UPDATED again by non-OP: Alphabetical list of all the known ECNL and GA (Tier 1 and 2) teams in a 40-mile radius from the DMV in 2025-2026. Baltimore and north, Richmond and South, and Charlottesville are excluded as likely different markets for most players.
ECNL
1. Arlington (VA)
2. Bethesda (MD)
3. Fairfax VA Union (VA)
4. Maryland United (MD)
5. VDA (VA)
GA-Tier 1
1. Alexandria (VA)
2. Loudoun 2 (VA)
3. McLean (VA)
4. NVA - Loudon 1 (VA)
5. SYC (VA)
6. TSJFC (VA)
7. VRSC (VA)
ECNL-RL
1. Arlington 2 (VA)
2. Bethesda 2 (MD)
3. BRYC (VA)
4. DCSC (DC)
5. GRFC (VA)
6. Herndon (VA)
7. LMVSC (VA)
8. Maryland United (MD)
9. PWSI (VA)
10. Stafford (VA)
11. Valor (VA)
12. Vienna (VA)
13. Villareal (VA)
14. VSA (VA)
GA-Aspire
1. Alexandria 2 (VA)
2. Loudoun 3 (VA)
3. McLean 2 (VA)
4. Potomac 1 (MD)
5. PPA 1 (DC)
6. SYC 2 (VA)
7. VRSC 2 (VA)
After updating OP's list, it dawned on me that responsibility for the constant complaints on this board about rosters getting watered down falls mostly on the RL and some on Aspire. 21 teams, with 14 of them in the ECNL-R? That is about 400 girls per age group. With that scope, ECNL/GA has rapidly become a much wider pyramid than it was 2 to 3 years ago. And with the comparatively more entrenched nature of the ECNL rosters, I assume GA stands to pluck a disproportionate share of “new” players that float up to the top of the second-tier teams next year. It will be interesting to see it play out.

Add pipeline. But those two are some ECNL teams that place in Towson. So nobody talks about them.
Pipeline girls are on life support but boys are still quite competitive for an ECNL setup

Isn't GA-A #2 really the Loudoun #3 team?
First team: NVA (GA)
Second team: Loudoun (GA)
Third team: Loudoun (GA-A)

Great list. Believe Herndon and Villareal will have RL teams next year.
