Any idea if the girls ECNL will re-align like the boys side did this year (MD/VA/NC vs. VA/NC/SC)?


Every girl team would rejoice not having to travel to SC


Is 1 trip to SC really that bad? DMV girls ECNL clubs are a bit spoiled in regard to travel already considering at least 5 conference games can be played without an overnight stay.


It's not, but doesn't SC playing with GA make more sense than with NOVA? Yes. Does NOVA playing Bethesda make more sense than playing SC? Yes. That's all we're saying. Think of the cost savings over multiple clubs, multiple teams, multiple days (that's NOVA going south and SC heading north). Almost every other conference has localized their clubs better than mid-Atlantic. There are outlier clubs, sure... but Bethesda is literally minutes from some clubs, but instead they play a club a days drive away. Come on, man.


Answer this - Does it make sense for MD kids to plays HS and Club at the same time while competing against VA who are only play club. Do you not see major issues with that? If so, the conversation is over. If not, you should dig deeper to understand that various issues.


WTF are you talking about. VA kids play HS. Our entire team plays HS soccer and did an entire slate of spring ECNL games/tournaments. This whole HS junk is the lamest excuse in history. VA kids 1000000000% play HS soccer and, in the case of Colgan HS in Manassas, dominate. You've never been more wrong and lame with an excuse that is wholly weak af.



Have you noted the number of kids with ACL injuries? It is not good to play Club and HS at same time. ECNl gets this which is why this will not change. VA aligns with hs seasons and Md aligns with their hs season.


That would be great and all, except that it's not true (aligning the seasons) on the boys side, as VA ECNL boys plays against MD ECNL boys in league play with the recent re-alignment.


That’s good and all but the MD boys are pulling double duty. Not good for them…but good for the VA kids I guess.


Are you seriously this stupid that you don’t think the shoe would be in the other foot in spring when VA HS soccer season starts?


1. Watch your mouth
2. I dont care if the burden was reciprocated.

It too much. Everybody involves knows it too much.


1. There is no requirement to do both.
2. You are too stupid to realize that VA kids would face the same dilemma in the spring.

In the HS age groups, the MD teams haven't started ECNL games yet. It's just been VA and NC teams playing games so far. Maryland teams won't start playing until late November (Pipeline)/January (Maryland United and Baltimore Celtic). https://public.totalglobalsports.com/public/event/2365/schedules/12495

There's no way to do both HS and club soccer. It's too much on the kids. And then there's when do they get time to do homework. Club soccer could be one day a week practice and no games or tournaments until HS season is over.


Then pick one to do.

My HS team is entirely made up of ECNL and GA players.

They do HS and club soccer at the same time. What benefits do you get out of lying?


Kids in VA play fall club and spring Hs
Kids in MD play fall HS and spring club

If you choose to cross over state lines, that’s on you.

Not lying. My DC plays HS soccer 4 days a week of practice and at least one game a week. No one should be doing anymore than that. If so then you're likely to get injured from overuse.

That would be sensible but it is not happening. What is real is the ACL injuries. How can kids play two games a weekend and two a week and not expect to get hurt. Every week I hear about another ACL injury. I am starting to think no hs until you know if your child wants to play college or not and if not then they play hs senior year because the worry about injury affecting college placement lessons. Also most of your grades for college already in.
