This sub is full of ASA parents its so gross, ASA getting GA back outed this whole forum that its just full of ASA parents
Yes, we have the on the clock Alexandria warrior and some other parents that dare to say that ASA is the place to be. Please, know that ASA puts all their eggs on their leadership salaries, therefore coaching quality suffers badly. Don’t go there. There is a reason why they lost their GA status not too long ago. Will see in a year, perhaps they get demoted on both fronts boys and girls. Save your time.

Unfortunately this is very true and my DD is a 2010 and I fear we are a year too late.
Curious why you fear you might have waited a year too long?

Please the 10's in GA are universally not very good teams. All are .500 or below records. I'm sure there is a team that would welocme someone who thinks they should be playing ECNL to one of their practices, just reach out to club's GA Directors, after first evaluating your DD's level or course. Maybe you are not a year too late, but a year on time with GA Aspire starting.

Hard to gauge what the teams will be like next year with GA /ECNL RL moves added on top of player shuffle.
Two of these don't go with the other two. You would know by now if you can make the two NL teams, they are two of the best teams for the age in the area. The other two (McLean and VYS) would never be considered with the NL teams unless you already know you are looking at RL. So then its GA vs RL debate, and its quite obvious GA is going to be stronger than RL in VA moving forward starting next year even. GO to McLean GA with your head held high!
I would consider Alexandria GA.
This is decent advice, Alexandria has the club structure to foster an atmosphere of improvement now that they have GA back.
Also, ask yourself if you would rather be a bench player on the 1st team or a full time player on the 2nd team? My DD is being looked at on the 1st team, but I'm hesitant to take it (if offered) next week as I know the score, she'd go from starting with healthy 2nd team minutes to subbing with less minutes on the 1st team.

There’s some movement at McLean because of the change to GA. Kids at these tryouts did not make the top GA team and are trying to decide if they want to remain or go to another club.
