Loudoun's and probably more than half the RL teams in the area are good enough to compete in GA--they wouldn't do any worse than TSJ tbh.

Loudouns RL teams are mostly good enough to compete in GA. NVA will get first stab at the talent and the former rl teams will get what they don’t want or who doesn’t want to play with NVA.

This same sentiment can be expressed for girls. D1 or bust mentality is ridiculous, getting into a D1 school for a female is far more than their ability.

Yes, unless one of the existing ones gets demoted to tier 2 (TSJ I'm looking at you)

TSJ is already grasping at straws hoping they can get into another league, just check their boys 08 IG, 'actively positioning for ECNL/ECRL/MLSN/MLSN2'

Yeah - that won’t happen. VSA may send some boys to NVA because of MLSNext (and it’s actually a closer drive for some), but VDA itself will be the last man standing on the ECNL pitch if they had to be.

PWSI/VSA/VDA would be the LAST club to move away from ECNL. ECNL would have to collapse into ashes before any of those clubs move because of the relationships to ECNL/USCS brass. People know that MC was a part of PWSI before right?

This can’t be true, can it? So there’s one additional GA team in the area?

they're the same club owned and operated by the same staff. NVA is just a rebranding of the top-level Loudoun teams.

According to somebody in the town hall last night, the Loudoun RL team got a GA1 invite.

If true, that’s going to be a bit … awkward. I would have expected them to be in GA2 while NVA was in GA1.

It's true.

First it was TSJ and VRSC split. Next ECNL forces local clubs to merge against their will. Now McLean, Loudoun and NVA move to GA in order to get MLSNext. Girls soccer takes a back seat to all these decisions.
