[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of years ago no one would have believed that Loudoun would join ECNL either![/quote]

They only joined ECNL because they were turned down for DA and the FCV partnership fiasco.  They would be all in DA, given the chance.  They just weren't.

Arlington isn't the same case.[/quote]

Arlington's boys DA was not expanded and their girls DA is going to be a second tier team next year.[/quote]

This is the reason Arlington will be leaving.  They can't get boys DA to be expanded.  Therefore, they are out and taking boys and girls to ECNL.  Yes, i am the person that initially stated this rumor from a good source  [/quote]

I have heard this rumor and while I don't know any inside information, there are a couple of interesting things to note:

* US Soccer is rumored to be considering the elimination of the U13 DA program for boys. This would leave Arlington with just the U14 Boys DA program, which is certainly not ideal.

* DC United is moving, which is leaving a gap in DA coverage for the DC metro region and the PG County area, where several players come from. If you attended any of the Arlington DA ID sessions, you'd note a few of the DCU DA players checking out Arlington as Loudon is probably too far for them to consider. US Soccer may consider an expansion for Arlington in the future to make up for the geographic gap that is now being created. [/quote]
