Stop. No coaches are leaving. The only mclean coach is CW. No way he leaves all his buds from the last decade. He stays Union. Literally no change at Union except for maybe the home field.

You think CW leaves McLean paycheck on the table?

CW going to GF. Fallowing Nadir.

Tick tock…

McLean has no identity or community any more. Parents really don’t trust the Club. No one is flocking to McLean with this news.

Why not? isn't GA a better platform to get recruited than ECNL-R?

After the top 1/2 GA clubs in thea rea, not sure, but it's much easier to get a winning record in GA in this area than it is ECNL-R... for now.

I think a lot of those kids that left VYS for McLean will try to come crawling back home now. Hope it was worth it to leave Vienna and build up average club like McLean.

Do you think they were all different locations? Do you think those are all the ECNL clubs leaving?


Maybe separate posts for new clubs entering (non-ECNL)

That is definitely McLean

I don't think it will impact SYC or McLean, they are far enough apart that it wouldn't impact their base areas much at all.

But, I think it further impacts the STJ girls training in Springfield. Their 1st team in GA is located so far away. Now girls who want to pursue GA will options to transfer to SYC and McLean instead of going way out to Ashburn for GA.
