wait are you saying they still haven’t announced it?!

No.. someone saw it on Loundon and NVAs website, and they hosted a town hall. But no confirmation from GAL

roflmao omg so the townhall was damage control. They didn’t announce it to the boys. Bastards acting like this is w surprise Christmas gift. The boys at my DD school are saying they have no clue whats going on. Girls from Rev broke it to them. Lmao you cant make this up.

Explains the lack of celebratory posts in here

Why r u insulting?

Ugh. Valor parents are the absolute worst. Now they are heading to MLSNext and folks will have to endure their incessant, entitled whining. Shocked Loudoun gave up ECNL National to share the spot with Valor. I don’t think that is going to end well.

In any event, welcome to MLSNext! One game here is one less in NJ next year!

Annoucning them with less than 48 hours notice feels like a panicked overcorrection (and gives the ability to shop out offers before girls go elsewhere)

These are only for the older teams and at that age, not very many openings. Again, this is only for players not affiliated with ECNL. Current Revolution and FCV players will likely show up. The club has been having IDs for those players for all age groups already though just like VDA has.

What is the appeal for current Revolution and FCV players? Why would they want to join NVA now?

College placement (because that's where the coaches and club relationships matter way more than the league). There are going to be parents that feel like their players just have to be in ECNL, so they'll leave. That'll open roster spots on the GA team. So many of you all are reacting negatively to this news on the girls side and I can't quite figure out why. If you're not on a top team (national platform) by U14 in this area, you were pretty much shut out. The fate of your DD's soccer career left in the hands of a coach with a preference or the reality that a team that wanted her on that level isn't accessible. We got the addition of SYC and VAR last year to GA. This year it's McLean and rumors of Alexandria. NVA simply switched leagues so that's not an addition. But, there are now MORE places for these girls to find a home and compete at higher levels. Is it going to look great the first year or two, no, but it will get better because they'll have the attention that they're not getting on their RL, EDP, and NCSL teams right now. You all are too shortsighted and selfish for that matter.

But Revolution and FCV are already GA. What is the benefit for them to switch to another GA team?

College placement. NVA has a better record of that. Just because they changed leagues doesn't mean the players magically declined. Since you asked that question that was already answered, I'm going to assume you believe that league affiliation is what gets kids in. It has its pros, but having a coach or director at a club that can pick up the phone and call schools is what gets most kids in. Playing next to a highly sought after prospect also helps.

You will see all the top players currently on NVA ECNL girls teams at VDA and Arlington ECNL IDs. GA is for bots.

Hope that VDa commute will be worth it 3-4 times a week especially with the influx of traffic these days lol
