[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]anybody in Georgia know if AFC Lightning in the Southeast conference is staying in GA or got removed?  I understand they have been on probation[/quote]

Well that came out of no where for a DMV thread [/quote]

This thread has gone national [/quote]

which is good in my opinion.  I have enjoyed people who know other areas of the country commenting about ECNL, RL and GA.    [/quote]
Understanding why other locations are able to win is the first step in winning yourself.

My feedback (Socal) is that there seems to be a lot of euro grifters in DMV riding on their accents. Not that someone with an accent can't be a good coach. But an accent by itself doesn't make a coach good. Also a suspect that there isn't a big soccer culture. Here's an example. In Socal either LA or SD there's parks you can go to on weekends where parents hang out and grill + kids just play soccer with their friends all day long. These players may or may not ever get involved with teams playing in national leagues. They might just play in "mexican/latino leagues" and be done with it. Reguarding club culture it seems like DMV clubs are all against each other which makes sense but we're starting to see superclubs have 4 maybe 5 feeder clubs for talent that all work together to field the top team. This is different than recruiting from other clubs which also occurs. If all clubs are run correctly coaching and expectations should be the same for all clubs working together as a group which basically enables a large high level player pool that can be tapped into when creating a top team. (Slammers and Legends do this) One last thing that needs to change is the DMV league snob attitude by patents. Who you beat locally doesn't matter if neither of your teams can compete nationally. If you want to play at the highest levels you should only consider the highest level competition as something to discuss, work to, or get excited about. Nothing else matters.[/quote]

Funny enough,  I have connections at both Slammers and Legends.  What age is your kid?

Let's find out what a worldie your kid is and why you go somewhere else to doo doo talk.  Not taken seriously enough at home?[/quote]
You have no clue. There's 4-5 Slammers and Legends clubs/teams either directly or indirectly affiliated behind each top team you see playing in ECNL. The movement to the top team starts filtering up at a young age. This is what I'm talking about. When you play the Legends team in Riverside that practices at Silveakes your not playing against players from that area only. You're playing super teams made up of players from all over LA and SD.
