ECNL forcing Brave & Union Partnership

Wow, $5 mil a year and still have time for this forum. maybe we all should go to wherever it is you went and spend time trolling with 'IDIOT'IC replies...

Not OP and DD not at either of these clubs but yes, the look that kids got on brave is similar to Union. Any ECNL team gets a ton of exposure. What you do with it is yours. DD played a game with 125 scouts at an Ecnl showcase. Many might have been there for the other team. She had an outstanding game. Received more than 20 calls from schools she had not been in contact with. ECNL get you the exposure. Would you rather be on Union than Brave if the travel time was the same. Of course. Was there more exposure at Union, of course. But Brave got plenty of exposure.

I'm sure there are more. The point is that's a ton even compared to some of the top ECNL clubs in the country

The phrase, "You couldn't pay me to go these schools," literally applies, except for one on the list that offered to do so. Let's just be clear about this: which ones are the recruits who could not have gotten these offers if they had played for a different coach or club? Are you one of the parents saying that these kids were not good enough to get these offers on their own (I certainly hope not)? Or are you one of the coaches who is trying to take the credit?

What’s wrong with these schools? These are top soccer schools. And are you sure your kiddo could make it without playing top league? Ranking: Florida state 1, Penn state 4, Georgia 13, UCLA 15, Wisconsin 19.

Wow, people in these forums lack of reading comprehension. Go and read again the post that originated the argument. Read and Re-read again and again.

What are the fees going to be for FVU? It has to be super high with 3 coaches per team.

[Anonymous]

Oh honey, do you really think there will be three coaches? This is for optics so everyone feels like they have a coach from their club and sure they'll all be at IDs. But as with all coaching slates they are TBD. You will know who your coach is on the first day of practice. Even then it could change.

No inside knowledge here, but if I had to guess, there will not actually be 3 coaches per team. This is a placeholder until they sort it out.

Given its location, McLean should have had access to a good talent pool, and the talent from SYC didn't seem to benefit the Union boys much. So, why would they retain coaches from McLean then?

The boys side both clubs suck.

The girls side McLean is better and has a long standing history of competitive and placement success.

They both suck on both the boys and girls side. If the playoff qualifications ended today, one Mclean girls and one Fairfax Brave girls teams would make it. That is it.

IF (they still have 2 more games left)

And the oldest girls team is the highest place in the area. Two teams still could make it. So saying the McLean girls suck is just ignorant.

Ahhh, no - everyone interpreted your post like the PP. Your “mastery” of the written word is the issue.

This is an idiot post. I would be happy to send my kids to any of these schools - UVA, UCLA? Are you mad? And nothing wrong with UMD, GA, UW or FL State.
Out of curiosity, where did you to go school, OP? And what is your current job? Just trying to see what makes someone so self-righteous

I think it is "idiotic," not idiot, and I am neither mad nor insane. Nor is it "self-righteous" to say anything like this - it is not a moral question or judgment in any respect whatsoever. I have a great job, have had a great career, make over $ 5 million per year, and guess what . . . IT HAS HAD NOTHING OR NEXT TO NOTHING WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL (I WENT TO FOUR), JUST LIKE THE SCHOLARSHIPS THESE WOMEN RECEIVE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUB OR COACH FOR WHICH THEY PLAY.

I did not say these were poor or mediocre universities. You need to read more carefully.

No, it is an idiot post - meaning drafted by an idiot. And the above is what I'd call a moron post. And self-righteous. I think it's safe to say that you don't have a great job, likely don't make a ton of money nor did you go to a reputable university. I'm sure it was "fine". But I doubt your school outranked UVA, UCLA, or even UMD. The kids accepted at these schools did well. Good for them. You sound like a jealous ninny. Plus the all caps bit has outed you as a basement dwelling troll.

Please continue. This is incredibly amusing and a pretty impressive display of an inability to admit that you have made pretty basic mistakes in reading my initial post. But also please take a stab at answering the questions in my post. If it’s not too difficult for you.

On the girls teams the coaches are confirmed as indicated. The first 2 coaches listed are the main coaches who will be involved fully in each team. The 3rd listed is occasional.

I did, and evade neither taxes nor questions. You can say thank you when I fund federal student loan forgiveness for your kids (and perhaps you).
