[quote=Anonymous]With just over a year of ECNL play for this age group things are starting to take shape. VDA whom was a solid team in the area appears to have made some great additions to take them that next step. Other area clubs as well have improved. Loudon and McLean(Union) are also having a better fall season as well. The methods for how the clubs got there is the biggest difference. VDA picked up a new ECNL director a year or so ago MW. How much he has added I don’t know. I’ve seen him take a losing boys team from his family travel to Va Beach and pull off an upset win of top ranked team in the state. He isn’t for everyone’s DD’s but I like the guy. QP I only hear amazing things about him. People would say he does things the right way. Fundamentals for this team is solid. They bring in a sub and there isn’t a change in game play. As they continue to play and build more cohesion this team is going to be highly competitive at a top level.

McLean and Loudon from what I’ve seen appeared to have picked up several new players and this is what really has made the difference for them. So, long-term is it sustainable? Only time will tell. I don’t believe so as these teams’ improvement are purely based on players moving to new clubs. It’s just a matter of time before the grass becomes greener at another club for them.  Sure, they have players that standout from the crowd and I wouldn’t take anything from them. However, they are not VDA. Top to bottom they just aren’t built the same. Player development and all of the catchy terms used to get parents in are probably not being worked on at the same level as VDA.

Then we have BRYC. There really isn’t much to be said here. Most everything has already been said on the previous 50 tabs and 99 other threads. As a parent how can you consider your DD is getting any development playing on a team that is 0-2-20 in ECNL play. They have been outscored 14-93.
