[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like Herndon is not planning to have more than one team for most of the girls age groups? Do they have enough girls to fill each team next year? I think last year they did not have teams in some age groups.[/quote]

They don’t. 2 of the older girl coaches are Sterling coaches, not Herndon. [/quote]

Do your DD a favor and go somewhere else. The girl side has been rebuilding for 10+ years at this point and see where they are... NA and the board have and always will favor boys. [/quote]

I don't understand this strategy considering the club is in ECNL RL. Doesn't that league tie the boys and girls together? It's really hard to rebuild once you have lost the trust of families. [/quote]

[b]The root of the problem is that they are forcing girls to play in ECNL RL who don't belong there in order to keep the boys in the league.[/b]  Instead, if they really cared about the girls program, they would meet them where they are (which is mostly likely low-level NCSL) and develop them from there instead of forcing them to get clobbered every week, gaslighting them by telling them that "if you want to be the best, you have to play the best" and then wondering why the girls and the coaches turn over so fast. They're only interested in band-aid fixes on the girls side and only if it is in service to the boys side.  This has been the problem since NA has been with the club and will be until he leaves.[/quote]

Isn't this really a problem with the league for requiring girls teams in order for the boys to play there? If meeting girls where they are means dropping the top boys teams down to NCSL, that doesn't exactly seem fair to the boys either. It's a no-win situation. This seems like a long-term problem that Herndon is going to have to face. [/quote]

Right, Herndon doesn't have a choice right now. They need a girls team in every age group for ECNL RL or they will lose the league. It would be better for everyone if Herndon can get MLS instead of ECNL. Then the girls can stay in NCSL. [/quote]
