[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many girls are being rostered for ECNL teams at Union?  How do they determine who plays in the matches?[/quote]

Next year expect inflated rosters. Playing time will vary based on the coach. Expect many players to self select out in year 2.[/quote]

Could be but you can only dress 18.[/quote]

Why would the roster be more than 18 then?

We got a first-timer on here, welcome![/quote]

Different question. Why would girls want to be on a roster like that? Are the parents forcing them to be part of the "ECNL dream"? It doesn't seem like they'd get any of the supposed ECNL benefit from that type of arrangement. Kids only get so many years to play youth soccer, and this is just flushing it away.[/quote]

The separation between ECNL and ECNLR teams in this area is enormous. It starts in the early years when the separation between the first and second teams is enormous. This is true at most if not all of the local clubs. So the bubble players are left with a really difficult decision, sitting on the bench or playing on a team that is massively less talented. If we had fewer ECNL teams in the area, the gap to ECNLR wouldn’t be so dramatic and players could more easily make the decision to drop down to play more. [/quote]

This is what I don’t understand fully.  We have a ton of kids in Fairfax county.  Other areas do not have anywhere close to this many.  So how is it that they can train up good ECNL and ECNL-RL teams and we can’t?  Maybe if we didn’t just put all our focus on that top team and actually cared about the 2nd teams, it would be different.  Maybe that’s where we should put our focus.[/quote]
