Something is brewing.

Something is brewing because youth soccer clubs don’t have timely updates to their websites?

Announcement should come out asap! Kids and parents need to plan.

Yep it had been saved in my browser. Correct that link is gone. Ok I wasn’t buying this at all but that’s a little odd.

No, players and families have choices to take their player and money elsewhere. No one is forcing anyone to agree with their business decision to merge and to stay and pay dues. Don’t like your options, take your money elsewhere.

Well, all of these mergers and partnerships, etc. are making for some very exciting times for my rising senior who's currently being recruited for soccer. The unknowns for the futures of all of these clubs is unsettling. Sure we have a choice to move, but with six+ local clubs (FCV, BRAVE, GFR, Union, DMVFC, Revolution & SYC...) all in some type of transition what options do you go with? The devil you know, or some other option that we don't - especially with only one more year to go? It's clearly not in the best interest of players, but to blame McLean's leadership and BOD is short sighted since you can say the same thing about pretty much every other soccer club is this area.

I found the registration by going to the Brave website and clicking on the register button in the top right corner. Apparently you need to set up an account from there to complete the registration.

This is a business. Everybody does things in competition with one another, if one club isn't posting during the times their competition is, you better take it as a sign.

Brave coach told a few parents announcement is coming in the next 48 hours. Brave staff is now looking into coaching a few age groups but union staff doesn’t let them.

Get your popcorn ready!

Any club obsessed with social media has coaches and parents that should make you run for the hills. Red flag, red flag, red flag.

This was also communicated to us by a coach at our club, not Union or Brave. It sounds like it’s happening.

Confirmed from our Union coach as well.

Prediction on Coaching staff:

0 Brave HC (maybe a few as assistant coaches)

6 McLean HC

So ECNL MA is going from 13 teams to 12.
