quit is probably more likely. There are only so many spots on ECNL rosters to go around. Would a girls who misses the cut at Arlington be good enough to take a spot from an already rostered girl at McLean or BRYC?

Maybe. You would have to look at positions and the age group. McLean and BRYC 08’s record is not great. There are a few SYC girls with the new alliance may end up at McLean but who knows where they will end up.

This is completely false no way the 2008 team will be disbanded I guarantee it

But if they missed tryouts/ID sessions for other clubs who are going to be making their offers in a couple days they either have to stay or when you say quit, that means, quit soccer altogether?

the attrition rates for girls in high and middle school is through the roof. If they go from being on a team for years and the get cut from that team, I'd expect a significant number to quit soccer

Nothing says U14 Arlington players like "If I'm not top team I won't play for the club"

players and families see how different teams are treated. Most wouldn't want to go from A team treatment to B team treatment

ECNL vs Red is not like your typical 'A to B team'. ECNL in older years is a separate thing entirely. As you get to High School, many top players that are top academic students don't want the time constraint and excessive travel, missing classes and activities for that level. You have many that will step down to the red team of their own accord for this reason. From the boys side (I only have boys)--you get MANY players from all over the DMV in the later years---as do all ECNL/DA programs so the level of play on the Red teams stays very high---and often at a level pretty much equivalent to the ECNL team.

12 girls cut from a given team...not happening.

Come on that is everywhere. If you are not starting on the top team there is no college soccer. Some of the things that are required for the top team at 13, 14 year old are ridiculous. So yep those girls should check out other programs.

What are some of those ridiculous things? Just curious.

Don't ECNL offers go out May 1st/this Saturday?

Did the boys team have a meeting too?

Huh? What was this a meeting with current families to tell them to get ready to get demoted? Not following...
