[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The younger girls are going to be a challenge regardless of how recruiting goes. Next year will be more interesting to compare FCV 07 vs WS and Arlington. The 2 best 07 clubs in the area are Loudoun and McLean. How well will DA be able to recruit? This year Loudoun got ECNL months after DA tryouts. You can bet the ECNL teams will lock up the teams earlier. What happens to FCV if they cannot recruit Loudoun or McLean players? It may make things more even. Will be interesting to watch.[/quote]

How does FCV 07 look?  Any ringers in there?

They were able to pick up some good former Loudoun players last year, as well as another team of 05 and 06s, so why would they have trouble getting a few from Loudoun next year?[/quote]

There are some differences. The difference this year is the 07s will be the first year that Loudoun does ECNL tryouts at the same time as DA has ID sessions. Last year top girls that may have been on the fence got DA offers before ECNL could try them out. Now the top players will have multiple options to choose from between ECNL and DA.

Also, the top Loudoun 07 team has defeated the top FCV 07 team three times in a row including 2 scores of 10-0. Will the Loudoun 07s think they would be moving down to switch to FCV?

FCV 07 is regarded as not a deep team. Definitely not deep enough to field a competitive 11v11 squad. So recruiting will be important.[/quote]

I think some of it comes back to the whole DA vs ECNL debate.   I think there will be some who will want to move to DA regardless of the 07 Loudoun team being stronger than the 07 FCV team.   The same was true of the 06 teams, although the gap may not have been as wide.  Longer term, those who see DA as superior to ECNL will want to move, those who don't will have no reason to move.   I think there are enough talented players spread out among the nearby clubs (other than Loudoun and McLean) that FCV doesn't need a clean sweep of any one strong team to do OK in their recruiting.

I think we are definitely starting to get into where the rubber meets the road on the DA vs ECNL debate, in how/when players make their decisions to move.[/quote]
