[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I've noticed in other areas versus this area is a more clearly defined hierarchy of clubs.  There are many ECNL cubs in Dallas, for example, but everyone there knows Solar is the "best" and the top talent consolidates there year after year.  In NY/NJ, there are many ECNL clubs but everyone knows PDA is the "best" and the top talent consolidates there.  In this area, you have 5+ ECNL teams all claiming to be the best but our talent is more spread out.  When there were only two ECNL teams in the area, the top talent did consolidate and those teams had more success at that national level than we typically see today....[/quote]

Exactly, we have too many ECNL teams.  Brave/Union merger was great imo but we need at least one more merger/consolidation of ECNL teams in the area.  We need 1 team for Prince William, 1 team for Loudoun and western Fairfax and 1 team for Fairfax/Alexandria and Arlington.  Then teams will be competitive.[/quote]

Agree with this but we need teams where it is purely based on performance. Not whose mom/dad is on the board, who the coach likes personally, which family donates the most to the club or anything other than soccer ability. That I not the case in this area.[/quote]

Dumb argument.  Less teams will not lead to better players moving.  Many at the youger ages would just play travel.  People are not going to drive far to get to soccer.  [/quote]

Do you see what happens in the other areas of the country in the "top" teams?[/quote]

Give it a rest. NOVA is diluted. We get it.[/quote]

NOVA is not diluted.  We could use 1-2 more teams.  Likely will have them when ECNL takes whatever GA teams (other than FCV) that seem to make headway.[/quote]
