| Heard rumor that Arlington is leaving DA to go to ECNL. It is almost a done deal. |
Interesting. I have heard exact opposite. That Arlington wants nothing to do with ECNL boys or girls. |
How? It’s right next door to McLean. |
| Arlington was just awarded full girls DA for next year so no way are they moving to ECNL. |
Agreed......that would not make alot of sense. |
Did you hear this from a credible source? Just for girls? If the girls program stays in DA next year they would presumably be a second tier team? Would make sense if their goal is to play Loudoun, BRYC, Mclean, VDA. |
| A lot of their high school age players want to play at Yorktown. |
Then they have ECNL options (McLean, BRYC, VDA, Bethesda, MD United). The DA isn't for everyone. |
| Arlington also has announced they wont be announcing coaches for next year until mid May. It would be a lot easier if they did not have to find so many qualified DA coaches for next year. |
This issue has lead many of the top clubs to leave the DA for ECNL. |
Is this for 2019-2020 or 2020-2021? |
| A couple of years ago no one would have believed that Loudoun would join ECNL either! |
They only joined ECNL because they were turned down for DA and the FCV partnership fiasco. They would be all in DA, given the chance. They just weren't. Arlington isn't the same case. |
Huh? Loudoun turned down DA. They picked ECNL over DA. |
LOL you are absolutely insane if you think that. They wanted DA and couldn't get it. They settled for ECNL because they needed an elite platform. They were dumped from boys DA this year due to the u12 age group drop and were forced into "all-in" ECNL. Facts. |
