Let me get this straight. BRYC and McLean are picking up players, so they will get better. MU is picking up players, but they will still be terrible?

BRYC is picking up VSA players. Not VDA. McLean are picking up odfc players.

The below is all in reference to 05 girls.

Two of the girls new to McLean are from FCV. They were offered spots on the FCV DA team this spring, but turned those offers down. They use to play for ODFC before that entire team moved to FCV in spring 2018 and won the state cup and got to east region semis (all pre-DA and ECNL age). Same team one of the better players on MU's 05 team also came from last year. Great kids and parents. Best of luck to all of them!!

Point being to all this discussion, if you're kid is on one of these 8 teams ... your kid is one of the top 150 players in their age group and gender (assuming 18 per team and 8 teams). That's a great accomplishment for them. Keep it up and good luck next season!!

None of those players were offered FT positions on the DA is why they left. They valued playing time the most important.

Incorrect.

No, poster is correct. I saw some of the same 'better players' trying out THIS year for FCV. PT offers only.

Both of you saw one of the 'better players' from Spirit 05 from ODFC trying out for FCV since this spring started?

Yes

Better Spirit 05 AND ODFC 05?

I didn't state the age group.

Your point? I am seeing things dangerously close to identifying children.

[Anonymous]

Well I don't know the people, they were just pointed out by others.

I can't see how saying that a person was at a public place infringes on privacy or identifies children. Anyone at the field that day would have seen players.

Yes but putting on the megaphone of social media is not a parental expectation.

I agree, but to read this forum, some parents act like it is. Too many times a poster "demands" a name as if they have a "right" to know.

This forum is hardly a megaphone. And players know other players, especially at the top. Parents shouldn't 'expect' any privacy. Kids and parents talk.

[Anonymous]

I disagree. Thousands of people read this. It makes you leery of just checking something else out. No one wants their kid basically publicly identified. I think this practice should stop.

Is this a year to year thing? I think there may be more interested parents if this is something that has sustainability. Right now it seems a lot of questions. Just to be honest.

I think one thing that has come out of Spirit DA and will extend into MU is a core group of players in most of the age groups that can play and want to play at the DA level. So it will likely sustain and thrive. I thought when we joined, being part of an NWSL would make the program great. Instead, it was an anchor. They actually charged us to watch the pro team practice.

I know we will have to prove it next year, but from the inside, I can tell we are going to be doing what needed to be done all along. It's going to be a good year for the families that choose MU.

Who is we? Is this a kid from the program?
