underneath them. If the SAME clubs stay together what is the difference? Your sorry 04 or 03 ECNL team is not getting an infusion of talent. 04’s and 03’s are not concerned with the half life of a new league as long as it can get them showcasing opportunities within the next year and a half. How is this so hard for you to understand?

Saving this comment. We will see.

Why do you care so much? Your in ECNL why so threatened? Do you obsess this much over EDP?

Your child must play 04FCV exDA. You are hostile and very transparent. Relax B your childs team will stay together and the team will reign supreme once more. NO ONE CARES...

Just listen to the nonsense you are writing. FCV 02-05 should players should leave a top 10 team in the country to join CCL level ECNL teams (two exceptions: BRYC 03 and McLean 02). Its not like we all don't know who is on these ECNL & DA rosters and the games are filmed and all over YouTube.

VDA 06 is a very good team and they are in terrible ECNL!

Stop posting to yourself, it's weird and desperate.

Go on you tube and watch. Not pretty my friend. What is weird and desperate is how many pay so much for it.

Since the players are apparently that superior, why not just take over ECNL team to compete in ECNL?

I would never post a link of children playing soccer on an anonymous chat forum. That is a dick move. There are hundreds of gda and ecnl and other league games posted. They are fine. They are kids learning, improving growing...great. but the level of play is just not worth all this nonsense. Sorry.

Why do people keep posting McLean 02 and BRYC 03. Are we not talking about fall? The age group is 02/03 together. One team.

FCV 04 couldn't score against Bethesda or Maryland United.
