I disagree with this. Coaches absolutely develop players and some do a better job than others, and therefore clubs with better coaches do a better job of developing players than others. To believe that this is not the case requires either that coaching has no impact on a player's development, or that all coaches are identical in ability. As far as I can tell from the perspective of a parent whose DS has played against them regularly for years, Loudoun's coaching is not horrible (ethics are a different matter), but it is not amongst the best either. |
What does "notified via leaks" mean? And is this the girls teams, or the boys teams, or both? |
Who will they be replaced by? Is promotion and relegation happening? It looks like ECNL-RL is set up for that now, but it might not make sense to have clubs moving up and down every year either. |
| Loudoun ain’t moving down. Same guy spreading this trash on thread after thread |
Loudoun hasn’t been in long and they are competitive at younger age groups so they will get a few years. BRYC is struggling at every level though. I don’t think they last in ECNL beyond this year. Likely replacement is either no one or the best performing club in ECNL-R (likely Beach FC, Vienna, or SOCA). |
| Where will you Leesburg suckers do when loudoun is booted out like a h0e from ECNL and which hole will you crawl back into when the inevitable happens? |
OR FCV gets ECNL |
| This is laughable. Ecnl is not dropping any club. If anything, some clubs may join GAL. SOCA just joined. Maybe VYS |
Skyline joined GAL. SOCA and beach fc just joined ecnl regional league. I could see some CCL teams jumping to GAL, but that league is trending down while ecnl regional is trending up. Why leave RL for similar competition but less stability and more travel? No way VYS or any other RL club wants that. |
I thought Skyline and SOCA were the same club - that the teams which used to be called SOCA just took the name Skyline this year. And Syline (FKA SOCA) joined GAL for girls and ECNL for boys. I wasn't aware that they had also joined ECNL-R. |
| Arlington boys joined ECNL last year and the girls GAL-and girls are getting ECNL this year. SOCA girls likely will get ECNL next year. |
Again, explain why you hate Loudoun and Leesburg and everything in this county so much please. |
|
Bryc should get booted from Ecnl, they don’t compete in any age group.
|
SOCA to regional league https://www.richmondkickersyouth.com/news_article/show/1159633 On the girls side, VYS won 5 of the 8 age groups last season. The league will be deeper and better next year, but those teams are solid. Should be good competition with Beach and SOCA. |
| Starting at U13 the clubs that have encl or gal pull out the best players from the RL teams - the level of competition is highest at u12 |
