[quote]Then Loudoun overlooks those same kids who have been in their club since mini/rec/pre-academy and bring in players from other clubs to stack their ECNL rosters. Same song and dance that ALL the larger clubs do. Loyalty in clubs works both ways.[/quote]

The kids are staying at Loudoun. There are only 18 spots, yes kids on Black, White and Silver will leave and try at FCV I guess, but FCV is no longer getting half of Loudoun Red anymore showing up to tryouts like years past.

But how have FCV's tryout numbers been? If you are there surely you can see the great consolidation happening before your very eyes right now.[/quote]

Was at an FCV session with DD for 08.  She came out telling me 2-3 girls were there from Loudoun Red.  She wasn't sure on one so maybe only 2.  But sound like that is very different than in the past?[/quote]

In the past it would have been at least half of Loudoun Red, yes. [/quote]

Wow, half of the LS Red team tried out at different clubs, or just FCV? I know of 4 who tried out last season, and a handful are talking about it (Red/Black/White) this year. Guess we will see what happens in the Spring.[/quote] [/quote]

Before Loudoun had ECNL, yes more than half of Loudoun Red would tryout at FCV and McLean. That is no longer the case as many will stay because they have a reason to stay.

Does that mean that some don't test the waters? Sure but it is for a different reasons than in the past. Perhaps a kid really wants DA or just a change but most kids with true college potential are no longer pushed out the door at Loudoun now that Loudoun has a pathway for the players to be recruited.

The same thing with Arlington. Many of those kids would leave for McLean in years past and now they have an option to stay at their club where they started in rec. This isn't about being a "Loudoun Parent" thinking Loudoun is the center of the universe. It is about the reality of kids being more likely to stay put than to change clubs when they can have many of the same showcasing opportunities as the other clubs have.[/quote]
