Are Herndon and SYC doing an Alliance too? |
Herndon, Metro,SYC, Mclean, and Bethesda are all forming a alliance |
| Barca Academy is part of this too. |
With black socks. |
White shoes will be mandatory |
A part of what? |
| Any updates on what's happening with Herndon/Total Futbol? |
| Partnership with Arlington is just ECNL discovery players. For those Arlington parents who were wondering what's happening because they didn't hear anything from Arlington. |
| Seems like Herndon entered into a partnership with Arlington that Arlington didn't know about. |
This is happening with Herndon players and a bunch of ECNL clubs. This is nothing new to the top Herndon players. Just a ploy to keep the rest of the kids at Herndon by letting them think they are going to become ECNL players |
It's not much of a partnership. All ECNL teams offer 2 discovery positions per age group (U18/19 offers 4). This is part of ECNL Girls and Boys for every ECNL club. The idea is to offer spots to players who want to continue playing for their club, which doesn't offer national league play, but have the skills to be on an ECNL team. It helps the ECNL team and the discovery players. Those players pay part of the fees. In the case of HYS/Arlington, the players will not need to pay the fee and that's the "partnership." |
SO Herndon players can be DP for Arlington for free? That is a good deal. |
| ^ That seems like something that will really bother Arlington parents, who will essentially be subsidizing Herndon players by paying tournament entry fees, coach expenses, etc. |
When was that announced? |
| So we are in Arlington. Should we go tryout for Herndon? |
