This is true. I heard from a few kids - Brave and Union - that offers went out to kids that didn't even show up for the ID sessions. Huge slap in the face to kids that actually did make it out.

Age group please?

Top players will get a reserve spot if they show up or not. The coach already knows the player. When you attend ID Session it doesn’t mean you are on the team

can confirm…. Top kids on current team don’t normally fight for their spots…. Sometimes dont even show up for id session

Just showing up to ID to make sure your dawgs are there and help the club recruit new dawgs. This is true. Not showing up at all def means you are at someone else’s practice.

OR--its the start of the HS season. Many players are on ECNL teams because they are allowed to play for HS. Can't miss your first HS game for an ID session where the coach already knows you...

Tons of them at other id sessions.

Any more offer out or they are waiting after the second IS session?

Town hall OK. About 100 people there. Mclean was pretty open and transparent or so it seemed. The assistant executive director is terrible, he basically got booed off and sat down. Mclean confirmed the timeline and what ECNL told them, agreed that it is a terrible situation but said that there hands were tied--lots of good kids getting left out espeically in recruiting years but ECNL doesn't actually care about the kids. Boys coaching slate is a problem because lack of Mclean coaches who know those kids but they said those coaches chose not to join FVU.

They said ECNL doesn't care about the kids? So why does MYS continue to be associated with ECNL? Oh, right...

+1. That comment caught my attention too. You know any other ECNL club is the same, but it is a good reminder that these clubs will always do what is best for their business first

ECNL really came out as the villains here. Hope MYS considers alternatives down the road. Unfortunately, ECNL is still so coveted they have power. MLSNext and GA/NWSL may hopefully be alternatives down the line. I don’t think a lot of us will forget what ECNL did this year.

High School soccer is on a comeback because of total mismanagement by Clubs and Club Leagues. High Schools have struck prioritize HS soccer much the way clubs used to do. This makes kids want to go back to playing for HS teams.

Not always true....this is all politics at this point. Some kids not necessarily top players have received offers over kids who are actual top players. $$$ is at hand and how much up the club and coaches ass you are. How much money did you donate to the club when signing up for an id session?? Always thought that feature was weird on the playmetrics..." Hey sign up for the id session here.....it is free but if you would like to donate to our club please feel free to do so, $10 or $500 anything is welcome" Such a joke.
