[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the plan all along everyones wins. SYC girls have ECNL and [b]Mclean boys will get MLS Next[/b]. What's all the fuss about? If you're not happy then leave and go to Arlington, but Currently Arlington boys have been coming over to try out at MLS Next so now there will be available spots for you.[/quote]

The McLean boys are not being offered MLS Next slots.  MLS Next is for straight SYC teams, not the Virginia Union.  That means SYC's 'B' team players will be getting Virginia Union ECNL roster spots.[/quote]

Surely the best kids who try out will end up on whatever team they are good enough for? [b] In other words if a McLean player is good enough for the MLSNext roster, indicates their interest and tries out for it, then they will get an offer.  No?[/b]

The problem is that this solidifies McLean's weakness on the boys side.  Maybe some SYC B team players can make McLean ECNL rosters, but they're not going to be difference makers or they would have made the SYC first teams.  So there's unlikely to be much improvement in McLean's ECNL teams which in turn makes them less attractive as a destination.  the best McLean can hope for is that Arlington doesn't go MLS Next and it and VDA lose players to SYC and Alexandria as a result which would make McLean more competitive, but not really in a good way.[/quote][/quote]

No, The SYC MLS Next tryouts will be separate from the tryouts.[/quote]
[b]
Can you be a full time rostered player on both teams[/b]?[/quote]
No, MLS Next players cannot play for another team so there is no way for them to dual roster on ECNL.  If that's VA Union FC's plan they'll be in trouble quick.  Looks like most of SYC's B team players will make up some spots in ECNL, but only if they're willing to paying the additional $1K from what they're paying now.  Now that SYC has all the MLS Next age groups I don't see many SYC players moving to play ECNL.

Either way there's too much politics and favoritism in one coach picking the team.  There are clearly some kids on current MYS ECNL teams because of their "outside the club relationship" with the coach and not on the team because of their soccer ability.  Some are just on there because the coach likes them, but again their play is lacking and shouldn't be on the team.  So in the end the coach is fielding a team, but not the best possible team due to all of the politics which is sad because the coach should really be fielding the best team and not because a parent is a friend of the coach..  There are some being brought from the outside but don't really seem like they will improve the VA Union team so will be interesting if the alliance is really going to field a better team?[/quote]
