GA normally announces new members around March.

Is there a scenario where SYC, Loudoun, and maybe VA Revolution (via FCV/CC) get GA.

No.

Don't see that happening. Last year they added one club to the Mid Atlantic following ASA being removed. It would also throw off the conference a bit considering there's 12 teams and two divisions within it (North and South).

Yeah. Loudon wouldn't even be good enough to get accepted.

So what about the rumor that SYC applied and could be getting it? Does that mean that FCV is being dropped? Could the league look to be expanding to keep up with the strength of ecnl?

FCV's goalkeeper coach is leaving to VRSC too, with CC, and the new program VRSC is going to try.

SYC is in springfield. TSJ is in springfield. SYC has fields and coaches. FCV is losing fields and coaches. Rumors that SYC is getting GA. FCV is leaving GA. Seems like TSJ and SYC are coming together to have GA based in springfield.

Exactly. And the historical (pre-TSJ) Loudoun-based FCV is going to merge with VRSC because they have fields (which FCV apparently lacks going forward) and are trying to build (but otherwise are years away from having) a credible program in GA / ECNL (which FCV has in GA).

I never understood why TSJ, which is based in Springfield and has both boys and girls teams in various sports, bought FCV, which is based in Loudoun and at the time was girls only. Partnering with someone like SYC makes so much more sense for TSJ and SYC’s dissatisfaction with the McLean / Union partnership gives them the opportunity to pivot, with fortuitous timing given FCV’s coaching and field challenges.

I heard there was no partnering between SYC and TSJ. I may be wrong but heard that it was a solo application into the league. I guess there is no guarantee that they will be given access to the league but that it was on their own. Heck they made it successfull on their own for MLS Next so why not try this.

No way syc partners with tsj. If they did it'd be all syc anyway. But maybe syc would get access to nice facilities.

Must ask…BP..where is Coach going? Do they intend to inform current players and families?

Rumor has it that SYC is bailing on VA Union and pursuing GA. Time will tell…

What's SYC's issue with Union?

They wanted to buy an established brand. Because they are for profit, it would be very difficult to acquire a non-profit team which rules out most of the area clubs.
