McLean is to blame for their turnover. If they would learn to stick with their current players and not recruit over top of them they would stay strong. Instead they go out recruiting. Most of the players they bring in are not top players and it makes their current ones unhappy and they leave. McLean 2005 team would be a powerhouse if they hadn't brought in a bunch of new girls and benched the better ones. 2/3 of the team left. They are doing above average now but I would argue that they would be a top team had Clyde not angered so many of his parents. The McLean 2008 team has lost top players to Arlington and FCV this year.

Where did the McLean 05 girls go?

Metro United

I heard they spread out between Metro United and Arlington. I don't think any went to FCV, though not sure if any tried out.

If anything, McLean needs to recruit at the 06 level-05 team still staying strong despite losing several good players 2 years ago to Arlington and Metro U (McLean 05 ECNL is currently ranked higher in the state than either Arlington or Metro too, interestingly). 06 is a different story, on their second year of straight losses. Hopefully Clyde will step in for 2020 and recruit to make that team stronger too. They are the worst in the club.

What did Clyde do to anger 05 players and parents. If he is the "Yoda" of youth coaching, why would players leave?

Clyde had nothing to do with the players departures, he took over the team after the players left. The team is now one of the best teams in this area.

Strong are the questions with this one. Anger and leaving of parents does not lead to success for players 05!!!

FCV got 2.
Arlington got 3.
MU got 5.

Wrong. He coached the team at the U-13 ECNL age group. The departures took place after that season when 10 players left for the DA.

So it had more to do with the appeal of DA than Clyde?

Is this what you think happened to that 2005 team?

Wow, after losing 10 players, the team is ranked No. 1 in Virginia! Usually, teams nosedive after so many players depart. Why did the team improve so much?
