some younger SYC teams are probably better than the McLean equivalent.

There is no ECNL in younger age groups. ECNL teams pull from multiple clubs. Don't expect a huge movement. There will be some players that will make an ECNL team, but keep in mind, ECNL teams draw from multiple clubs not just McLean and SYC.

1500 may be the cheapest in the area by far.

PP stated that the teams will be McLean and SYC parents will be disappointed. I think there will be a lot of McLean parents in a few years wondering what happened when their kids lose out to SYC players.

Competition for ECNL places always existed. I have seen SYC kids at the try outs, some made ECNL teams, but not many. The coaches will take the player if they think he can help them win. The alliance does not change it.

At a high level of generality, nothing changes. But more specifically, you are assuming that the tryouts drew all of the most interested SYC kids. Now all of the SYC kids are trying out, and on the boys side, that will be a huge impact, assuming they are interested in playing encl.

This does change it. The teams can't be 90% McLean with only 2 SYC players. They will take more. Whether they get to step foot on an ECNL field for a game is less likely. The rosters will have to get even bigger now to support the SYC ECNL assistant coaches coming too. Expect the largest rosters in the area and the highest fees. Good job!

Hard to tell whether this is Clyde or Este but both are right.

especially for Mclean "home" games the parking lot at Lewinsville might look a bit different than usual

This seems totally dependent on boy vs. girl. The girls top teams at SYC aren’t great and probably won’t support a 50/50 split with McLean’s current player pool. The boys are another matter and could easily see a 50/50 split among many age groups, assuming the SYC boys want to join an ECNL team, that is!

Largest rosters, for sure. Highest fees, not sure, but total revenue will increase simply due to larger rosters.

I'm not sure how they can get away with rosters any larger? They already have 21+ on all teams U15 and over. The oldest team has 30.
1. How many of those 30 on the 2002/2003 team are juniors and will still be there next year with the 2004 team?
2. Does anyone with knowledge of those teams know if the girls listed on ECNL site are all just ECNL players? Are the part-time and dual roster kids listed there too?

Questions for McLean girls parents
1. How many girls on the 2002/2003 ECNL team are juniors and will be added to the 2004 team next year? The 2004 team already has 22 players
2. All of these U15 and older teams have 22 or more players. Does this list include their dual roster kids? Or are the additional?

It doesn't include dual roster kids.

Where exactly are the “dual roster” kids going to play? I don’t see most of them content to play in CCL1 with Green teams.

On the boys side, some of the dual roster kids play EDP in addition to ECNL.

Has McLean spoken to the existing teams with any details on roster sizes, dual rostering, leagues, etc? Or do they just plan on having tryouts and let the chips fall where they may??
