Is Bethesda ECNL?

It doesn't matter. Better players on the girls' side will continue to go to McLean at U13 and above because of their history of getting girls to college soccer. The original deal benefitted SYC because it gave the illusion of a special ECNL pathway, which helped attract younger girls into SYC's programs.

I don’t think I see either happening.
Why? The partnership makes no sense.

McLean had ECNL before partnering with SYC and renaming their ECNL program "VA Union."

Yeah you're absolutely right. They recruit U13 girls who don't require any development to sign with Div 1 P5 programs, six years later. No development at all.
You think all of those girls played for McLean at U13? Oh honey…
The age they start there doesn't matter. They know how to get girls recruited.
The benefits of ECNL.

A shiny new powerpoint to show parents of top players that *this* is the next big thing that will get our kids into college.
They are Lucy. We are Charlie Brown.
