[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can FCV parents stop pretending that DA was superior to ECNL. First, the only serious DA competition took place in SoCal. Everywhere else, except maybe Texas, was inferior. Even in DC, FCV was the only serious club and it was a former ECNL club. MU/WSVA  was a start-up, Arlington came from CCL and BA/WSMD didn't even get Pipeline's best players. BA probably gave more waivers for private high school play than any DA club in the nation.

FCV players are better off leaving the club and joining local ECNL clubs. I am certain that players at every age group can make teams at McLean, Bethesda, BRYC, Loudoun and VDA. They might not start but they will make a team. Time to stop the silliness. ECNL is and has always beenthe big dog. You made a run to unseat the league but failed. Let it go.[/quote]

To play devil's advocate, if they "might not start", is it better to be on an ECNL team with 20+ on the roster, and ride the bench, or to be in a different league and play.  Don't get me wrong, I 100% see the value in the showcases -- my DD is ex-DA as well, but if you go to a showcase and don't play, what difference does it make.  Fun experience?  Miss school?  Spend a lot of $$?  But you aren't playing....  We are trying to decide what is best -- stay in what might be inferior but is ultimately an unknown, or go somewhere where she should make a team, but as everyone says, "might not start" -- as who knows what the politics look like.[/quote]
