They mean the lower players, not the existing ECNL players. They don't let RL players who want to try and compete for a spot come.

Would you expect your current coach to let you know before tryouts if they were planning on moving your player down?

You think every club that will take your player is good for your player?

Folks always chasing greener in the distance grass

We've left a club twice, and moved up a level both times. In each case we've gone back to watch the old teams and it's always clear we made the right decision for DC. It's not even necessarily purely greed/laziness that keeps a club from moving DC up, they may really have a strong roster or not need anyone in your kids position.

It's in their interest to keep you paying, and keep you waiting in case a spot does show up. It's not necessarily in your child's interest to do either.

Is this a general ECNL post or Arlington only?

Either. I know Arlington and Union have Sunday sessions. I believe VDAs are Tuesday/Wednesday

Arlington sessions are NEXT Sunday, Feb 8

Meant to add, haven’t yet heard anything from Union or Arlington about theirs.

VDA hasn’t announced the postponement, but they will.

I got an email from VDA yesterday with the new dates. It probably depends on age group.

Current players were evaluated throughout the season. They aren't going to see you at a session and make a decision.
