yeah, risk the girls program for the sake of the boys. sound great.


My daughter is still young and we are still learning this process, but it certainly seems like a lot of clubs do this. Is there any club that wants to focus on girls?

That used to be FCV which was girls only for a time but we see where that is headed

There is more than a vested interest at Loudon by their CEO and the NVA TD to keep the girls program as a top priority

Have you followed the younger ages against mlsnext clubs (younger teams)? Ls would be the west Virginia of MLS next (hopefully west Virginia gets better next year).

Sounds great for $$ but probably not the best choice.


Loudoun would be on same level as Alexandria and Achilles.


Achilles goes if Loudoun comes in.


I don’t think any club was removed when West VA was added. I think removal is dependent on completely different criteria.

ECNL national on the boys side isn't much better than the NAL. There may be bright spots here or there but MLS Next is the top of the boys youth game.

After the DA fallout it is funny to see that ECNL picks which clubs to take that fight up with as far as which are allowed to run MLS next on the boys side and ECNL national for girls.

I’m confused


Isn't MLS Next only for the boys side? I'm confused too. If that's still the case (I don't have male soccer players so don't keep up with the boys side) can LS keep ECNL on the girls side?


ECNL is a club membership. Either you field all teams or you leave


Loud and wrong. Bethesda is ecnl girls and mls next boys


Bethesda and others mentioned above were DA for the boys and ECNL for the girls, prior to ECNL really pushing the all-in stuff. To my knowledge no club has had BOTH ECNL boys and girls and then pulled their boys program to MLS Next.


There are plenty of others like this outside of DC. ECNL would look weak and hypocritical to apply a different standard to Arlington or NVA United. Just plain dumb. Let's also remember that Loudoun was DA for boys. As was Richmond. Etc etc etc.

ECNL will NOT allow you to have your top team in MLS next and second team in ecnl. They removed PDA and FC Delco out of ECNL. It's a fact!


They told pda and Delco to pick either ECNL or MLS Next. They both picked MLS Next and put their B teams that played in ECNL in the new National Academy League NAL.

ECNL can’t bully the powerhouses like PDA and Delco like they do to the clubs in Virginia

Don’t disagree, but the only leverage ECNL has is to boot clubs girls’ programs, if those clubs pull their boys and go MLS Next.

If NVA and Arlington leave for MLS Next, how do you keep VDA, Richmond, Pipeline, etc., in ECNL Boys? They will all start jumping ship.
