That would be glorious

Or better yet merge Union and NVA

Onion and NVA merge doesn't make sense because Fairfax and Loudoun county are large enough (population) to support an ECNL club on their own. Those counties are also too large geographically to have a central location for practice that serves both counties.

Geographically Union and Arlington would be the best fit

Have you checked Arlington's population?

no more mergers. brutal on everyone. club, players, coaches, parents. college coaches can't keep up with nova soccer. its an awful experience ...if you haven't been through one, or two...or three . no more. ecnl is only out for ecnl, not youth soccer.

Les revolutionaires not liking this idea one bit. Or is ECNL also gonna sell themselves like GA did?

NVA is going GA once ECNL switches to school year.

Ummm, VDA 09s made it out of their group in playoffs and were only eliminated in PKs in Playoffs.

I can’t stand Cali Dad. We don’t live in SoCal and have great weather year round. PDA and Penn Fusion compete well every year.

Two years ago SoCal didn’t have a great showing.

This guy just wants to put everyone down because he is a Union dad.

VDA beat most of the NVA. A few of the games were not competitive. 07/06 was a good game but VDA still won 2-0. 08s was 5-1. 09s was 4-0.
I can only speak to the VDA 07/06. They had a ton of girls come down from 06 plus a few high level FCV girls. Great team and they should easily win the conference.

Spill the beans or it didn’t happen!

All hail VDA

Is NVA still a club after yesterday?
