[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It attracts the same kind of clubs and people, IMO.

I find Loudoun, Arlington, McLean very similar.  Impersonal.  Factory. Nepotism. Top-down organizations that cater to the loudest mouths and biggest spenders.  They tend to just select athletes--big, fast, ball-booters.  None of them play beautiful soccer or attempt possession.  I don't think any of them are great at developing young players.  Poor Braddock Road was in there and these people would gloat and make fun of the big wins they had over them at the younger age groups.

My beef isn't necessarily the league per se.  It's that the league claims to be development, but it was really for coach convenience.

And any league game 3-4 hour drive is ridiculous.[/quote]

I totally disagree re-McLean. Smaller club comparatively and have found them to have a very personal approach and focus on technical aspects (coach does not allow punting from goalie as example). Could not be happier with the club and I have been at a few due to moves. Lots of small kids on top teams based on technical/foot skills. So  no-not a cluster. And Ccl has been great for our family. Good competition but dont have to waste the whole weekend and drag siblings on road trip for 2 games when we can knock out two games locally and still have the rest of the weekend for other things... just my two cents [/quote]

Do you have sons or daughters?  ECNL may be ok, but the younger girls have big problems with development, infighting, and a technical Director that can't control coaches.  Girls are leaving.[/quote]
