GF-R 2008 top team basically disbanded with players moving to other clubs
McLean, Loudoun, and Villareal do not have 2008 teams in ECNL-RL for the fall season
FCV United and Herndon have 2008 teams in ECNL-RL for the fall season (Are these teams filling in a slot for MYS, LS, or ViVA?)
Does any of this sound correct?
I thought I’ve heard in the past that even for RL that clubs have to field teams in every age group. Maybe I’m incorrect.

They will be fielding teams in ECNL Regional next season. I'm definitely interested to see how the regional league will be structured with the addition of Valor, Mclean and BRYC. I'm guessing they will push Stafford to VA South.

There are always a few willing to travel but it's not the norm. It only gets interesting when there are 2 clubs in the same geographic area competing for the same players, but that is somewhat rare. The rest of these partnerships are marketing that has little real effect
Probably true.
As a family within their member club I can tell you that it is of my opinion that the credibility of what they present to you on paper or verbally is eroding. There are bright spots in VDA but being in the mix of a member club and seeing how they do business as they try to form their what they call 'Zone 1' its all smoke and mirrors to me. They have nothing to back up what they state their process is.
What’s everybody’s experience with communication within their clubs?
For example. I’ve been told there’s channels to properly communicate. Typically it goes through the coach first and then if they cannot give an answer it will normally move up the chain. Usually though the club leadership or directors.
