[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To many good posts above to quote them.  If DMV wants to win on the big stage Coaching, practice and recruiting requirements have to change. Maybe even more consolidation of ecnl teams and some year round training.

So you got families that are ok with their kids winning or losing locally & getting picked up by local schools vs family that want max exposure and winning on a grand stage. Equals failure if nothing changes.

Everyone locally should have been mimicking the arl 2011s approach to competition and studying the teams out west approach to the games….

Smh thats a lotta money for no results in the playoffs [/quote]
There really is no reason for parents, coaches, and clubs in DMV to make these changes. The local system is achieving the goal of getting their daughters to the colleges they want. It is not a failure because the teams out west are better in national playoffs. The DMV is not any different than other parts of the country, mid-west, northeast, and it's fine the way it is. Not every region can be a super region that draws players from all over. You have super regions in every sport, every industry that draws in the best talent. LA is the entertainment capital, NY has banking, FL and TX have youth football, CA and TX have soccer. [/quote]

This is a perfect example of why DMV won't win nationally.

This parent is argueing that the way DMV ECNL teams play is getting players committed to colleges so why change what's working.

What's sad is they're correct. College women's soccer has unlimited subs. What this means is if coaches just find the biggest fastest most aggressive players they'll likely do ok in the season. You don't need skilled players that can play possession because opponents will never get tired with unlimited subs. What all this means is the type of players DMV ECNL clubs produce is what awful NCAA College women's coaches are looking for.

If you want to be competitive in ECNL (or GA) nationally or any league that limits the number of substitutions, teams need to play some form of possession soccer.

Next season Mens D1 NCAA college soccer will switch from unlimited subs to how ECNL or pro soccer plays. Hopefully Women's college soccer will make the same change soon because it would be a game changer for youth soccer because suddenly skilled players would be recruited over simply big and fast.[/quote]100% correct [/quote]
