I have a question as someone who is not nearly as knowledgeable about or invested in this stuff as most on here appear to be

This merger means there is one less ECNL club in the area, correct? And at the oldest age groups, there are these so-called “trapped” players who still have a year of HS left and this will be moving to a younger age group. So the net effect is that there will be a massive influx of kids into the oldest age group, and with far fewer spots available.

It seems like the net effect will be tons of players who are currently on ECNL teams, be it at the oldest or second-oldest age groups, will suddenly be stuck without a team? And for those who haven’t signed with colleges, at a massively important moment in the recruiting process.

So whatever childish arguments are being had on this board between parents, the real losers in this process will be dozens of kids whose careers and recruitments are being totally disrupted due to the incompetence and unprofessionalism of the entire youth soccer enterprise, and particularly the craven antics of the people who run the ECNL.

While the parents on here cry into their travel soccer invoices and lament the loss of their SAHM cocktail party bragging rights about their supertalented kids playing on AN ECNL TEAM!, as always it’s the kids who end up getting totally screwed.

"Earlier this month, we were informed by the ECNL league that our National Program membership for the Virginia Union was in jeopardy due to poor performance, particularly on the boys side."

and

"ECNL feels that Fairfax County is an over-saturated market and given our performance in recent years, our boys program was one of the organizations under consideration for expulsion from the league.

So MYS is being transparent about communication with ECNL, in a message intended for ECNL and ECNL-R--in other words, the facts and are already known here--and parent response is to call this "crappy" and "disinformation"? Come on.
