Why?

Because their paid staff take a financial hit and lose control.

(REPEAT AFTER ME: Money and Control)

So what's the truth. Is it really about the kids?

Remember that when you talk all the loyalty BS....because one paying customer is easily replaced by another.


Go back and reread your post... You sound like a scorned and bitter woman.

Disagree. We are in McLean and PP sounds exactly right. It is all about money. They maxed out every roster this year for that very reason. ECNL no different.

Well if you think your club is unique in that respect, you're wrong. FCV did the same thing at all levels. WS too. At least WS rotates their bench a little. But I digress. The PP was questioning why McLean does not join WS, as if WS isn't about the money as well.

McLean ECNL would not form an alliance with WS for obvious reasons-conflict of interest between DA and ECNL.

Agree on roster sizes in McLean for the younger teams at U12 and below-way too big!!!

Umm, you don't play in McLean. When coaches are told to max rosters because of revenue issues, that is unique. Look around the DMV and you will find clubs that don't max rosters.

Wonder if they just plan to take a mix of current Red and White players and call it a day.


So tonight's 05 tryouts were similar to last night's - about 25 girls, around 5-6 from outside clubs. 2 or 3 from Mclean ECNL, a few from Mclean Green, SYA, Loudoun. I don't think they'll only take Arlington players. Some of the Red team won't make it, some won't want to make the DA commitment. Maybe 1 or 2 from the lower teams, but there were no real standouts there. The girls who came from outside were good and some of them should get offers.

^^^Did coaches say anything to 05 girls about when and how they would hear anything after the ID sessions?

The problem with some of you is that you have little kids and think little kid ball is the same a HS age ball. It's not. Loudoun has good youth teams...and then downhill. They could never retain their talent because of Mclean or FCV ECNL. Now they can't retain because of DA.

This board is for u14 and above. Having good teams at u9 and u12 is directly related to their pool size. Nothing more.


Thanks for clarifying that this board is only for u14 and above. Give me a break.

I am assuming you think Loudoun getting an ECNL team will have zero impact on U14+ soccer? You said yourself that Loudoun kids always went to McLean or FCV ECNL. Now those kids have an national ECNL platform starting this fall at their own club past U12. But all of them will leave right?

I guess it’s Rec ball for all of those 80 Loudoun travel players each year. You really understand youth soccer. LOL.

When parents bash Loudoun it’s almost always FCV. The FCV parents bigger fear is that Loudoun retains more talent with ECNL. That would crush FCV DA. On the FCV U14 DA team, the best player came from Loudoun and she is the only 05 play up on the team. Look at how many goals she has scored versus the rest of the team.

Without the Loudoun pipeline, FCV is in BAD shape. Their future DA talent is not coming from their youth program. They can barely field 2 teams at each age group in the littles. Some age groups it is 1 team or none. FCV 08G is barely one team. Do they even have a 09G team? The youth teams rely on a couple of players they run ragged and shuffle between age groups to fill rosters. They can’t keep coaches either. The youth program struggles to say the least.

^^^Please ignore these clowns. I am an MD parent but recognize that Loudon is a dominant player in the DMV. ECNL will only help the club retain and attrack.

And for all the folks who insist that DA will take all the talent, consider how many girls out there excel at other sports and want to play HS soccer. They will not pursue DA.

That's exactly what I'm saying about Loudoun. Still waiting on the name of that national level team that dominates.

Their best team with potential was their 05 team. They lost a few top players and poof..complete implosion. They have 5 teams in that age group and still couldn't replace the talent lost. So don't tell me about the numbers. Theyre bleedng talent to the DA and the trend will not reverse. They only got ECNL because FCV gave it up.

The ignorance is stunning. People sit here and talk about Loudoun being a pipeline for another club in which they have no affiliation. It's like theyre cool with giving up their lunch money. SUCKERS

The best Loudoun SC kids wear FCV jerseys...LMFOA...and you'll bragging about it...lol

Why are some posters suggesting all the teams/players 03 and older are non-factors that need to age out? That’s a huge net.

You are very wrong. The best Loudoun players wear Washington Spirit jerseys. As in the pro team. Two former Loudoun youth players are current professionals with the Spirit. One even starts on defense. Yes that's the same team that has 4-5 USWNT pro players. Yes I am bragging about it and I am NOT affiliated with the WS. But that pro player on Spirit? Her youth soccer head coach is still at Loudoun coaching the next generation.

Can't say that for FCV. 100% turnover in coaches since then. Sorry FCV has never produced a pro player but keep drinking their Kool Aid and pretend ECNL did not just happen for Loudoun. Keeping hoping that does not change the landscape.

Keep looking in the rearview mirror. Your ignorance is obvious. LMFAO.

Brittney Basinger?

She plays for Spirit and she listed her club as FCV. Is that who you are referring to...because if so...wow...that kind of backfired.
