[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The three HYS teams that are playing in EDP are likely playing there because they are not good enough to play in ECNL-R but too snooty to play in NCSL which they see as beneath them.

None of the girls teams should be playing ECNL-R. The two remaining girls' teams that are playing Pre-ECNL are getting their butts kicked and they should be playing in NCSL.

Herndon is clinging to the idea that they are still an elite club when all they do is beg mediocre rec players to join their travel teams so that they can take their money and send any halfway decent players (boys only) over to VDA.

It really is a shame on the girls side.   I don't know if it's the pool of players or leadership decisions why the boys side is far superior.  I would love to have that 5 min commute back. [/quote]

So is Herndon ok for boys? Are they known for developing players? Do teams tend to improve over the years or is it more luck of the draw with certain age groups having more talent than others and not much upward movement in rankings etc as they get older? [/quote]
They certainly have more players/teams on the boys side.   At my daughters elementary school if boys play travel it's at Herndon. (Demographics play a role here soccer does happen at recess and she claims she is the only girl that plays) Herndon highschool boys do pretty good with a coach from HYS.   I can't speak for the quality of Coaching it's just the understanding that it's a small club with perhaps a smaller pool on the girls side vs boys. 
 Perhaps it was timing but the fact that my dd's age doesn't have a travel team and their social media appears to be trying to recruit the rec all stars to start a team.  If they could provide development instead of Arlington guest players to win the lowest bracket of a tournament maybe they would still have some girls teams. [/quote]
