A little better?

Last year McLean lost to VDA:
2-0
2-1
4-1

They lost to Richmond:
4-0
5-1

This year Union tied both so far. They seem to more than a little better but they are still far from dominant or elite.

And you are still losing to Loudoun.

Perhaps both improved?

Loudoun was 5-4-3 last year in ECNL league play, so far this year they are already 4-2 in league play.

Wow unbelievable the parents who spend their day pulling the stats. Who cares! No one will remember about anything of this next season.

Perhaps if people didn’t spend their day spewing unsubstantiated negative narratives.

The amount of time people spend just talking trash about teams that 13 year old girls play on is baffling.

Actual facts are also harder to argue against.

This is not about the girls it all about the parents. Still pulling up results is pretty easy.

Really? Because it is girls teams that are being discussed. It is just to hard for people to just say “good game” and move on.

When someone says a team improved it is immediately met with “well they lost to this team”. When both teams are given credit for possibly improving, giving credit to both, then it is met with “what a loser who spends their time looking up stats and facts”. Perhaps the loser is trying to discredit a girls team based on some perceived need to validate one’s life choices by tearing another team of girls down.

You're absolutely correct about both teams improving. Not only have they improved over last Season but they are still improving as the Season rolls on along with other Clubs.

I think we can all agree that Loudoun and VA Union improved. VDA regressed. BRYC is about the same. The jury is still out with respect to Arlington.

From here out the teams do not change a lot. Well unless some team/club blows up and there is a mass movement. That usually only happens once every three year or some.

I am interested in thoughts when DD moves to a different team, how quickly she can integrate into a new coaching system, adapt to a new club culture, and be accepted by her new teammates. At this age, a change like this could be an early life lesson that other girls her age may not experience until stepping onto a college campus or entering the job market.

You can expect another 3-5 players joining your DD’s ECNL team over the next two years.

If you are part of McLean/VA Union you can expect 18 new players will be added once they get Nadir for a coach. This is on top of the current players

Right and it is awful for many players. A few ones may excel but the rest won’t see much progress. I’ll select the team and probably that focus on my kids progress, coach individual player attention/correct. What you describe is like sending your kids to a school with 30+ classmates with one teacher.

Lol, by U17 those players who didn’t excel will be replaced by kids from other clubs.

I could see it being a good option for girls who want to practice and play at a high level but do not want to do the travel or play another sport. After u13/14 many girls quit. Add in the number of ECNL and GA teams in the area and the skill level of the non ECNL and non GA options really drops. The ECNL-r and CCL are horrible.

So you practice with the ECNL team but play locally in the EDP. If you have any skill this is better vs being on the second team or a first team at the other clubs.

ECNL level is horrible too, except for Arlington, which is the only local team that did not get blown out by NC Courage.

There are just a lot of options which mean the talent get spread out. No problem with that. It gives more kids options if they do not like the style of play, coach, drive time, etc. The worst thing to happen in this area would be consolidation.
