[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true Arlington Girls got rejected by ECNL yesterday?  [/quote]

Yeah, a parent was on earlier and said they had been told they were rejected. My guess is that with 4 NOVA ECNL clubs that one or more of them blocked adding a 5th.[/quote]

Heard Arlington told they have to bring both boys and girls if they want ECNL. They don’t want to bring boys. Guess they will sacrifice girls so boys can play in yet another league that will fail in 3 years.[/quote]

Yep Arlington really does not put the same importance on the girls side. Think Arlington is toast. Mclean will be very happy. It will be rough for any girls living close in. Though ECNL is not really concerned about accessibility or urban participation. [/quote]

Why do they need to both come in?  Bethesda's boys are not in.  VDA's did not until recently.  It's a reflection of both the ECNL's arrogance to demand both and the relative weakness of the boys side.  Just more nonsense if true.  Who needs that crap.[/quote]

Boys ECNL is not to the level of the girls. If they can force Arlington to bring their boys that would certainly improve it. In the past they did not have the leverage that they have now. Is it for certain that Bethesda boys are not joining ECNL? Does anyone know what their plans are?[/quote]

All good questions, but as a general matter, boys in DAs do not have the family time and money to spend to play ECNL with heavy travel, or at least there is less of it than on the girls side.  So it is entirely possible they will lose top players if they do this.  Of course, if there are more ECNL mid-atlantic teams, this matters less.  But then the question is why boys want to sign up for a North Carolina plus Virginia version of the CCL with plenty of uneven competition when there is a ton of potential competition right in Maryland, DC and NOVA.
