{silence} I believe there are 1-2 RL girls on 2012 who are moving *back* to ecnl now that the roster size is increasing but they used to be on ecnl |
| Were any new outside players taken on The younger Arlington ECNL teams like 2014 or 2013? |
| 2013 picked up about 8-9 and 2014 picked up about 5-6. |
Really? From which clubs? They didn’t even have that many outside players at tryouts. |
| Some were age group down some were outside players. |
Literally every bag was Arlington except for maybe 3. Perhaps they recruited from their new NVA connection. |
Two separate Arlington RL conversations going on at the same time. Yes a few 2012s moving back to ECNL. No the 2011 RL team does not have any ECNL starter level girls on the team. |
This is completely false. They did not have 13-15 outside girls at tryouts and they had combined the 2013-14 tryouts. |
It wouldn’t be surprising if there were that many “new” girls to the team though. There’s a massive five months of girls moving age groups, and girls are moving down an age group to ones where they are now the bigger and stronger ones. |
| Has Arlington made all of its offers for its Red/RL girls’ teams? |
Arlington recruits--not all outside players have to tryout |
Offers start next week. |
That's dumb |
i c what you did there. Tbf his old club is a sinking ship on the girls side. All of those players should have wanted to make that jump to Arl and FVU and any other GA club |
| From my experience you have to move clubs to move up if you aren't one of those players who was identified at an early age group for ECNL national. We had near zero opportunities to join an ECNL club and had to go to a lower performing GA club. Because many GA clubs in NOVA often play the ECNL clubs in various tournaments (Rayados, Jeff Cup) it was that exposure that opened the door for us. The coach indicated that it was our play in one of those tournaments that left an impression on the coach of the ECNL club we played. After playing a year or two with an ECNL club we got interest from DI, DII, and DIII schools. I think it is ridiculous to think that DI schools are the goal here. At the point where you are looking at schools it is more about the right fit and not about bragging rights. Frankly many players won't stay at the same school over their college career. Even if your dream is to play DI you might do well to start with a DIII school and then hit the portal. |
