[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The good news is that time is on your side.  You can afford to wait until March for ECNL ID sessions to start (and honestly, I know some players have already reached out to ECNL coaches to “attend a practice”).  It’s not like if CC can pull a rabbit out of his hat and you want to move over there in a month that they’ll say no.[/quote]

What percentage of FCV GA players can or will unseat current ENCL players?  When that doesn't happen for most, what is the next option, hope to unseat ECNL-RL players?[/quote]

There are five ECNL teams in Northern VA and one in Montgomery County.  Folks here like to talk about drive times, but FCV’s GA families (and ECNL families) have traveled all over the country for years for soccer, they’re not now going to join an inferior team just to avoid a lousy drive to training sessions.  Clearly, not every FCV GA player is going to get a spot on one of those six teams, but they only need to displace the bottom 8% of those 6 teams for the top 50% of FCV’s players to find an ECNL home.  Even an FCV hater has to acknowledge that the top half of its GA players are easily better than the bottom 10% of every local ECNL team.  The only question is how much more than 10% of those ECNL players lose their places and have to move to RL. [/quote]

My DD is on an ECNL team. You are right, there are FCV players that can displace a 1 or 2 players on each team in each age group. But, it's more than just talent, it's chemistry of a team, player attitude, expectation of WHERE you'll play, is there that position available and how many minutes, and of course, work ethic. Coaches know their players and not all of the 8% will be replaced. [/quote]
