[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Club in EDP doing badly. Hardly anyone knocking.

Club joins badge league still doing badly. Lines around the block to get in.[/quote]

Everyone knows by now that EDP is a sinking ship, so moving to a program that has ECNL/RL or MLS/Nations League makes sense if you're a top player. [/quote]

What makes EDP a sinking ship?

How can top players be in multiple leagues? Aren't they only in the top league?

When the MLS Club Academies and MLS Next teams stop recruiting players from EDP, then you may have a point[/quote]

For good players, EDP is now mainly a feeder league for MLS Next and ECNL. 
Doesn't mean that EDP is going to fold, but it's not a destination for top players any more. [/quote]

I’d also argue EDP (at least on the girls side in MoCo), and especially NL, is for people who don’t want BSC ECNL/RL for any number of reasons. Playing time, less travel, less money, less pressure, more positive environment, no college interest, other sports. Plenty of reasons for someone in MoCo to not choose BSC even if they can make it.

But yeah it’s not like someone who is a clear starter for MLSN or ECNL girls is likely to play EDP. Absolutely correct for the dedicated, elite players. EDP is not the top nowadays or even close. [/quote]

Is there enough room on the local mlsn and ecnl girls teams for all the local players who are starter material?[/quote]

Not sure exactly what you mean but it’s extremely competitive. BSC is the only show in MoCo at those levels though Achilles does some MoCo for MLSN. There’s no other ECNL girls.

Absolutely there’s room to start on other clubs if you can’t crack BSC and willing to go farther. Just depends on the age. For example plenty of 2010-12 girls wouldn’t see the field at BSC but could start for Pipeline, MD United, Fairfax Union, etc.

So “enough room” is context dependent. There’s room but maybe not at BSC or let’s say, for example, 2011 Arlington girls. [/quote]
