Fairfax Virginia Union? Remember that McLean is in control of this whole mess. McLean will take the lead.


Not true. All new 3 club equal votes partnership.


McLean is the lead. BRYC, VYS, and Brave need ECNL to have a pipeline for young kids to ECNL. Brave is getting kick out of ECNL


Not true.

What about NM and GFR?


Yes...what about GFR/DMV FC?


Guessing this won’t impact or involve GFR in any way. A combined Brave + Union would still be ECNL-only. People understandably assumed that because NM coaches at Union/McLean, was hired as the TD at GFR and continues to remain involved with DMV FC/TF, that there would be some kind of new relationship/partnership between these clubs. And that may still happen for all we know but it sounds like this consolidation between Brave and Union may have been driven by ECNL more so than the clubs themselves.

Most of this forum is talking about girls and the partnership should be pretty strong on the girls side!

I just don’t understand why McLean coaches lack maturity to keep their mouth shut. Why are they running their mouth at their practices with their kids? I’m talking about teams that are not even ECNL.

Regardless of the structure, McLean has the coaches, college placement success and stronger teams (w/ 1 exception) on the girls side, so I would think that it would be McLean/Union people in the key spots.
