The 2012 Girls ECNL Regional game never updated on the ECNL site. I did hear a Herndon (or Sterling) coach got ejected for arguing calls last week. Not sure if that explains why the game isn't updated or if that's what this poster is referring to. But coaches get red cards at this level pretty frequently (I think I've seen at least 3 in the past couple of years at my DC's games).

Still no score logged

2012G is a Sterling coach. What happened at the game?

What happened at this game?

Not fooling anyone I suppose and proving how rotten the NoVA soccer world is.

It does seem like NA must’ve done some arm twisting to get that award, in an attempt to bring more girls to the program. It seems like they are really trying with marketing, etc. but nothing speaks louder than results and track record.

They had a combined Herndon/Sterling girl's practice this week for next year's team at Herndon. Sterling girls were told that they all have a spot on next year's team if they were on this year. No idea the turnout. We didn't go since we won't be back next year.

What percentage of the girls do you think will stay? In the immediate vicinity there unfortunately aren’t many options for girls.

DP, but how immediate are you talking? I feel like there are so many clubs in within 10-20 min. Other than Herndon/Sterling you have GFR, Loudoun East, Valor, St James... I guess if you live in town of Herndon and are looking for a 5 min drive or less you have to stick with Herndon? But that puts some tough constraints on things.

GFR and LE are options. I don’t think STJ has girls teams for older girls in Loudoun, and Valor fields can easily be 40 minutes on week nights. I guess it depends on where you’re coming from.

Of those options, GFR will field at least 3 teams and seems to be the most organized. I believe the tryouts are mostly done though, and I'm not sure if they offer ID sessions. From what I've heard, LE and St. James are small and might not have enough players to form a team for your age group. Valor tryouts haven't happened yet, so there's still time to register to check it out. They are also medium sized like GFR, though I hear that some players are leaving due to changes in the coaching staff. If you live east of Herndon, there are some medium to large sized clubs (Arlington, Mclean, Vienna). If you live west of Herndon, there are some medium to large sized clubs in Leesburg (Loudoun, Revolution, PWSI/VSA)
