Do you think a business is stronger than the industry it's in? This is why ECNL will survive without FCV; the league is stronger than a single girls club.

Especially with ECNL boys growing. Skyline's GA teams will only be for a year or two; they will join their boys team in ECNL just as Arlington did. But the PP is correct; FCV's player pool will diminish as their U13-U15 girls players look to better competition and venues. They will still produce great players but the most serious and the most competitive players will leave for the most serious and most competitive league. Loudoun will benefit, McLean will benefit, Arlington may benefit.

Loudoun paid staffers and minions. They’re scared about neighboring clubs taking their $$$ and can’t afford to lose not making a mortgage payment on their 7 bedroom apartment.

Why would a Director of Coaching go to neighboring clubs’ practices to take pictures of people not wearing masks and report to parks and recreation?
Why would a technical director actively vote against other neighboring clubs getting field permits and accessing other venues over them despite them having their own turf?

Why would they pride themselves in saying one coach per ECNL team and now after their spring fiasco and deplorable results they want to ignore their stewardship promises and put 2 teams per coach thinking they’ll salvage and do damage control on lower registrations?

Why didn’t they offer Training academy on Wednesdays saving 130k in salaries yet have began offering 30% reduction contracts for the upcoming year?

1. They are a club not a team
2. And what team do they have that is the best in the DMV?

I bet they would be accepted in a heartbeat

They should be accepted in a heartbeat. That would greatly improve ECNL competition in the DMV
