Ahhh...nostalgic Springfield restaurants. Not upscale but I'd be all over a Chesapeake bay seafood house if it made a return.

All the McLean 2012 girls showed up for SYC tryouts, and none made the team? oooff that was a broken union.

Should be plenty of McLean girls looking to make this Union then, and that explains the neuroticism. 2 McLean girls offered when whole team attended ID so confirming yes they are looking for a home wit FVU


As mentioned earlier in this thread, McLean 2012 is one of the poorer performing clubs. It would make sense that most of those players would not make SYC. If I had to guess, most will not make FVU either.


Someone in touch with reality, thank you! McLean is failing, let's hope being the county team will help you now. Arlington girls arent leaving for Union, Springfield girls arent leaving for Union, Loudoun girls have multiple options they aren't leaving for Union, VDA is looking the strongest and they aren't leaving for Union way down in PW. So where is your talent coming from? Developing it right, get going NM + ML, this is what your so famous for right?


Development is not NM’s thing.


He tried to skate around McLeans lack of development in the younger ages by taking shots at ‘good athletes with poor style of play and low soccer IQ’ in his email. But when ECNL begins where is all of the high IQ McLean talent then?

That talent is either non existent or has been pushed out of the club already by McLean’s finest, The Honorable JA.

If your daughter is a 2012, don't feel like this year's tryouts will determine her soccer future forevermore. And don't worry too much about leagues.

As this thread demonstrates, the landscape changes regularly. Just look for good coaches and teammates (and non-crazy parents).

The town hall is going to be crazy town. There are all these merger questions but there is also that Mclean dad who mass emailed everyone who is going to show up and light this dumpster on fire! Are LW and CW going to asnwer questions?

1- JW accepts an offer from Arlington mid-January
2 - McLean BOD panics and tries desperately to poach top coaches from neighboring clubs. It fails.
3 - Braves and McLean gets a warning from ECNL.
4 - Given their inability to recruit a solid coaching slate for the boy side, McLean BOD figures it is their way out. They negotiate to keep control of the girl side while they surrender the boy side.


JW, new TD at Arlington?


JF jumped ship around the same time

Absolutley! Unless you are going to VRSC (too new) or FCV (too broken) then you might be better off going RL

Even several BRYC players made the SYC team. Doubt no McLean 2012s woudl not have made SYC GA.
