[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No need to lash out at ECNL parents. It will all sort itself out in the long run. Hard working talented players will succeed wherever they are playing. GIrls Academy will become less relevant over time though and younger talent (players and coaches) will migrate to or remain at ECNL clubs, including Loudoun [/quote]

Exactly.  Dust is still settling [/quote]

Quite the opposite is happening in this area. GA is winning in the younger ages.[/quote]

You do realize they will become ECNL players by the time they are U14 right? Again this is the same thing that has happened before, Arlington players will leave Arlington for ECNL.  Arlington (girls) will feed McLean, although boys program will thrive.  Alexandria/Springfield will feed BRYC or VDA.  Even FCV... they’ll go to Loudoun or McLean.[/quote]

No why would any player go from GA/ECNL team that will qualify for champions league/regionals/what they are calling it to a team that does not qualify? Look at the records of McLean, BSC and BRYC at the 08’s. Those teams may lose to ECNL-r teams. There are too many ECNL clubs and they are too close together in this area.

So help me out here, why would any parent at those clubs get on a board and basically invite every talented girl at other clubs to come on over? I know some of those teams have been told the club is looking to replace current players(looking for more size and speed). You really feel the club will not replace your DD?

Why would ECNL clubs beg for players from GA? ECNL is just so much better vs GA I doubt any GA play could make an ECNL team...right? It seems you are saying GA girls are talented enough to walk on an ECNL team. If you and your great soccer knowledge know this, I bet college coaches know this also. [/quote]

What are you afraid of? Tell us, please.

You seem to be over-hyping and over compensating.

I don’t see anyone begging for GA players. I don’t see anyone shaking in their boots if FCV or Arlington players come to tryouts.

I’ve seen it 10000 times over. Let me tell you how it would work.

The best kids on the best GA team will try to land spots on the best ECNL team in their age group. For example (hypothetical) FCV 06 players will try to land spots on VDA 06. BUT, only a few will make it. The next best will try to get on the next best team. Let’s say McLean 06. Again, only a few will make it because Arlington 06 players are trying to do the same thing. Finally, the remaining kids will get picked up by the third and forth best teams. The kids displaced will do the same.

Very  few kids will get displaced from good teams. Only the best will get picked up.

This is what’s getting ready  to unfold. [/quote]

What am I afraid of?  Not you. You sound unhinged and a little desperate, but I think you are more harm to yourself than to anybody else.  You need to dial back your involvement quite a bit, if not for your own sake, then for your kids or for the kids you are employed to serve. [/quote]
