5. Loudoun - 32 points

Yes, sadly it doesn’t look like Loudoun will be making it to Champions League. They should be a different position in a couple of years. They have lost better players up until this year. The other club’s teams have been together for a while. On some of the loudoun ECNL teams over 50% of players are new to the teams. Not making excuses, just stating facts.

Also, Loudoun is known to focus on their boy’s program. Now that they have a level higher than CCL for the girls, they need to step it up on their coaching for the girls side. Loudoun has some very qualified coaches, they don’t always take advantage of that. I believe with some change ups in coaching, you would see better performances.

Loudoun is a big club with a lot of players and money, why don't they go find the best coaches in the area and pay them

What are you talking about?

Number of Loudoun coaches with the following USSF licenses:
A - 9
B - 9
C - 6

Looks like those licenses are translating to the field

This would be more meaningful if you calculated ppg. Straight points mean nothing if they haven't played the same amount of games.

This is how the points calculated in virtually every professional league. What matters for standings is the number of points earned at any given point in time. If a particular team played less games than competition, it will catch up in terms of games as the season progresses.

What a noob. ECNL tracks standings by PPG because each club has the freedom to adjust their showcase schedules to suit them. At any point in time the number of games played varies.

You must be having problems with reading comprehension. I referenced how professional leagues keep the standings. ECNL is not a professional league. When Loudoun U18/19 team earns 3 points up to this point in the season, it is a better reflection of the strength of the team than the fact that it played 9 games, while other teams played 7-11 games each. McLean is in the first place in that age group with the most points earned even though they played less games than any other team in that age group.

LOL. There is certainly some irony that PR department of the worst performing ECNL club is bragging about the types of licenses its coaches have.

Oh, pardon me, I stupidly thought you were inferring that ECNL should do it like the pro's. But now you pointed out that ECNL is not a professional league so ... what was your point again ?

Here are the total points by club. Frankly NoVA ECNL clubs are all simply arguing about who is the best at being average:

Points by club:
1. NC Fusion - 118
2. Carolina Elite - 105
3. NCFC - 89
4. BRYC - 87
5. Richmond - 86
6. McLean - 82
7. Carolina Rapids - 73
7. VDA - 73
8. South Carolina - 61
9. Loudoun - 41
10. Wilmington - 31

"Frankly NoVA ECNL clubs are all simply arguing about who is the best at being average:"

You're talking about kids here. Kids who are training and competing harder than 95% of kids their age. There's nothing average about that in my book. The last place ECNL team is made up of talented, hardworking KIDS who may not be able to beat the 4.9% above them, but who have value and deserve respect. Get over yourself. It's fine to debate the merits of one club over another or to criticize coaches and club management, but at the end of the day, the young athletes whose performance is ranked by standings deserve more respect than this.

1. Nothing was said about kids.

2. Save your outrage for whoever posted the following in the first place:

If you want to discuss the merits of clubs then understand that 3 of the 4 NoVA ECNL clubs are 6th or worse in their division so deriding Loudoun or any other club in the area is pointless when club by club in the region none are really setting the world on fire. The point of a ECNL or DA is to compete on a national level. If you want to do the big fish small pond debate of local club vs local club then put your kid back into CCL.

Get over your ECNL self...just because a kid plays in ECNL doesn't mean they train or compete harder than anybody.
Unquestionably, some players do. However, I'd bet you find an equal amount of girls who compete and work just as hard at the ODSL, NCSL, or CCL level.
Some of them are probably better players as well.
I'm not saying that ECNL players aren't talented, but playng in ECNL requires some level of talent, some level of motivation, and the means to meet the commitment both financial and from a time perspective.
If your kid plays in ECNL, good for them, but you need to keep your reality in check.

You people are idiots. We are in an area with a ton of ECNL and DA options. The teams aren't average, but there is definitely a dilution of talent. Stop looking for rainbows and unicorns. Focus on your own player and what's best for her/him.

Sorry, diluted talent = average teams

True, but there are plenty of clubs (DA and ECNL) that would be happy to collect $10K per year by selling to gullible parents that their DD and her team are special/elite/top/premier, etc.
