Club wise for 2010 FVU is your best option. The merger is quite messy but 2010 team is very strong best of your options. It’s a very good team so will be tough to make especially after merger but they have the top college placement track record for girls without question.

You don’t want to be driving to Bethesda 4 nights a week from arlington in rush hour

They do not have the best college placement over the last three years unless your target school is Howard.

Ooof.... things you only say when you're annon. 🙄

Georgetown, UVA, Penn, ND all the Ivies. I mean really this is all public and available to search so there is no dispute. They by far have the best record for college placement in DMV. You may not like that fact but it’s true.

They don’t have the best 2024 or 2025 class. Get out of the past. It’s 2024. Do better MYS fanboy.

Nice site, who put that together? Do the other local clubs have something similar? So many of their websites are terrible. If you comp Union (Fairfax County), Bethesda (Montgomery County), and FCV (Loudoun County) on soccerwire’s commitments page, Bethesda and Union have commits at similar types of schools (generally strong academically) but Union has more of them, FCV has better overall quality than Union from an athletic perspective (but they both have commits at strong soccer programs), Union has better overall quality than FCV from an academic pespective (but they both have commits at academically strong universities), and FCV has more commits overall. I’m sure soccerwire’s data set is incomplete, so maybe better data would change the conclusions, but I’m most impressed by FCV as I suspect the population Union is pulling from has many non-soccer players going to the same great universities, so query how much of Union’s academic placement success is Union and how much is the McLean zip code, and I don’t see any reason to believe that the population FCV is pulling from is somehow inherently advantaged athletically. But all three programs are sending a lot of kids to great universities, and I’m sure folks from Arlington, NVA, and VDA will have something to say about their programs’ success.

Why is Andi Sullivan listed here as a pro from McLean? She played for BSC.

five 2010 union ballers were invited to the USYNT regional id center. I think that is quite an achievement for those ladies.

i swear any club/coach who has been within breathing distance of a professional successful player claims that player as their own

McLean also claims Makenna Morris who played less than 5 games for them. She moved from BSC her senior year. There are lot of situations like this with MYS. It’s great marketing though. Look at all the fanboys on DCUM who think DD is going to UNC because she plays for Union. Placement with mediocre 2008 and 2009 teams will be interesting.

That’s funny. So after committing to Stanford she decided there no longer was any reason to keep driving from Lorton past McLean, as she had done for all those years.

Didn’t all the DMV clubs have players invited? Bethesda had three. Apparently, scrimmage teams were formed based on East vs West home geography and West proceeded to smoke East, which reinforces OP’s question about her DD making ECNL / GA teams in DMV: she absolutely will knock players off every single team in the DMV, with possible exceptions of Bethesda and Union (and FCV if it hadn’t blown up) depending on what position DD plays.

It’s so cool how you can rank order players completely based on their team’s results.

I am pretty sure I heard that Jaon put that site together or it was his idea or something like that for his oldest kid (FSU commit).

Not based on team results, based on ECNL in CA vs. ECNL in DMV. There absolutely are starters here who can start there, but most if not all the starters there would also start here. Not my opinion, it appears to be the opinion of D1 coaches based on committments.

To clarify the Regional ID that happend in the fall had several players from almost all teams around here hence regional designation. Union and Bethesda both had 5 then. The u14 national team camp just happened with 80 players total, 20 from each Region. At that camp there were 3 Bethesda, 2 Union, 1 NVA, and 1 VDA from our neck of the woods. And of course West beat East, not sure why they would even bother doing that other than to allow girls to perform well playing potentially with some other girls they are familiar with.
