[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a dog in the race but continue to argue that if you are close to an elite soccer team, i.e. a team that plays in the top brackets of the top tournaments, you know that ECNL/DA remains a draw for the most talented players.

You can't judge a team at u15 or younger because the teams are not mature and not complete. McLean's 05 team was a disaster last year but this year is heading to the ECNL Nationals and has defeated some very strong teams in several tournaments. I believe that team lost about a half dozen players to the DA but then replaced those players with others from non-ECNL clubs. Loudoun will get better.

Again, the teams that will suffer are the nonECNL/DA teams as they lose talent to ECNL/DA teams. Even the weakest ECNL/DA team will beat most of the strongest non-ECNL/DA teams. There will always be stong non-ECNL/DA teams like Pipeline, South Shore Select and other clubs who will beat ECNL/DA clubs as South Shore did in at JeffCup.[/quote]

McLean has a proven track record of developing players on the girls side so McLean 05 results are not surprising, particularly with Clyde Watson coaching them.       [/quote]
