The transformative impact of the ECNL has never been more apparent than the list of 2018 award winners in the Pac-12, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and SEC:

Pac-12
2018 Pac-12 Forward of the Year – Catarina Macario, San Diego Surf

20 of 29 in the 2018 SEC All-Conference First and Second Teams are ECNL Alums
6 of 11 in the 2018 SEC All-Freshman Team are ECNL Alums

The GDA launched in 2017, this list is from 2018. Not even the Freshman on this likely didn’t have an opportunity or a need as a senior to play in DA.

I think I’ll dig up some numbers from 2000 to show how good ODP is.

GA is not the A league.

Any of these clubs would jump to ECNL right away if approached. Thats telling in itself.

Ahh....wus da matter?

Some of the older girls from the "VDA Area" never even played at VDA because they were already at FCV or Mclean. Then, some of the best older VDA player left VDA when they went ECNL. Some even went to...…METRO. . But you already knew this right...lol. You see, you lack an understanding of history. I was just kidding about Arlington older age groups. All their older kids were already at Mclean or Bethesda. I knew they wouldn't be strong. If you really want to look at the projection of a club in todays environment, you need to look at 04 and below. Some could argue 05 and below. The 03, 02, and 01 were completely rearranged due to USSF incompetency.

Loudoun doesn’t have a winning ECNL record as a club and is ranked 68th.

Nuff said about the value of anything beyond the top ten or twenty clubs.

What number is your club in Dundalk?

Irrelevant. I’ve conceded the greatness of ECNL as a league. I’m looking for a great local ECNL club to play for. To be 68th with a club losing record tells me that there is a sever drop in quality. Frankly being 68th competitive wise is closer to a team ranked 130th than it is to the 20th ranked team.

There is not a club below 30th that would even challenge a team in the top 20. You can both be in a league and be a pretty average team. The league doesn’t make you great by association. Great clubs do not have losing records.

According to this list, any FCV players of recruiting age (03-05) have no reason to make a move unless they are leaving the DC Metro.

Exactly the point. 06 and below should consider a move but maybe not until COVID is over. Older teams are better off staying where they are if they want good college recruiting, who cares that GA is not the A league.

And again, what club should 07’s and younger all be racing to?
