[quote=soccermum79][quote=personanongrata][quote=Manodedios]VDA added Herndon about a year ago, maybe not even a full year ago, and I think this is ‘turf’ protection from the other 3 clubs. I know Herndon was offering some RL players the opportunity to PT play/practice with VDA, which GFR and Valor couldn’t match. Loudoun pulls players from Western Fairfax, so they probably want to limit Herndon and VDA as much as possible. I don’t think there is a lot of love between those two (Loudoun and VDA).

Ultimately, though, all of these partnerships are about protecting the salaries of a handful of directors and do zero to improve player development.

ECNL would be better with a pro/rel system than this mega merger BS. The 07 boys GFR team could play in ECNL today if there was promotion. How many lifelong Loudoun players will get cut to make room on a combined team ? [/quote]

Precisely. So would the 08 and 06 GFR girls. Why is that? Because they focus heavily on player development. Review game tape. Go over tactical skills. Condition off season year round. Have technical trainers at their games along with their coaches.

Jury is still out on Valor, we don't hear much about them. If GotSoccer is correct, they don't have very strong teams according to their record (at least on the girls side). Boys look to have slightly better win records. [/quote]
