Most are openly talking amongst themselves already which ID sessions they are going to.

spoken like a parent who’s in the know. THIS IS THE WAY…

Off principle my DD will be as others said… taking time off or playing for another GA club if they cant find a new roster spot.

NVA can rest on their laurels w the older teams who have committed. But the younger ones ….. lmao in the wind. And whichever ecnl club manages to snag the 2012s as a whole will be the smartest in the region.

I will bet you English grammar lessons, which you really need, no club takes the whole 2012 team. It doesn't work that way. This is simply delusional parent talk.

the word is out… if you are nervous you guys should be. Hubris and poor planning and communication doesn’t work out well in the end.

If you are this invested…you need some help. Find a club that’s a good fit for your kid and family. If your that worried about your kid not going to college bc of GA………then go and join an ecnl club like u said.

fixed… i think they are saying they will. And if the parents chat is true we probably will do the same. This may be another legendary week in dcum.

Is it possible they do something like McLean and FVU? NVA stays ECNL and Loudoun somehow splits and moves to GA?

they will talk with their $$ and take it right over down the street at evergreen with the rest of the smart parents. And maybe even take some young families with them off the pathway to….??

Now get back to your early joe and figuring out how your gonna spin this to the families.

no early on in this thread it was communicated that they failed in that venture. Now they will fail all around. With that said some eyes should be in BSC if ecnl or ga is hard-lining mlsn. I wish that was the plan over at NVA but it sounds like GA and Aspire is inbound…..

Been reading and trying to process this all over the past few days here on DCUM and have to say this post is a breath of fresh air.
All us parents have the power, we just sometimes fail to realize it. Thank you!

Blah, that 2012 team wouldn’t win it all in GA either…

Exactly. It’s the parents of fringe kids on an ecnl team that talk tough. They are worried little Susie won’t get recognized.


If your kid is good, they are good no matter the league.

And if you have enough money, just start your own club and eventually repeat the same cycle of BS.

They probably have a better chance of winning it all in GA than any of these clubs around here winning it all in ECNL. Let's be real no FVU team at any age group is winning it all. Arlington 2011 is the only team in that club that MAYBE could win something. VDA 09 is the only team in that club that could MAYBE win something. There is no other team from any club remaining in ECNLthat has a shot!
All these people on here yapping about ECNL this, GA that, ya'll ain't winning nothing. Find a place you like, play there, and let your kid grow to the best of their ability and have fun!

If NVA/Loudoun moves GA, is it just me or are there suddenly a congestion of GA teams in the loudoun area? Loudoun, VRSC, TSJFCV? It makes no sense to do that.

Everyone’s been saying that TSJ is losing GA, so congestion no longer.

This is true. Likely, this was a parent of one of the "lesser" players posting. The parents of the "stars" or mid players aren't worried. They know their kid will find a team. The moms and dads of bench warmers are experiencing tightening sphincters right about now.

from a business pov NVA is probably banking on the parents of the bench players going to GA or Aspire or whatever it is called as the starter will flee to greener pastures.

Its clear there are NVA staff in the chat. Think before you post. Tons of former girls are having a ball at Revolution on multiple teams who will welcome teamates who dont feel like sticking around.

And they actually have a facility… with a real bar… and bartender… and working tvs and…..
