Rumor has it DB is in the DMs of the 2012 NVA girls and wants to make a strong GFR team. You heard it here first.

LOTS of free/scholarship recruiting on the fly. I feel bad for girls not already connected in, they are going to have to do late season drop ins and try to fill holes.

Early hears:

- NVA 2012s scattering to the wind. A good GA showing is not enough to hold onto talent because opposition has been even more uneven than expected.
- Bethesda holding look sessions indoors will prove helpful.
- Long time SYC devotees are looking to jump. What direction TBD, but VDA is a likely place for top performers
- VDA leaving families who have put in 2+ years behind to recruit to trade up. Club taking a fairly hard Aug 1 stance which does not really play to their online we are the recruitment HQ standpoint.
- RP promised some kids coming over to Arlington but the 2013s are largely staying intact
- GY girls trying to move from GA to ECNL happening. I see you McLean.
- Bethesda looking to have a total relook at their 12s and 13s based on massive age group changes.
- FVU will talk big panic but still pick up girls in 2011 and 2012. 2014 change over still largely TBD
- McLean 2014s will stick together for one year in GA. That is all.
-Loudoun and STJ are in a race for Aspire demotion. Think between NVA and Loudoun someone will try to engineer a girls only ECNL solution
- Rev seems first stop for STJ trade ups.
- Alex GA will continue to struggle. One marquee team does not a program make. 2012s will continue to be top of GA bracket as long as T is coach
- Arlington 2013, 2012 and 2011 RLs will be tired of waiting around with the promise of one practice and maybe some NL game time and will try to move to said good enough Alex teams (11s and 12s) and McLean (13)


- The Arlington 2013s have a goal difference of 41 and 2011s have a goal difference of 35 so there is some talent there. Seems likely many move to GA.
- FVU will have talent leave that is replaced by lesser talent. They will always be able to field a team due to the badge but the quality is going down.
- VDA is definitely picking up players from NVA and SYC across 2013-2011 age groups.


Have the current VDA players been notified?



At most, maybe one or two SYC players would even consider leaving. The drive to VDA just doesn’t make sense for SYC families. I do wonder whether current VDA players have actually received offers or know if they have roster spots for next year. Based on how things look this winter, I wouldn’t feel very confident in VDA’s leadership

That players are being added to the roster for next year? Do clubs do that?

If you are currently on a Virginia ECNL squad and do not have an offer yet you need to start looking

NVA and SYC teams are suffering losses at all age groups…


This is definitely a troll trying to stir the pot. SYC only lost a few girls, but what about the new players who already committed at their ID sessions that you’re not mentioning? Love to see SYC living rent‑free in your mind. 😉


Are the new girls committing as a result of poaching?

New commits are mostly ECNL-RL or subs on an ECNL team. Starters from ECNL clubs are not committing to SYC GA unless it’s the 12’s or 13’s. SYC is losing starters to ECNL, that’s a fact.

They’re losing the stronger girls and being replaced by girls not as strong. Generally not how to build stronger teams.

You might not be new here, but you definitely posted some wildly false and inaccurate info.


Not one of the PP’s but most of this information seems valid. Only a few points were predictions that I think are likely to happen.
