I mean this year that might be true but that wasn't the case last year, or the year before that... NVA doesn’t have consistent mediocre teams like Arlington or VA Union does. |
that was because Coach RA soul crushing bootcamp and self motivation had the older teams looking legit. 10s were always buns and 11s were mid w over meddling parents of sub par players. I for one cant wait for the announcement. Will be drinking tears from a cup. Glorious GA |

There will be an exodus from NVA if they move to GA. ECNL is the only reason girls play there. |
The same logic applies to every club. ECNL is the reason girls play at Arlington, VDA, & FVU. If they didn't have ECNL, many girls would play somewhere else. |
The question is would MLS Next for boys bring in enough new players to offset any girls that might leave because of switching from ECNL to GA. I believe it would. I also believe if more than one relatively local club switched from ECNL to GA for girls nobody would leave. This spring will be exciting. |
You folks are exaggerating. Syc had the opposite effect starting with the 2012 group. Girls flocked |
Arlington and Union are living it up right now. The parents are so excited to go up in the ECNL rankings |
??????? |
And next year they probably wont |
You're exaggerating. None of the top players from any of the top teams "Flocked" to SYC. Ok so they added girls who couldn't/didn't make any of the top ECNL teams. |
NVA is looking down the road and where the best platforms will be for their players for exposure and recruiting. If they think MLSN + GA will be the bigger deal than ECNL + ECNL, they'll make the switch right away to position themselves first before any of their competition does. They're not thinking about what's best right now they're thinking about what's going to be the winning move in the future and their brand. NVA leadership is well connected and I’m sure will do plenty of research if they do decide to make the move. |
False. Big showing at the 2012 SYC GA ID which preceded the ECNL IDs. There were 4-5 slots to fill so only a few offers went out. Some of those who were passed over made VDA and FVU. Facts. |
They “didn’t make” ECNL teams but somehow are better than 90% of the ECNL teams in the area lol. ECNL isn’t everything. No one wants to play for shit teams. ECNL or not. |
Yes they do, as a matter fact. Otherwise a club like VAR wouldn’t even exist lol |
