If you contact any ECNL or DA club, even now, they will look at you. Players can always be added if there is room.

That is what I'm saying. Some poster said there was no room, even though MU is holding ID sessions.

I'm aware clubs will look at a player at any time. Very easy.

So some poster was wrong. They cut the rosters WAY back -- many current players are not returning. That leaves a few slots for players that would fill needs or add value. MOST clubs (not WSVA) try to leave a little space. You never know when the next Marta is going to show up from out of town.... That's the smart play.

Well she will be playing for Metro United when she does show up.

Because I can count the number of wins they have this year on one hand? Maybe last year too?

They are improving though. And not being abused by the coaches. Win.

Not OP. The most expensive program in the area though with nothing to show for it.

ITS A NEW CLUB, players need to get used to other players, coaching,etc.
You can’t expect a fabulous team from the get go.....
Baby steps....

Been around for 2 years now. Other clubs in the area have been around for the same amount of time.

What if you come into town mid August. Too late to join an ECNL or DA team? Not everyone moves into town early. We are deciding on a move and haven't told anyone yet. We could stay also.

There is always room on any roster for a talented player.

Typically, but not always. As an example, we have friends from MA whose DS plays DA there. They are moving to CO for the fall. He went out to CO twice this spring for ID sessions and another time to just practice was the team. Was offered 2nd team at Real Colorado. Maybe that club/age group is just better, maybe not. His parents felt it seemed he was more skilled than many others out there, but of course that's their point of view.... -- but player selection sometimes is about not being able to tell enough from seeing a new player in a few, limited ID situations and therefore holding on to what you have and not displacing someone....

Well if the player is simply the same as what the roster has then if there isn't any room to the B team you go.

If a player is demonstrably better then there will be room on the roster. But for a tight roster a new late coming player needs to be a top 3-5 player.

Contact the coaches. If you are not rostered on a DA team then you can join if the talent is there.

I have never seen a club turn down a playejavascript:void(0);r who would help their team win...........regardless of the time of year.

I think a DA team can add players until April. Then the window closes.

Yes

Though not sure how that works if your already signed on for next season with a deposit and all. Would your team from this current year hold your player card for next if that’s the case I don’t see them granting a release. If one didn’t sign up I imagine that’s an easier situation.

It only matters if you are with another DA. If you are with any other team (ECNL or otherwise), you don't have to wait for July.

Actually DA teams don't even turn their rosters in until the end of the summer. Last year, players were added to DA rosters as late as August. I'm talking even FCV, for the right player, did so.

I think what was said was rosters are done, and they are. What that means is teams are formed. That doesn't mean they are stuffed to the gills with 22 players. This year, MU is keeping an intentionally small roster and will - as with any club - make room for that special player.
