Herndon Youth Soccer vs. Total Futbol

[Anonymous]

We have a DP on our ECNL team. No idea what they pay as far as club fees but they pay team fees and are basically full members of the team. They do all practices and all games

We have 3 DP's on our team. Only 2 can play in an ECNL game at a time. Arlington and McLean can really load up the rosters now!

It's not much of a partnership. All ECNL teams offer 2 discovery positions per age group (U18/19 offers 4). This is part of ECNL Girls and Boys for every ECNL club. The idea is to offer spots to players who want to continue playing for their club, which doesn't offer national league play, but have the skills to be on an ECNL team. It helps the ECNL team and the discovery players. Those players pay part of the fees. In the case of HYS/Arlington, the players will not need to pay the fee and that's the "partnership."

SO Herndon players can be DP for Arlington for free? That is a good deal.

Not sure if Herndon or Arlington is covering the cost but that's what was announced to Herndon families.

Normally, they pay about $200 in club fees, plus team fees (Veo, tournaments, etc.). Sounds like Herndon and Arlington have some agreement to eliminate these fees.

This makes sense now. There have been several HYS players showing up at the last few Arlington practices. Also - some players have heard about next years ECNL spots just not everyone. Hence, the new players showing up at practices to try out.

How about Metro U, or is that what you’re assuming will absorb all its new partner clubs to form one big club?

Metro U still exists due to the partnerships they have with virtually every club in NOVA

Isn't this what ECNL wants. All the smaller clubs to feel like they are left out and will close up shop so then ECNL can be the Super league? Then next year they'll change their name to SCNL and have a good run for two to three years. and about this time a new league will be formed to take all the SCNL clubs and people will say how horrible it is.

Loudoun and bryc will be replaced due to underperformance.


Loudoun has been notified via leaks about it and tries to revamp their whole entire coaching slate to do damage control.

Braddock road will be first for sure. Loudon not so sure about them being kicked out because of the size of the club. They're just as big as Arlington is in a huge area, I don't think they're going to get the boot.

That’s what they(and you) want to believe. In fact, that is one of the main reasons. How does a club of that size, with that pool, and the ONLY club that owns field have such horrendous performance?


Staffers, paid minions and other fanboys will spew their “we have nothing but A and B licenses”.

As if that made their case even better. They’re that delusional. People have opened their eyes and the community laughs at that so called club.

I look at it as they just aren't getting the talent to the teams. It's not a destination club anymore. i don't think any one particular club is developing better players. It's just all the talent going to one or two particular clubs. The reality is there should be only three, maybe four "elite" teams and the rest should be competitive.
