[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought two of the teams were all Sterling girls playing as Herndon. I didn't think the teams mixed the players.[/quote]
Right, the teams aren’t mixed. They’re all either one club or the other.[/quote]

Yes, the Sterling teams are functioning as Herndon teams but only paying $1600/player where as the players who signed up to play for Herndon as a Herndon team are paying close to $3K for essentially the same experience.  If I'm a Sterling 2012 or Herndon 2011 parent - these would especially be my questions considering how they placed these teams in ECNL-R for this year.[/quote]

I'm sure that's very annoying as a Herndon parent. But, there's no advantage on the Sterling side tbo. They aren't getting a different experience so why would they pay a different fee? They have the same coaching they'd have at Sterling. The girls are not playing at ECNL level, have no interest in playing in that league, and are now forced to travel long distances to get slaughtered week after week all while their Sterling coaches treat them like garbage for not cutting it in a league they never wanted to be in or belong in. Herndon basically wouldn't have ECNL without them, so the main advantage is to Herndon's overall boys program and not much else. Without the Sterling girl's teams, Herndon boys would not continue to be in ECNL since Herndon can't seem to maintain their own pool of girls. What no one is considering in Sterling management is that none of the girls wanted this. No one was chasing that dream of ECNL pathways. Sterling will have no girls left at those age groups and Herndon will also lose ECNL because there aren't enough girls even if they blended the age groups between the two clubs. Most of the girls that I know of are not returning. This year has been a shitshow. That being said, I'm pretty sure the rate agreement was for the first year. Haven't heard about this year because we won't be back so I haven't paid attention. If they bump the Sterling rate to what Herndon's rate is, then they really will not have anyone return for next year unless they're on scholarship. It really sucks all around because they are screwing with the girls at a key age when they are headed to high school. [/quote]
