[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nostradamus here with a fearless prognostication. A long 3 months of hand wringing for all elite players and clubs. ECNL MA stays as is at 13 with FCV, Arl, and MU left out. exDA clubs scramble to retain players to play in either EDP or some form of DPL east coast extension. Top 2/3rds of exGDA players opt to test the waters at ECNL tryouts.  Plenty of politicking and back channel discussions occur.  8-12 players across the 3 exDA clubs are slam dunks to get onto an ECNL roster without a good look especially where there are coaching changes. ECNL clubs make advance offers in May to attempt to secure these players, as well as their current top players. exDA clubs make advance offers as well in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Tryouts begin in July, and even then are limited.  Of ~60 exDA players avbl (MU, FCV, Arl), exDA clubs retain ~20, leaving ~40 distributed between VDA, BRYC, McLean, Loudoun, Bethesda. Varies across ages, but ECNL rosters take on average of 8-10 exDA players each, Bethesda takes on less due to proximity. Rosters grow to 23-24, bottom ~6-8 players drop down to RL teams. Each ECNL team fields RL team to retain as many players as possible. [/quote]

There will be no fall soccer. [/quote]

Assuming players are extended offers in May and there is no clear indication when or if soccer will happen in 2020, a deposit and financial commitment to pay for the year is going to be expected. For all the hand wringing, you may be committing thousands of dollars to be on a Zoom team, to get exposure to college programs that will almost certainly be reducing the scholarship money they have available.
