So this is interesting, 48 players called into u14 National girls training camp. 2 players from Virginia both playing for the same team, Richmond which is ECNL. It seems like this defeats the purpose of the entire DA structure around here... so you're telling me that out of all players in Northern Virginia, zero of them are good enough? Even with all the girls that even play up a year? And the 2 call ups happened to play for the exact same team?

This seems like lazy scouting. So yes those two players have been found to fill Virginia''s quota so nobody else has a chance that that age group, sorry everyone.[/quote]

OMG. No one from NoVA got called up as a 13 year old, their future is over. They may as well accept that they suck and it's over. ECNL wins!

Or, maybe Richmond United is easier to scout because they're the ONLY top club in a big metro area (and the HQ of ECNL btw), so they consolidate talent early and are able to actually focus on developing players. They also attract the best coaches who get to focus on their own development without constantly being undermined and backstabbed.

When you have a cesspool like we do in NoVA, it's best to let things sort themselves out with finger crossed and just pluck the best kids at 17. Why not 8 ECNL and 5 GDA clubs, that's the ticket.[/quote]

100% correct. Richmond has an actual pyramid with one boys team and one girls team on top. Richmond United is THE top club that other clubs feed into, doesn't matter their girls side still plays ECNL- there is no other top level team in that region. The players that rise to the top of that system should be heavily scouted.

There is no pyramid in this area that makes it clear where the talent is, just a bunch of competing clubs and leagues that all claim to be the best.
