09 won 2-0. There are four HYS ECRL Girls teams. 07/08, 09, 11,13. Two of the four won.
What do you mean? There are 2010s and 2012s as well.
Those are Sterling teams.
How are Sterling teams playing for Herndon? Isn't Herndon required to field Herndon teams?
Sterling and Herndon announced a merger for older girls teams. I think it's on Sterling's website.
And the Sterling 2010 team is actually their 2011 team that Herndon is forcing to play up an age group in ECNL-R because Herndon already had a 2011 team. I guess so that everyone could get stomped every week in a league none of them belong in.
None of that makes sense!? Why would Sterling agree to that? They don't seem to be getting anything out of this bargain.

They have a half a field one night, a third of a field another night, and one night with a quarter field. Quarter field night isn't great but I don't see why people can't deal with it for one night a week without whining. [/quote]
The boys teams five years older than your crumbcrusher are ONLY practicing as four HS teams scheduled on quarter fields. No ability to scrimmage or do much of anything. That's why people are "whining".

Rec programs are the biggest money maker for any soccer program. This includes house leagues as well as rec clinics and camps. Why? because they are open to the largest volume of participants. Even though the fees are significantly lower, a house league runs with almost zero overhead cost. The coaches are volunteer and field space (yes even turf) is essentially free for youth clubs.
Youth clubs are (almost always) non-profits that receive field space allocations from the county *based on the size of their recreational programs*. The fields are priced at less than $10/hr in most cases. The reality is that all these rec players are subsidizes your travel team (which have VERY high overhead costs and are not profitable if we are talking about the top level). A healthy rec program is also essential for clubs to continue to get field space allocations from the county.
Sorry no idea about the field space but your statement that travel teams are not profitable is hilarious. Of course they are.
You dont understand the business model. I said "top level" travel teams. These teams require more resources with overhead cost, and often carry smaller (more competitive) rosters. The coach is paid a higher salary, the league fees are more expensive, etc. These teams often break even at best. The success and alure of these teams is what fills the B, C, D, etc teams which have a lower paid coach, full rosters, and less overall overhead. Those teams are profitable. Still- rec programs remain the king if we are talking about profitability and its not even close.
Herndon doesn't have top level teams. Their highest level is RL.
Not sure how profitable their rec program could be with so many kids on scholarship. The finances would be interesting to see.
