[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the questions is what do ECNL folks really expect the former DA clubs to do? They have talented players and coaches. Do they really just think the clubs will turn to dust and float away like a Thanos snap?

They will band together and form a league. Mocking it will not make it go away. The battle now will be for players, just as before. And if DA players move to ECNL not every current ECNL player will stay on the team. Those players may very well end up looking for spots in the team they previously mocked.

This will be disruptive for all. [/quote]

Agreed.  IMHO, on both a local and national level, the few remaining DA teams -- those that weren't accepted by ECNL -- will see many of their top players leave for ECNL.  A few of the girls displaced from those ECNL teams will go to their club's B team, but most will go elsewhere, including those ex-DA teams.  The result of all this disruption will be the ECNL teams will have more more talented rosters, and the ex-DA teams will still be good, but nowhere near as good before all of this nonsense.  [/quote]

Again, the older team at Arlington and even more so at FCV have no compelling reason to leave their team to join a weaker ECNL with the break-in period in their recruiting year or years.  If you are an 03 and not committed, why leave unless you are not getting playing time and only if you can start on BRYC or McLean 03 - the only good 03 ECNL teams right now in this area.  If you are an 04, why leave at all?  FCV and Arlington are by far the best 04 teams in the area and unless the rosters break up, why leave to go to an inferior team and have to break into a new group of players with politics and oversized rosters?  If you are on 05 - same as 04.  06 and younger is a different story.  Not recruiting years and the survivability of the GAL starts to matter. The GAL's survival is less important the older the ex-DA players are.  For 03 and 04 it only needs to get them through one year.

This is obviously an 03 parent willing to join a questionable long term destination because they think its best for their kid. Who cares about the 06s and whats good for club longterm. the GAL will likely fail like GDA.[/quote]

Yes, 03 parents and i hope all parents will do what’s best for their kid. Depending on what clubs decide, that’s either stay or leave. Easy. [/quote]

The clubs will figure a league out. Again, the clubs didn’t fail, a league was pulled out from underneath them. If the SAME clubs stay together what is the difference? Your sorry 04 or 03 ECNL team is not getting an infusion of talent. 04’s and 03’s are not concerned with the half life of a new league as long as it can get them showcasing opportunities within the next year and a half. How is this so hard for you to understand?  [/quote]

Saving this comment. We will see.[/quote]

Why do you care so much? Your in ECNL why so threatened? Do you obsess this much over EDP? [/quote]
