That's not true. Arlington families got a notification yesterday that they would in fact be joining girls da, but only for u-13 (06), 14 (05), and 15 (04) next year and also would be expanding to u-15 on the boys side. Loudoun is joining girls da, so ccl is really going to suck next year isn't it |
Loudoun is joining girls ecnl** |
|
What a mess all of this has become. 3 DA, 3 ECNL for NOVA girls.
|
That would be 4 NOVA ECNL clubs and 6 DMV ECNL clubs total. 4 DMV DA clubs total. |
|
Spirit is now surrounded by 2 GDA's (Arlington and FCV) and 3 ECNL clubs (Mclean, BRYC, Loudoun). I can hear them screaming "REMEMBER THE ALAMO" as the anaconda chokes the air from their lungs....But seriously, the DA is not doing itself any favors.
This further weaken Spirits player pool and thus their teams....which in turn will boost surrounding ECNL teams and keep their player pools in check. The idea is to steal their player pool....HELLOOOOOOO Is steal to harsh? How about asked kindly to transfer from ECNL to GDA. |

This has been going on as long as I was a kid and they wanted to completely abolish WAGS. This has never been about kids. It's always been about adult's egos. We call things by different names every 5 years or so, but it's the same game being played over and over again. Same with the boys' side, btw. And, US soccer isn't getting any better for it. |
CCL already has sucked for quite some time. Look at the results of the boys' tournament last weekend. See how many smaller non-CCL clubs were in the Finals compared to CCL teams (including the host club). |
That doesn't mean anything. It's not like all CCL teams participated. There were other brackets where both CCL teams were the finalist. |
