[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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? 
[/quote]

McLean/VA Union ECNL carries rosters of well over 18 in most age groups for boys and girls. Only 18 can be rostered on game days. The rest sit. [/quote]

BRAVE does not do this - no huge rosters with more players than can actually dress and play. It’s always the same team at every practice and game. [/quote]

IMO announcing a cap of 18 players per ECNL team would do more to keep the best players than any one single action.  Many top players are worried about accepting a 3/1 offer and then learning that there will be 30 on the roster - no ability to build chemistry, lots of "10 minutes left in the half, score tied, 7 subs come on to join you, other team immediately scores" moments.[/quote]

Roster will be between 24-30[/quote]

And this was acceptable to McLean players and families? Why? [/quote]

There isn't deception going on.  It's because some of those families were happy to pay the fee to practice with the ECNL team and develop with that team and coach and be rostered on weekends in EDP.  That all works because enough people were interested in the program.

BRAVE rostered how many kids and why?  Was it because they had 30 great players tryout and decided to only pick the best 14 or was is because lots of players have left and their current coaches do not attract outside talent.

Ask the 2009 Girls if you don't know the answer.  [/quote]

Why not also ask the [b]other BRAVE  girls teams that are doing well[/b] too rather than only use the example of the 1 that isn’t? These teams all have smaller rosters. There is great team dynamics and synergy since it’s the same players at every practice and game. [/quote]

Define...doing well?  I only see one current girls BRAVE team over .500[/quote]

Outside of the 2011’s (who have a lot of former McLean and VYS), who is performing well in Arlington?

Outside of the 2010’s (largely from SYC), who is performing well from Union?[/quote]

To the comment about the Arlington 2011 ECNL, thats not exactly right. There are several former Mclean players, one from BRAVE and no one from SYC. 9 members of the team have been together at Arlington since starting together at U8. [/quote]
