[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a kid in Loudoun and never have, so this is just an objective comment.  Loudoun is new to the ECNL.  VDA came from the DA, so they have some experience with the difference in leave of the league.  Loudoun players do not.  It's a faster pace of play with a higher level of competition.

My point is that it is way too early to make a judgment on how Loudoun is faring.  I would extend that courtesy to any club that is in a new level.  I would also give it to Arlington as they are new to the DA.

The DA and ECNL (though not interchangeable) are leagues that play at a much faster, higher level than the next level league down.[/quote]

This is a valid point that may explain some of their struggles, but it is also valid to observe the fact that Loudoun teams struggle in ECNL.  As for the courtesy angle, there were multiple posts in girls DA thread on these boards that VDA will really struggle and is the worst ECNL program in the area, but Loudoun would be doing amazing because they are really strong.  Also, some Loudoun advocates (don't know if parents or disgruntled coaches) were trashing Washington Spirit and claiming that Loudoun players that left for Spirit will regret their decision.
