There will be no youth soccer clubs putting players/teams into "travel" leagues, elite or otherwise, in 2020. Spring 2021 is the new focus.

Very short sighted and useless debate going on here.


News flash. You this is the east coast. Virginia south place ECNL season in Fall. Maryland up plays in the Spring

Give it up, they don’t need to cheapen the brand. They’ll build, as it demands

Again hold on to your hope that your precious daughter will be able just to walk on, I’m sure she’s not that good but good luck to you! You will need it.




You have no idea what's coming. Best of luck!


This make you sound like a scared parent with your back against the wall. Just go to whatever tryouts you want and shut up.

I'm basically illiterate in Math and its not that hard to figure this out.

There are approximately 270 DA girls is NOVA that are going to hit free agency (U14 - U18/19). (18 man roster x 5 teams per club is 90). (90 x 3 DA clubs = 270)
There are approximately 360 ECNL roster spots in NOVA. (U14 - U18/19) (18 man roster x 5 teams per club is 90). (90 x4 ECNL clubs = 360)

These are approximates.....so lets examine a charitable scenario.

Let say, 25 percent of Metro kids break into existing ECNL rosters. That's 22 kids out of 90
Lets say 70 percent of FCV kids break into ECNL rosters: That's 63 kids out of 90
Lets day 50 percent of Arlington kids break into existing ECNL rosters: That's 55 kids out of 90

Grand total: 140 kids able to break into existing rosters out of 270.

That's 51 percent total.

Let break the 140 kids down evenly between the 5 age groups.

There will be 28 DA kids per age group breaking into existing ECNL rosters.

There are currently 4 ECNL teams in NOVA: That's 7 DA kids per team if spread out evenly (which it wont be. Some teams will be effected more than others).

That means 33 percent of the existing ECNL roster will be replaced with DA kids.

That means 67 percent of ECNL rosters stay as is.

Loudoun and Mclean will see the most pressure to absorb.

I thought only FCV bred that kind of arrogance. Probably just lashing out.


So Arlington girls all go to McLean. Where will FCV girls go?

Most lol? Think again. Top 5 maybe but your underestimating the top 11 at most of these ECNL teams. You should be worried not ECNL girls that have been established and playing in top platforms for years. But please feel free to think that it’s going to be a walk in the park.


Playing ECNL for years? Only one club really qualifies there and that is McLean.

Thanks for the laugh though.


All DMV ECNL teams have been playing for 2+ YEARS so YES years... smh


Seriously? They will replace anyone and everyone if better girls come out. Dude it’s youth travel soccer. There is no loyalty...that will not change. The parents who remain will talk about how weak the girls were who got cut.

If ecnl does not add clubs, it’s basically two teams being cut down to one teams. It most likely will help Mclean out the most. They were surrounded by DA clubs....not any more.


This is the right answer on multiple counts.
