as PP said above. If your DD isn’t top 3 girls in her team then it’s a small chance

Not Loudoun. Most of the red team has been promoted to the ECNL team in the past. The others may be different.

"...in the past....." funny. Loudoun has only had ECNL for what, two years now? Hardly a track record to draw conclusions from. If the girl is good enough to make the team, they will. I can't imagine any DA/ECNL club would turn away a talent that was worthy of a spot. If the "new girl" is about the same as some of the existing lower team players from the club, I could imagine they'd promote from within versus take external, but who knows.....

It’s a fact. Did it change with the 2007s? Please share your wisdom, oh great one.

PS, it was the same way in making their top teams previously. They are insular. They do have a strange obsession with trying to pry away FCV players, though, which usually doesn’t work out too well for them.

The 2007s did add from outside the club. They evaluated a number of girls and gave offers to at least one (who joined). And you've got the whole FCV-> Loudoun thing backwards.....FCV is (and has always since they had ECNL previously....) always looking to add Loudoun kids.

The fact is that the Loudoun ECNL teams are predominantly just the former red teams, renamed. The point was not to say Loudoun won't accept outsiders, just that the odds are stacked in the favor of the current red team players at the u12 level.

The fact also is that the TD has an obsession with wrestling FCV girls away to Loudoun. If you are at Loudoun and don't know this, I'm shocked; you need to pay much more attention. Unless you already know and are trying to throw those who don't off the scent.

Wait didn't FCV 07 DA just add 2 Loudoun players this year? One from the Red team and one from Black.

It goes both ways. Are you saying that Loudoun doesn't try to poach FCV players? Like the u14 who is there who was with FCV DA last year?

Neutral party here. Just read this. I know the 2 kids that played with FCV as PT players last year but decided on their own to move to Loudoun with zero influence from the Loudoun TD. They were fed up with FCV, so despite being offerered spots, decided to leave. They also knew and liked the new assistant Loudoun coach from their ODFC days. Also, the leading scorers for FCV’s DA 06 and 05 teams all came from (younger years) either Loudoun, ODFC, or Houston, TX. I know them all. Get over your freaking high horse FCV people. You don’t grow s*$t. You recruit well and you have the DA program. There is nothing more than that. If Loudoun had the DA program they’d have all the girls on the FCV teams and be just as good. So what FCV does do better than Loudoun is know how to play the political soccer game, hence they got DA which is perceived as a more elite program, and even better they sold out to TSJ. Kudos to CZ for being business savvy, but let’s not kid ourselves on who recruits more. FCV takes the cake, and there really is nothing wrong with that, just don’t be hypocritical.

The prior poster was referring to the U14 team, or 2006 girls. They DO need a major overhaul! Don’t have a dedicated goalie and are in last place in ECNL for 2 years running...

Agreed on this team. They only have 4 girls on that team ECNL worthy.[/b] If they don't fix that problem they will be leaving in a year or 2

Sounds like they just need to get a decent goalie?
