[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it unlikely that ECNL will not take FCV. Sure Loundoun will end up as the weaker ECNL team but PDA, FC Stars and other clubs have teams covering the same area so I don't really see a problem. Also, why wouldn't you take a club with FCV's track-record?

If FCV doesn't get ECNL, it will fold because most of their top players are strong enough to find a spot at McLean, Bethesda, BRYC  or VDA. [/quote]

The difference is that PDA, FC Stars, etc are accomplished clubs that aren’t worried about a little competition. Loudoun? Not so much.[/quote]
DP - problem is that FCV has no feeder clubs, so if they are not given ECNL, they are done.  FCV also has no U-little development league to feed into their travel league.  They always relied on poaching from non-ECNL teams.  They are toast.  Now, agree that all parents from ECNL teams would be foolish not to think that the top 4-6 players wold not be absorbed into their top teams.  The rest would fall into the 2nd, 3rd tiers of the ECNL clubs.  Not that it would be the end of the world if that would happen.  Just wold have to work. Your way into the top team.  Same goes for any academy teams for any club around the world. [/quote]

I don’t disagree with you there. FCV isn’t sure if they are based in Springfield or Leesburg but, either way, they don’t have a large u12 and under presence in either location. From a training perspective, though, they are far better than the ECNL clubs in those locations (Loudoun and a BRYC club that just lost their lead dog.)[/quote]
Well I guess a coach would be in the same boat, wanting to coach the top teams in a club. I guess they better be able to show the TD’s in these other clubs, they are worth taking on as a developmental coach.  Or stick to opening up a private training business.[/quote]
