[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would ECNL want a second team in Loudon? They already have Loudon itself and McLean right there too. [/quote]

Because of the market, if Barca, VRSC, FCV were able to attract players it means that there is a market.  Does it make sense?  Pull the players of these teams together and they’d make a bigger pool than Loudoun and McLean. [/quote]

It remains to be seen if VRSC can attract ECNL caliber players[/quote]

ECNL clubs attract ECNL caliber players.

Then why brother trading BRYC for revolution? [/quote]

If you believe ECNL clubs attract ECNL caliber players then it is obvious that the problem with BRYC is organizational. It becomes a viscous cycle. You either can't coach and develop the talent you select or you can't select the right talent. Being completely unsuccessful at moving the needle in a positive direction regarding results it then becomes impossible to attract outside talent. Organizationally they haven't been aggressive even though they are sinking. Where are the mergers, the partnerships that can bring in new players and coaches? Where are the outside coach hires that always come with their players?

FCV treats local clubs like they are on Tinder in order to keep talent coming in. McLean partnered with SYC. SYA and CYA merged. VDA is built exclusively on a partnership. Metro has partner clubs. Great Falls and Reston merged. What has BRYC done organizationally to improve itself?

VA Revolution on the other hand has been both bold and ruthless. The sad thing is BRYC was a storied club in the region and now it is just a shell of itself. [/quote]

That bold and ruthless club has zero good teams. They have proven that they can purchase a property that no one else wants and nothing else. [/quote]

That point was already covered regarding leagues accepting clubs based on performance and potential.

But lets look at it from another perspective. BRYC currently has 2 aging out teams ranked in the top ten in the state. Now another club that is younger than 5 years has three young teams currently ranked in the top ten in the state. Do you think that new club shows promise and should be considered for ECNL over BRYC? [/quote]

No. For example, their top U9-U11B and U11G teams aren't even in the top NCSL groupings. Their top U12G team is bottom half of NCSL division 2, so not even in D1. Their top U13G team is mid-table in NCSL D1.[/quote]
