[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a parent and outsider’s perspective who has recently attended tryouts and several post tryouts ID sessions and practices across five different clubs, the Arlington experience was by far the best organized and felt the most polished in terms of club and coaching quality.

Most clubs in the region are dysfunctional in some regard.  While DD hasn’t played a season for Arlington the social media confirmation of who they are and what they want to be is a huge plus point in my book simply because so many other clubs can’t seem to string together enough seasons without trying to rebrand themselves as something new or better. I give Arlington kudos for communicating a clear and frankly taking a double down approach through a consistent message on who they continue to be.  How anybody can argue that reinforcing who and what you are is a bad thing should experience the other side of the coin with clubs that seemingly ebb and flow season to season through the league affiliation and club partnerships game.

Thankfully my daughter is in an older age group for girls and can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding her playing career pre college. I won’t miss the dysfunction of Mid Atlantic soccer.

Guess what, I know it’s hard to hear with your ECNL hat on….if she was going to college in ECNL, she was going to college in GA. [/quote]

This is some of the biggest tryhard BS! Stats don’t lie, and for better or worse ECNL does a better job of giving college coaches the players they want to recruit.

I get it, your club is prioritizing boys and forcing your girls team to play GA and you have to pretend that it’s all a good thing. But face facts - the GA switches are happening because a few clubs in the area think boys are simply more important (and a better source of revenue) than girls.

If your daughter is worth less than your son, I guess this all makes sense to you. But be honest with yourself, that’s the decision Loudoun has made.[/quote]

Haha, it will all make sense in due time. Keep clinging on to a league in decline[/quote]

I guess I do not see the decline.  I see GA falling further and further behind in college recruiting.  the agreement with MLSNext is pure desperation.  The agreement provides nothing and also makes little sense.  I do not see many clubs except bottom feeders moving to GA.  ECNL is stronger with CI gone.  NVA was great and why they left makes no sense but the ECNL teams in NOVA will now be better.  A bunch of the top GA clubs are supposed to leave this year for ECNL.  If that does not happen it will be the first sign GA is getting some traction.[/quote]

What proof do you have that the top GA teams are leaving? Are you aware that they are all MLSN/GA?

Also, just think about this for a second. As college soccer limits roster spots and looking to offer scholarships to kids in the transfer portal, the league you play in won’t matter. It will be the club.

Your SLSG’s, MI Hawks, Nationals, Surfs, PDAs, TopHats, CUP, MVLA, IMGs, CITY SCs, Solars, Blues will still be on top.
