[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in the Arlington GA thread there is talk about mutual non-compete among local clubs.

[quote] Well 2008’s now have Clyde as their primary coach. Many will stay for the exposure and all have been guaranteed spots. Cant argue with Clyde’s track record as the girls get toward high school no matter how much of an ASA booster you are.

I call BS on arlington giving outside offers at this point. Many area clubs agreed to not actively recruit from each other’s 
rosters during the pandemic so arlington would be flying in the face of yhat...

First I've heard of a mutual non-compete clause for outside players. What clubs have agreed to do this?[/quote]

I have heard from two friends who were looking to changes clubs but the new clubs are not responding. This would explain it. One friend was excited because the new club cost significantly less then his kid’s current club. The other had talked to a coach at the new club and was told(unofficial) her kid would make their first team.
So now both have to stay where they are until the clubs decides to let them go?  It seems very unfair specially to kids. They have such a short period of time to play. How true do you think this is? Do you think it is legal(antitrust)?[/quote]

If the GA clubs are sharing financial risk/reward by joining the GA, then a non-compete among the GA member clubs might be fine from a legal standpoint.  Depends on the exact facts, however.[/quote]

Well it would be between Arlington and Mclean. I could see it. The ASA boys just joined the ECNL. So now same league for both clubs on boys sides. It makes sense that ASA girls side will join ECNL sometime in the future. The rumors are next year. So the two clubs get together. Mclean says you do not accept any of our girls, we will not accept your girls and Mclean will not oppose your application to the ECNL next year. Done and done![/quote]

That’s a possibility. I’m aware of some teams that are supposedly switching clubs — i.e. a coach taking teams teams to another club — between 2 “DMV United” clubs so I don’t think the DMV United agreement means anything, but certainly could be some deal making between a couple of clubs.[/quote]

The rumor is from the Arlington GA thread and the posters talks about Clyde(Mclean girls). So that is Arlington girls and Mclean Girls. [/quote]
