The VDA hype train still not enough to overcome mediocre u13-15 teams.

Oh, the talent level is set and is above average, but not great.

These remaining slots are for who you know not how you play.

Not great? Are you one of those people who says DMV soccer is garbage? Top players from top clubs in the area joined. Unless Arlington gets outside skilled players than VDA rising u13 will be best ECNL in the area.

Compared to the North Atlantic, yes. But Arlington and RU will be the better teams by a lot with FVU ending up even further down the standings. I think GA is mostly to blame here for diluting the talent pool and mediocre DMV soccer

RU will be good, not sure by a lot though. Arlington tied VSA this fall so unless they get a lot of outside talent then they won’t be as competitive.

VSA 2014 is not strong at all. That Arlington team they tied was a U11/2015 Arlington team. In fact VSA 2014 got beat badly by GFR and both Richmond teams. I hope VDA has some good outside options for their secret tryouts.

Obviously you weren’t there and don’t know what you are talking about. If you know the Arlington first team, the you’d k ow the 2014s were there. They are swapping kids for certain opponents but not this game. Also VSA hasn’t played orange yet. Nice try guy. If you are going to lie then pick things that people can’t fact check.

Sorry you’re right. VSA didn’t play RU Orange yet but will in April. But they did lose badly to RU Red 7-2 and got shut out by GFR 2-0. And no that is not Arlington’s 2014 team that you tied it was the 2015…. It’s listed as a U11 team.

good job using google. You are not informed about Arlington but keep trying. VSA plays GFR next weekend and maybe a Richmond team so I guess we will see.

PP is correct. Arlington 2014 PreECNL has been playing up to 11v11. The team you played is definitely u11. Check gotsport for the details.

We played Arlington recently too. Definitely recognize the team as u12. Spoke to a parent on that team and they are doing both. Using u12 against good teams and other players against not so good teams. This is why their record is erratic.

Has Arlington ECNL U13 already been set?

How about FVU and VDA? How long do these clubs take to solidify their rosters after tryouts?

We played Arlington last fall 11v11 and we were supposed to play their Academy 2 team, but the Academy team showed up. It was easy to tell by the 'ECNL' patches on the jerseys. Our coach just said they shift teams around all the time.

Always a spot for one more.

However, id think most would be close to finalized. Probably at 15 kids that have committed.

Wonder who bails after seeing the roster.

Does anyone know the composition of the U13 FVU team in terms of what clubs they are coming from? Did they strive for a mix of players from the feeder clubs or is it many from one club and zero from another?

Heavily waited to Villa, LMVSC, and Herndon. FVU is focusing on taking weaker players and developing them to be stronger. MV has a plan.

Ignoring the trolls… my guess is that the team will be mostly Valor girls and 2-3 from the other feeders combined. The rest will be outsiders.

Handful from valor. Who knows about the rest, but hopefully most are outsides because aligned clubs are very bad. Outlook doesn’t look good.

u15 next year will be more than fine. Tread carefully. That team will be no pushover. Hope everyone is ready.

The patches are total BS btw. Your story could be true, but there's a lot of reason for the patches that don't line up with your narrative. (Kids move down, old jerseys, maybe played up, but moved down etc).

Exactly! It would not have been an ECNL patch anyway. It would have been an ECNL RL patch which the 2015s would have also.

Tread carefully for what. Because you have a bunch of girls playing with a younger grade while pushing out most of the existing team? Bringing in outside girls to also play with the younger grade? Still need to prove it on the field.

If this was about development or recruiting, would this be happening? If it’s not, then why are they doing it?
