There are a lot of kids who sat out of high school so they do get injury.

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.

Sinking ship….

And so it begins…here come the wave of negative comments from families leaving that did not receive an offer.

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

What choice did MYS have? It's either get kicked out of ECNL or comply with ECNL
Let's say they ignored the ECNL notice. They will have to find a different league to play in. There are not many choices around (NCSL, EDP, and GA)

Congratulations on your first steps into becoming a GA parent.

Wait until the next crop of mindless new ECNL parents come in to backfill your defection.

Lol many were already planning a departure before this merger. This reinforced the decision as a correct one.

Kids lose and you cheer because your kid got an offer. Karma has a way.

I don't think MYS was happy to lose half of the revenue from the merger. Of course, there are roles that the MYS club can develop for kids at a younger age. But the players will always look to find and play for a better club. The ECNL team has a different roster every year.

There is no offer or cheering here. It is a tough time for all the families and especially for the kids. I am pointing out that this process is not even close to over yet and people are already bashing their old club on their way out.

Yep. Development is all about club hopping and playing on a team with new players every year. Or, it's not and clubs are just trying to recruit their way into wins.

Is there an award for falsehood of the day

You must be a HS coach trying to convince the top players to suit-up for you

There will be at least 4 or 5 kids getting offers using politics. That kind of politics where the parent does even have to show up in practices and tryouts.
