[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the thinking? 
I don't get it. 
Can someone explain the thinking?
Do kids beyond the top 11 get recruited to college?

ECNL doesn't guarantee you a college spot, you know that right?  :roll: [/quote]

It's all about $$$ money for the Club.[/quote]

^^^This. I don’t understand why someone who is in the 20-25 range of the player pool (doesn’t start, on sub bench 50% of the time) wouldn’t go to another ecnl club that is less competitive (Loudoun, bryc) to start and play more game minutes? You may not win as many games but get a lot more playing time.[/quote]

Because driving to BRYC or Loudoun in rush hour traffic 3 times a week to be on a team that loses every weekend isn't fun for teenagers. [/quote]

I get that, but is that worse than not playing and having the team win most of the time? Soccer life is too short to train and not play[/quote]

I’d think Arlington would now be a good option for some McLean bench warmers now that they are in ECNL. [/quote]

Or maybe the first team will move to Arlington and the bench warmers will play finally get their chance to play for Mclean. Arlington’s class of 2022 college commitments are fantastic. Most of the girls on the current 03/04 team committed and most at excellent academic schools. Mclean has barely announced any. For people sending their DDs to Arlington and Mclean, top school acceptance hooks matter a lot, maybe more than scholarship dollars.  [/quote]
