With only Arlington and VDA left in ECNL, won’t be many spots. Most will have to stay with FVU.
And none of the above will win a natty

Actually, I think this is a good move for McLean- especially on the girls side. The older girls are doing well in RL and there are some good athletes on the teams. I think this keeps those girls from moving clubs. Plus McLean has the infrastructure of a big club and money. Good move McLean.

Boys-low ranked ECNL-R teams become mediocre MLSNext 2 teams. That’s a wash.
Girls-low ranked ECNl-R teams become GA. Probably an upgrade. No one who wasn’t going to get cut from an ECNL team is moving over.
McLean has no identity or community any more. Parents really don’t trust the Club. No one is flocking to McLean with this news.
NAL or MLNS tier 2 is def much better competition than ECNL RL.

McLean what a mess! First mess with SYC, now ruined FVU. They are the issue. Hope it works for them.

Plus NVA/Loudoun.... The 3 best teams in the state would be in GA
What is the Loudoun rumor? Would they abandon NVA for girls and boys?

Man I hope BRAVE decides to go with purple kits. Those will look sharp!

Feeling left out, were you?
It’s VDA and BP that are feeling left out.

So you think those 2013 girls go to Union or Arlington even if the club pulls out? Maybe the older girls stay at Union, but I’d think the ones not already there (2013 and below) would follow the club, which is largely what happened with SYC when they left.
Would guess kids follow coaches if they like them.
