FCV ECNL

One thing that I feel has changed relative to college recruiting from when my older daughter first started is an emphasis on choosing the right school first with soccer being a second consideration. I feel like when we first started paying attention to college recruiting, it seemed like the emphasis was on playing for the very best soccer programs. Now, players are being properly counseled to figure out the best college fits academically/geographically/financially and then see where (or if) soccer aligns. Maybe that has contributed to the perceived "decline" in players going to top soccer programs (what the PP called "college placement quality").

The other thing that was an eye opener to me is that there is no shortage of national team level soccer players who are also top level students. Not surprisingly, I think the same attributes that make good athletes also drive them to be good students. That's a good thing.

I agree with much of this. One can quibble about the chicken or the egg issue but the end result is the same.

That history you talk about, were kids recruited back when the club was ECNL.

DA also helped with recruiting, a concern with GA is level of competition. If ECNL is an option FCV should pursue it.

If FCV gets into ECNL who is staying at Loudoun?

FCV is not getting ECNL. Even if they did, they wouldn’t get a lot of Loudoun players. FCV has plenty of warts as a club and families know it. Remember FCV had Girls’ DA and Loudoun didn’t have yet have ECNL and the clubs were “partners” encouraging the top Loudoun players to move over to the FCV DA teams. Some moved over to FCV but A LOT of the top Loudoun players didn’t move to FCV. Have to think it was because of FCV’s reputation.

Players only moved for a possible two age groups at the time and the best Loudoun players did leave Loudoun.

The older FCV teams already had the Loudoun players they wanted and the younger, non-DA aged players were never considered and were all to remain at their club.

I would argue the ECNL cheerleaders are worse. They talk in absolutes, but yet the local ECNL teams continue to fall behind the local GA teams. Maybe someday the ECNLers will look around and see they have become the new ODSL. They are trending much in the same way as AOL.

Yeah, okay. Lmfao

Don’t laugh too hard. What nova ECNL club performs well. As in like it’s winning consistently and doesn’t get torn apart on a weekly basis.

How did the MU humble pie taste?

Have fun beating GA teams 12-0 just to tie, lose, or barely beat bottom dwelling ECNL teams

FCV > Loudoun after 2007s (U15-U17 most important years...)
ECNL > GA and it isn't really even close. FCV is only decent club in our area. Baltimore Armour is a stretch. SJEB is only other decent club in Mid Atlantic Division and they are no PDA or NCFC. You know that and I know that.

FCV Era is coming to an end if it can't get back into ECNL. If your DD is 2008 or under, get out after this season. You many even want to consider leaving if your DD is 2007.

2006 and older is already established and can ride out the storm.

These are the facts. To make things worse, if Loudoun is able to land a good coach for the older age groups, it's really over.

End of debate.

Getting called into a virtual camp is not being on a youth national team. The way they handed out invites, I’m assuming a few hundred girls will be on the zoom calls.
