[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In WAGs tournament, Arlington 08 team is currently in the first place in their group with 2 wins in 2 games and Loudoun 08 team is in the last place in their group with 2 losses in 2 games.  Both teams are in the same bracket, just different groups. [/quote]

I appreciate that advice. I'm just wondering if you can judge a program based on the 08 performance? That's still young, like U11 young. There could be a lot of change over time. Don't you think?

I'm seriously asking. Both clubs have a long, long history in NOVA. Seems like choosing between two giants. So please give me your thoughts.  [/quote]

Loudoun parents/coaches say that their older teams struggle in ECNL, because FCV "poached" the players from older age groups (which has some truth to it), but the ECNL status means that the kids will now stay at Loudoun rather than leaving for FCV.  The argument implies that Loudoun's future ECNL teams will be stronger than its current teams.   Loudoun's 07 age group is strong, but its 08 age group is much weaker.  So even if the club is able to retain all players in the next two years, Loudoun will only have one strong age group in ECNL (i.e., their 07 team).       [/quote]
