NVA/Loudoun to MLS Next

Revolution is irrelevant in the competitive youth soccer landscape. It is a nice, local, yet very expensive, rec program.

d.a. 2.0 attemp loading. Even if true doesn’t help ur current hs girls.

Cant wait to see how it plays out w the 12s.

12s will dominate

A nice local rec program that plays in the exact same league and events now as NVA’s girls at the same costs. What does that make NVA?

This season, Rev GA teams have been clearly inferior to NVA ECNL teams and clearly superior to LS ECRL teams. Next season will depend on how many of those NVA ECNL players stick with NVA GA. If a bunch leave, Rev GA will very quickly pass NVA and LS GA.

You sure about that? The last few times I saw Rev GA playing LS ECRL in tournaments LS ECRL won.

Look for yourself at game results in Rankings app. Their algorithm generates the following national rankings:

2007/06: NVA ECNL #122; VRSC GA #458; LS ECRL #437 (graduating)
2008: NVA ECNL #41; VRSC GA #206; LS ECRL #353
2009: NVA ECNL #76; VRSC GA #167; LS ECRL #590
2010: NVA ECNL #131; VRSC GA #237; LS ECRL #455
2011: NVA ECNL #80; VRSC GA #208; LS ECRL #575
2012: NVA ECNL #31; VRSC GA #276; LS ECRL #237
2013: LS Pre-ECNL #53; VRSC EDP #122; LC NCSL Black #659 (rising)

The rankings obviously suffer from false precision, but they are directionally correct. And it's clear that, this season, Rev GA teams have been clearly inferior to NVA ECNL teams and clearly superior to LS ECRL team.

Incidentally, that's not a knock on LS, it's a knock on ENRL, which to borrow from PP is the equivalent of an expensive rec league. If NVA, LS, or MYS build their new GA teams with ENRL players, they will struggle in GA.

VRSC generally is mid-table in GA. Gap between LS ECRL and top of the table would even more dramatic.

A team that's spotted one or two wins every year by Rev.

I think the Loudoun RL teams will benefit from going to GA. I'm sure there will be girls on various RL around VA that will want to join Loudoun (and possibly Mclean) so they can play GA, which in this area for certain is a higher level than ECNL-RL. Girls from GFR, Valor, VSA, Arlington RL, etc. Some of those girls may want to play at a higher level than what ECNL-RL currently offers.

lol. imagine both lying the the media (both clubs) and spitting in the face of half of your members (female players) by not even mentioning them in the press release.

well played gents. i guess this is inevitable with seven of your eight board members are men.

This is an announcement about MLSNext, which is a boys league. Does not make sense for them to mention the girls. That will be its own announcement. Take it up with the newspaper.

This was a paid press release given to the newspaper. It’s not a news story written by reporters. It’s an advertisement
