If your daughter were any good, she would be playing for BSC. The good to great players do fine at BSC. It's the players who don't understand the game, can't learn fast that don't do well.

Families with strong players do chose not to play for BSC..............

Yet the strongest players are there…

Um… no. Some are. Some are elsewhere.

So does anyone actually know if there will be another ECNL option in MoCo? Or is this all hearsay anyway?

Do not wait for ID sessions. That's too late. Contact coaches now and ask to join practices. If they don't already know you before ID sessions it is very difficult to stand out unless your player is head and shoulders above and dominating everyone else on the field.

I thought that wasn’t allowed if you’re coming from another ECNL team.

Incorrect. If you knew the coach of NL team at Bethesda for our age group, you might understand why some would not play under him. The 2nd RL team is a wide ability range and there is no help for college recruitment. The other issue w Bethesda is lack of general organization: constantly changing practice times, days, locations, and tournaments. Believe me, there needs to be another option.

This right here!

More teams doesn't mean more elite players. You're just watering down the teams.

Without getting into BSC love/hate, it would be good to have more than one ECNL option in moco. I doubt it would water down teams.

I’m guessing what can happen is that players on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams of Potomac and Bethesda would try out for this mystery ECNL.

But is this even a big deal anymore since the whole MLS Next expansion?

Well it would be players from Potomac 1 trying out too, since Bethesda is the only one with an ENCL girls team in MoCo.

We’re all patiently waiting on what happens next. We’re in uncharted waters…

It wont water down teams. There are plenty of good players out there that don't get fair evaluations because of soccer politics.
