Not enough girls to be competitive in that league, or even enough to form a team. Can't have boys without girls |

| So what has the tryout turnout been like for girls teams? Will they have enough to fill all the age groups? |

doubt it but that's been the case since TF coaches left.... |

The 2012 Girls ECNL Regional game never updated on the ECNL site. I did hear a Herndon (or Sterling) coach got ejected for arguing calls last week. Not sure if that explains why the game isn't updated or if that's what this poster is referring to. But coaches get red cards at this level pretty frequently (I think I've seen at least 3 in the past couple of years at my DC's games). |

I think 2012 is one of the Sterling coaches. |

That coach is very hot headed, wouldn’t be the first game he got thrown out of. |

We weren't at the game, but this doesn't surprise me one bit. Does anyone know what happened at the game? I was wondering why the score never posted when the game was played. |

2012G is a Sterling coach. What happened at the game? |

They had a combined Herndon/Sterling girl's practice this week for next year's team at Herndon. Sterling girls were told that they all have a spot on next year's team if they were on this year. No idea the turnout. We didn't go since we won't be back next year. |

We were there. Bottom line, if you're willing to join, you're on the team. Skill don't matter at this point because it's all about the survival of the program/team and not being competitive or a travel team. Many friends were recruited from rec to just come up and make the numbers. It stinks to have to drive further for our kid but she deserves better than 20 random girls put together to play "competitive travel" soccer. |

| But are the teams Herndon or Sterling? And are they paying Herndon fees or Sterling fees? Its very odd. |

What age group was this, and are you on the Sterling or Herndon side? Does that mean you don't have to show up for the tryouts? We attended the tryouts and there seemed to be enough to fill a team, assuming that the majority of the people were interested in joining. When we tried out at Sterling, it didn't seem like there were enough people in her age group to make a team, and we never heard anything back after the tryouts. |

They’re putting teenage girls from rec into ECNLRL? Yikes. Do these families know what they’re getting into? |

| We are at a much bigger club but I have never seen a boy or girl go straight from rec league to RL team. It would be very hard to adjust to the speed of the play. |

Herndon does it all. the. time. That's how they keep the boys teams at the high school level. |
