ECNL mid-atlantic is a joke. It's Arlington, VDA and Richmond. In Virginia, very other ECNL team is a dumpster fire. North Carolina is not much better.

What you saw today was Edward John Smith hitching Arlington to a sinking ship. MLSNext has far better funding, infrastructure and player pathway than ECNL. Period. Full stop.

At what point do league defections hit critical mass, where Arlington looks in the mirror and utters: "uh oh". ECNL is already desperately trying to stem defections after losing NVA/Loudoun by allowing for the creation of a Frankenstein FOUR CLUB team called Fairfax Union, version 3 (in as many years). It's embarrassing.

But at least Arlington will continue to place at or near the top in a watered-down ECNL. Until one day in the not too distant future, the club wakes and realizes they've become McLean.

Agreed. Reeks of insecurity.
I’ve only seen something like this happen on a Washington soccer forum…..this is next level. This is actually the second time in 2 weeks they’ve addressed these rumors

I am an ecnl parent but I can't decide if I'm more embarrassed to think about the number of Arlington parents who flagged the DCUM rumor or the fact that the club decided to put out a release about it. Stay Arlington, Arlington.

It's a recruiting move to pick up kids leaving GA for ECNL. But then the joke will be on those families who left their clubs for Arlington ECNL, as they will join GA next year.

in all fairness this was side chatter on sidelines of some id sessions. Interesting responses in here. There are other clubs that were/are mum on GA aspirations

guess recruiting fell flat and now doing damage control just to keep the paying customers on board. Seriously, current ARL families does this behavior instill confidence, feels like 8itch move what do i know

Arlington coaches has nothing better to do than stalk this forum?

Responding to a bunch of trolls on an anonymous chat board for over infested soccer parents is not a power move. Its called hitting the panic 🚨

Wreaks o desperation to stay relevant when VDA and FVU keep stealing your lunch

tough crowd lol. They went on record with a denial. What else could they do. Blood oath with capt arl? Gotta hat tip to them. This is the right thing to do.

I.e., check back in with us next year on this.

Feels desperate

indeed lol Yall were up here supwr sluething like the dmv spooks you are. They were smoked out regardless… but yea kudos to Arl to put this to rest….. loudly.

Wow I wish Loudoun addressed rumors head on instead of leaving us to wonder while the directors politic in smoke filled back rooms.

Ladies and gents… this is how you address rumors head on…. Unless they are not rumors and actually predictions from futboldamous.

3 ecnl clubs remain in our area and the sky is not falling to GA.


Carry on
