Similarly it would have been good for the girls to all get to play with the team they committed to. Honoring commitments
speaks to character and integrity. Scouts and coaches are paying attention!

Look at what happened to PDA last season for abusing the Discovery player rule. All games were forfeit and the team did not go to playoffs despite its record.

If I had to make an assumption I think we will see the teams that are in question, likely be ineligible for Playoffs/Showcase at the end of the year. On the bright side, at least families will save thousands not going. On the ugly side, that event is a major event for college recruiting which sucks for 09s, 10s, and the very top 11s.

Tough situation for ECNL teatering on switching to GA. Rumors are already swirling about PDA being fed up with ECNL heads as well.

My other assumption is nothing will be done. Too much to risk if ECNL wants to keep Bethesda girls and not add another enemy like PDA.

Being outside the box, I find this situation VERY intriguing!

Rather than taking the girls you have and developing them, coaches are just trying to take from others for super teams. I get people come and go, but 5-8 at once? And look where it got BSC. They keep adding transfers, disrupt their chemistry, and get worse every year.

As I look at colleges, I’d rather my daughter go to the school that will develop her and where she will be with the same girls for years, than the one taking five transfers. Is it a lot to ask the same thing of my ECNL U16 team? Sure, let girls play wherever they want (or, rather, where their parents want them to play), but it’s got to be more transparent for everyone. I’m sure a lot of families on both teams would have made different choices if they knew this was all happening.

Didn’t FVU poach a bunch of McLean players. All in the game. Put your big boy pants on buttercup and stop whining about players that don’t want to be at your horrible club.

Fairfax Virginia Union poached an entire team from McLean.

Weird thng to say. Fairfax Virginia Union WAS McLean, VYS and BRYC. How can they poach an entire team from McLean when that team plays for the club with McLean as a member?

McLean 2013 all went to Union. They’re not playing for McLean. That’s poaching isn’t it?

Again. This post doesn’t know what poaching means. The girls choosing to play for a more competitive league isn’t poaching. No matter what the GA hats are pushing. The facts that top ECNL girls are staying ECNL and the GA kids that can transition to ECNL are, doesn’t fit their narrative. This does not equal poaching. What this means is that the kids have realized that MLSN2 and GA are now the equivalent of NCSL because of their over expansion. Not poaching, just smart. Not to say that ARL or Beth won’t go GA next season, they might, but that just consolidates the top kids in ECNL and adds to the dilution of MLSN and GA. Welcome new NCSL, enjoy your over dilution.

Playoffs next year are half the size they were this past year. It will be impossible for the 09 team to make them. The 08s and 10s have a greater chance, but it's still very difficult.

Respect the REV! Will give FVU 09 all they can handle this weekend.

No. You should all should probably get your facts straight before you start accusing coaches of illegal activity. Unless you want a defamation suit.

uhhh u better save ur money for suing ecnl. Who has deep pockets for discovery.

Hopefully u get us transfer portals if ur really successful. If not……, ooops

This whole sueing/ filing an agrievance is nonsense. FVU is totally at fault for not rehiring their most successful coaches. Are you kidding me that kids voluntarily followed good coaches…. Of course they did. Best practices = retaining good coaches or watching the kids follow them. The chefs kiss of this is remembering all the SYC and Brave parents complaining about these coaches all season and at Nationals on these boards. Now get what you deserve. Maybe next time stop being such sh|ts and this wouldn’t happen to you…
