They don’t play in the same league. One is recognized as an up and coming program with good younger teams and 2 solid feeder clubs. The other is great Falls-Reston with some kids that didn’t make McLean, bryc, fcv, vda, Arlington. MU lost players to all of those clubs this tryout season.

The battle between ECNL does not hurt DA. Silly poster.

DA has some good and bad teams So does ECNL.

The good teams are heavily recruited in both leagues. See the common denominator?

The battle is holding many clubs back.

I dont care about the clubs. I care about my kids team. My kid plays ECNL for recruiting.Good teams attract college recruiters. My kid was seen by over 30+college coaches this weekend.

A weak DA and/or ECNL team attracts less recruiters. End of story. Stop with the league vs league crap. Yes, there is talent dilution. Find a team that hasn't been severly effected by it. Stop worrying about the age groups above and below you. They dont effect your kids team.

Team specific. Say it 10xs over.

Ok, relax. VDA is a solid program. They would be a force if there was more clarity regarding the future of ECNL/DA.

1. 30 colleges were not there to see YOUR kid there were two teams on the field. College coaches go to watch players who reach out to them directly or have had coaches do so on the players behalf.

2. College coaches do not have time to window shop.

Stop with the lecturing. I've been around long enough to know how it works. There is no uncertainty with ECNL/DA. Dont know what gave you that idea. Get on the best team in whatever league that floats your boat. That's your decesion. Competetion and exposure wise, they're the same. I assure you that.

I'm not arguing with you. VDA is a strong program. Relax.

In the local area: Stronger than BRYC (except 03) and Loudoun maybe in ECNL. Weaker than MU and don't hold a candle to FCV's quality.
