No. There are 6 ecnl clubs in NC. 7 in VA. I think the point is that in Raleigh, the 2 ecnl clubs don’t poach from each other like they do in NoVa. More of a 1a and 1b team so they can concentrate their talent into 1 dominant team. If NoVa could do this, it would be like 7-8 years ago when a local team would be competing for nationals (e.g., McLean)

NCFC is NC Courage’s 2nd team.

CSA has 11 branches in the Charlotte/South Carolina area.

Courage and NCFC are separate clubs.

They are the same club.

Two different teams, but same club.

They aren’t. Courage is the A team and NCFC is the B team.

CSA and CISC are separate clubs but the best players all go to CSA.

In some cases it is despite the club. These players would be in the same place had they played at any of the ECNL/GA teams in VA or MD. The biggest factor, besides natural talent, is probably the support and resources they got from their parents in the form of extra training, personal trainers, camps, equipment, etc.

Agreed. I think those talented players would make it anywhere really with the full support from family and the coach/ club.
Sound like though ultimately, it doesn't matter where you play if you are one of those stand out player.

The difference in total matches as a club from this area is larger than I thought. Brave has the most at 54 and Union only at 40. I would have thought there would be more emphasis to get the games played prior to the HS soccer break that they give for the older groups.

It doesn’t fit the narrative! Wait until after the playoffs when everything is calculated.

Why are you poking at one of the players, there is no need for it. Great to have 3 players from VA involved
