I guess that answers the question: The MYS 2014s will have to stay at MYS because the Valor girls will be taking all the spots at FVU. They couldn't get onto an ECNL team even if they wanted.

I've seen up close both teams play this past season. Valor is stronger. No dog in this fight -- my DD does not play for either team. Just calling it like I see it.

I concur with this assessment. Valor looks much stronger than MYS this year. The one thing to consider is the tight relationship between McLean 2014 and the FVU coaches giving McLean the recruitment edge, but def not the strongest team out there.

Interesting... rankings app seems to think much more highly of the MYS team vs the Valor team, though they have almost no opponents in common. Both teams have had good wins and some bad losses this season. Rankings app says the last time they played each other was last April when it was a 7-1 game.

This is not the same Valor team as before. They are playing really well. MYS 2014 is mostly playing low level 2013 tournaments and patting themselves on the back for it. Not impressed.

I'm bored at practice Valor Dad, so I'll bite:
Since the two teams last played, according to the Rankings app, Valor has played in 3 tournaments

Pre-ECNL East Coast Cup - didn't advance
Lost to VA #5
Beat PA #30
Lost to NJ #8

WAGS 3rd division - finished second in their bracket and didn't advance
lost to NC #4 team
beat MD #6 team
beat NJ #13 team

Loudoun Cup - didn't advance
Lost to VA #5
Lost to VA #23
Beat VA #23

MYS has played in four tournaments:

Nations Cup - didn't advance
Tied PA #1 (2014 team)
Lost to PA #5 (2014 team)
Beat MD #13 (2013 team)

GA Regional Showcase (all 3 are 2014 teams playing up) - no opportunity to advance
Beat IL #46
Beat OK #4
Beat RNY team (unranked)

WAGS (playing up against 2013s in 7th division) - won the division
Tied TX #33
Beat PA #26
Beat SC #11
Beat VA #15

Copa Rayados (playing up against 2013s) - no opportunity to advance
Beat VA #29
Beat MD #19
Lost to MD #1

So.....
MYS record against 2014 top 10 teams 1-1-1
MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams 0-1

Valor record against 2014 top 10 teams 1-5

if you look at league games
MYS record against 2014 top 10 teams 1-0
MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams 2-3

Valor record against 2014 top 10 teams 2-2-1 (note that I am choosing not to include DCSC in there even though they're #1 in DC, but you can add the 7-0 win against them if you want even though they're #16 of 19 in VPSL)

for a total of:
MYS record against 2014 top 10 teams 2-1-1
MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams 2-4

Valor record against 2014 top 10 teams 3-7-1

looks like the MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams is about equivalent to Valor's record against 2014 top 10 teams. The MYS record against 2014 top teams is not amazing but at least it's positive. But I guess you said Valor is playing great, so congrats to your daughter's team.

I'll be curious to see where both sets of girls go next year since that'll affect where we end up next year

Valor is off until February so may be a while until Valor dad is bored at practice to respond.

No winter practice?

Is that the wittiest thing a McLean dud can come up with? Enjoy your pre-GA Aspire seasons or edp or whatever you do.

I hear that MYS players do zoom call practices on snow days. That’s some serious dedication.

I fairly convinced there are three people on this forum who say the same thing on every thread. Ignoring this person. There’s a market indicator embedded in the 2014s that is relevant, most will get, this person has not. Some people made the point that GA is becoming the pathway for the U-littles, so this is a relevant market indicator. Last year had too much chaos so it was hard to determine if girls were picking ECNL over GA. All of the McLean 2013Gs went to FVU, which could have been an indicator but CW defected and brought over DB, both of who highly recruited the players from this very good team. Everyone can agree that the FVU alliances is nothing more than words. That said, one of the clearest indicators of GA market acceptance is what happens with the McLean 2014s. While not the only determining factor, it is a relevant marker for anyone who cares. Given that there are thousands of conversations on this topic, I think people care. While McLean is not the only indicator, it is a marker. If the 2014s going to FVU and take many of the spots, like the 2013s, then 1) the alliance is even further less relevant and the market is indicating a greater trust in ECNL right now. If they stay McLean then a few various indicators that cannot be determined yet. However, one thing that is clear is that FVU would not be very strong next year unless they draw a lot of high quality players from outside the alliance, but where would those kids come from?

Arlington will implode when they annouce GA in a couple of months. FVU will clean up from that mess and be the only ECNL club left in proper NOVA with VDA a lot further south. FVU will be fine, don't you worry your little head about this any further.

MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams 2-3

Valor record against 2014 top 10 teams 2-2-1 (note that I am choosing not to include DCSC in there even though they're #1 in DC, but you can add the 7-0 win against them if you want even though they're #16 of 19 in VPSL)

for a total of:
MYS record against 2014 top 10 teams 2-1-1
MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams 2-4

Valor record against 2014 top 10 teams 3-7-1

looks like the MYS record against 2013 top 10 teams is about equivalent to Valor's record against 2014 top 10 teams. The MYS record against 2014 top teams is not amazing but at least it's positive. But I guess you said Valor is playing great, so congrats to your daughter's team.

I'll be curious to see where both sets of girls go next year since that'll affect where we end up next year

Valor is off until February so may be a while until Valor dad is bored at practice to respond.

No winter practice?

There winter training has been well documented as below sufficient and if it snows, forget about it.

What team in the DMV trains in the snow?

They find alternative locations indoor

I hear that MYS players do zoom call practices on snow days. That’s some serious dedication.

This is true.

MV, is this you?

I fairly convinced there are three people on this forum who say the same thing on every thread. Ignoring this person. There’s a market indicator embedded in the 2014s that is relevant, most will get, this person has not. Some people made the point that GA is becoming the pathway for the U-littles, so this is a relevant market indicator. Last year had too much chaos so it was hard to determine if girls were picking ECNL over GA. All of the McLean 2013Gs went to FVU, which could have been an indicator but CW defected and brought over DB, both of who highly recruited the players from this very good team. Everyone can agree that the FVU alliances is nothing more than words. That said, one of the clearest indicators of GA market acceptance is what happens with the McLean 2014s. While not the only determining factor, it is a relevant marker for anyone who cares. Given that there are thousands of conversations on this topic, I think people care. While McLean is not the only indicator, it is a marker. If the 2014s going to FVU and take many of the spots, like the 2013s, then 1) the alliance is even further less relevant and the market is indicating a greater trust in ECNL right now. If they stay McLean then a few various indicators that cannot be determined yet. However, one thing that is clear is that FVU would not be very strong next year unless they draw a lot of high quality players from outside the alliance, but where would those kids come from?

Exactly right! How many alliance players made FVU last year? Granted the alliance was smaller, but does anyone think for a second that *ANY* team in the alliance will produce strong FVU candidates? I would be shocked if any alliance team had more than 1-2 players MAX on the FVU roster next year.

This aint happening. Nice try though. They have been too on the forefoot regarding SY change. If they were going GA then they would run BY and SY because I assume they would have MLSN1. But nice try.

Besides McLean, curious if there will be any SYC or NVA/Loudon defections.

Pay attention, McLean is not an alliance team.
