Charge double for MLS and more “prestige.” Wonder which Arlington will go for.... |
GA clubs won't be added to Mid-Atlantic. If anything the South Carolina clubs would joint the Southeast Division. |
That's a fair point. SE adding the two SC teams, plus maybe Tophat, would give the SE division 14 teams and more reasonable travel. It'd also leave the MA with 11 teams, which is the same as it was currently this year, but without the trip to SC. |
| MA conference only having 13 clubs this year. Time for EDP |
You have no idea what will happen, with clubs still being added as of today. |
United Futbal Academy is in Midatlantic Division and is in Georgia? Any ECNL team that is happy about going to Georgia over playing Arlington and FCV is nuts. Enjoy your weekend trip to Georgia when you could just drive 20 minutes to Arlington or Leesburg. |

Keep barking at your shadow you scared EX-DA puppy.
Coming on this board and telling everyone how great your kid and FCV are will not earn your kid a roster spot on a ECNL team. You obviously have a big chip on your shoulder with the, "I'll show you!" mentality. Who exactly are you trying to impress? You don't even know who to direct your anger at. I assure you, the ECNL parents had zero impact on USSF shutting down your precious league. Only a weak man lives vicariously through his teenage daughter. Man up |
Bwahahahahahah BUT BUTTTT it was a scrimmage and andddd DAMIT we are the best and andddd we will beat any ECNL 04 team BY 5... shut the F up! The team wasn’t anything big! And YES! WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES. Top 4-6 have a chance everyone else go to BRYC and McLean. |

The MA division will not be broken into two sub groups like the NE division. Here's why
The NE division is ONE SINGLE CONFERECNE that is broken down into 2 subgroups. Its ONE Conference that covers the ENTIRE NE region of the United States from Maryland to Maine. It has major population areas like Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, etc. The SE portion of the US doesn't not have the population to support this. The Mid-Atlantic /SE conference covers the entire Southeast portion of the east coast. Its ALREADY broken down into TWO separate conference so you don't need subgroups like the NE. The new teams added to MA conference will knock out the South Carolina teams. The SC teams will be added to the SE conference with the addition of Tophat (without a doubt be added) You guys are doing addition without the subtraction. The teams that make up the conference will be redone. You have to wait and let it play out. With that said, the MA conference will be VA/NC |
Bethesda and Maryland United were coming off their HS season at this time and had yet to play their ECNL season...and still got these results vs a Tier 1 DA team. |
Then they’ll have no problem earning ECNL spots. |
*ex-DA |
Lmao. VDA 04. Just looked it up. 6 wins out of 20 games. Negative goal differential. Just the best!!!! Bring on Tophat. Btw VDA dad, no ex GDA players coming there anyway. Worst choice of all the local ecnl clubs. You may be begging for 6 wins next season if there is one. |

Nostradamus here with a fearless prognostication. A long 3 months of hand wringing for all elite players and clubs. ECNL MA stays as is at 13 with FCV, Arl, and MU left out. exDA clubs scramble to retain players to play in either EDP or some form of DPL east coast extension. Top 2/3rds of exGDA players opt to test the waters at ECNL tryouts. Plenty of politicking and back channel discussions occur. 8-12 players across the 3 exDA clubs are slam dunks to get onto an ECNL roster without a good look especially where there are coaching changes. ECNL clubs make advance offers in May to attempt to secure these players, as well as their current top players. exDA clubs make advance offers as well in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
Tryouts begin in July, and even then are limited. Of ~60 exDA players avbl (MU, FCV, Arl), exDA clubs retain ~20, leaving ~40 distributed between VDA, BRYC, McLean, Loudoun, Bethesda. Varies across ages, but ECNL rosters take on average of 8-10 exDA players each, Bethesda takes on less due to proximity. Rosters grow to 23-24, bottom ~6-8 players drop down to RL teams. Each ECNL team fields RL team to retain as many players as possible. |
