Ummmm, what about High School soccer?

See the thing is, ECNL will not delay these games because they are scheduled in January and February to accommodate the HS season.

Soccer is played year round outside and there is plenty gear available to athletes to do so comfortably.

+1 not all ECNL teams are dong that. Would be nice so that you can see a higher pressure game and test out players in new positions. And friendlys are just that, friendlies that don’t count towards anything but testing players in new positions with higher pressure.

Lol. Higher pressure games? Yeah. Okay

McLean playing MD united this weekend

The plan is to try to play the games later this spring. Not sure when, and what the criteria is, but buying time essentially.

The following weekend we are hosting teams from NC provided they want to come up here. If they are ok traveling the games will be played. I honestly don't know if this is a McLean decision or was a group decision with all Virginia ECNL teams.

VA vs. NC ECNL games are reportedly not happening Jan. 23/24 & 30/31. Sounds like VA refusing to travel to NC, so NC not going to VA.

VA just traveled to FL. So doubtful you are correct

This is correct, at least for younger ECNL ages. NC games are postponed. Too many kids would have to quarantine once back from NC. Private school kids that attend in person. PVI kids, now that it has opened in Loudoun. The U17s and up did travel to FL but that was a showcase (with D2/3 coaches) vs. league games where college coaches don’t come.

Not blaming them. If people want to buy it then someone is going to sell it.
