[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many more years can the ECNL keep FVU in the NL on the boys side?

08/07 boys finished 11 out of 13
09 boys finished 13 out of 13
10 boys finished 7 out of 13
11 boys finished 13 out of 13
12 boys finished 13 out of 13
13 boys finished 12 out of 13[/quote]
So WAIT.  Half of their teams finished last and Five out of Six teams finished in the bottom 3 out of 14 teams.
I’m sure they must be changing coaches or firing the leadership right?[/quote]Nope.  And the girls side is only marginally better. Which begs the question how are they keeping ECNL. My assumption is CW is bigger than the program and is probably one of the shining stars keeping ecnls attention.  And he isn’t even playing.

Next season the girls teams will probably do worse. Will be interesting [/quote] My guess is part of the move with the alliances is to keep the badge. FVU has leverage to say, "if we lose the badge, then you may lose all of these teams in RL, etc." It was pretty strategic with what they did last year. Just sucks they are such a mess with mostly pour coaches.[/quote]

Not true.  ECNL RL can keep their status as they have their own charter.  ENCL National can lose their charter and then they have choice of becomgin RL or not ECNL at all.

FVU needs all the alliances because they cannot attract talented player because of their current reputation and not able to compete in high level. esp on boys side.  [/quote]

It’s less complicated than all of this: they broke off from McLean which meant they lost all of the field space. The alliances gave them initial access to fields (which is why the timing lined up).  After that it was to create the perception of a pipeline but it’s no mystery that it’s not ECNL quality and MV favors VYS. Already seeing dramatic qualify drop off.  FVU isn’t pulling in top ECNL talent the way VDA, Arlington or Bethesda do.  Successful teams were from the initial days with early promises and the shine is off.[/quote] well that explains the constant complaints I heard about 45 min practices on half a field. No scrimmages or practicing shooting drills. You had no space to do that. Sheeesh. It all makes sense now. You play how you prep. Some clubs have regular scrimmages inter club and external.

What were practices like without field space?
