ECNL forcing Brave & Union Partnership

The last month aside, I have to assume the parents of the 10s are happy. They performed well Aug-Mar (still in 2nd despite recent stumbles), and are picking up a half dozen strong players from Brave. That team has a bright future, what’s not to like?

11s are trickier because Brave is the better team and there is a local conference opponent in Arlington that will likely remain top dog. But Arlington has likely already benefited from any Union or Brave players open to moving. This will be a test of whether FVU can take a pretty good Brave team and improve it with Union players to overtake VDA.

VDA is not a strong enough team to be in this conversation.

No, the person on the previous page had it right. A few additional points could have been made but it was spot on for the state of 2010. Adding in the strong Brave players will only add more frustrated players unless they get in on whatever is going on behind the scenes.

The combined 2011 team will be stronger but it will be hard to break in that top three.

The VDA hate is real.

Yes Arlington 2011 are picking up 2 McLean and 1 Brave player for next year.

FVU needs to hope there are a few late bloomers they can attract in order to have a chance to catch Arlington or VDA

2011 FVU prediction for next year is 8th place.

So the 2011 Union Brave merger helped Arlington. Great

I agree that the FVU 2010G will have a lot of talent (with the Braves addition) at the coaches disposal to be in the playoffs every year in HS. The only issue will be if the coach mismanages this -- not strong will and have certain parents over run him to play certain players buried in the team. This could lead to top talent leaving to the other playoff bound team.

The 2011 is a different story. Not sure if they will break into the top 5 as I don't beleive they have the depth, I guess we will see in the fall. I know a few players have left to Arlington but there is still a few more top players left that will hit the market if they don't make the playoffs. These players will get offers from either Arlington, VDA or NVA.

I think it is more likely that with Arlington increasing their roster size, that they have players unhappy with playing time and looking for more opportunity rather than a FVU player looking to go to NVA or VDA.

That was not the point. The point is the playoff bound teams will start getting the top players from the other teams including the 2011G FVU so they have a lot of depth in case there are injuries during the season they can still maintain the level of play in competitions.

As good as the Arlington 2011G are, the players are all not studs and if a stud were come to tryout and make it, they will be playing over an average player on the team.

If they win nationals, they will not have a need to shake things up but if they do not go that far in Nationals, and studs showup at tryouts, they may shake things up.
