Let's hope the selection process is merit based and not deep pockets getting their kids buried in the team since the coaches are in their pockets. If I were Brave, I will demand an independent coach to come assess the players at the tryouts and make the selection so its fair. The teams can make their Veo games available as part of the evaluation of each player. Unfortunately, this would not happen and there will still be weak links on the consolidated team (undersize, not fast and physical, technical skills lacking and always getting pushed off the ball).

The stronger players always have do more to compensate for this when they are in the game, like they are playing one or two players down. This creates a situation where the these stronger players are risking getting injured -- ACL, MCL tears. These coaches really need to clean this up.

Under Coach Kevin (Bethesda), this will never happen. The weak ones rarely plays and eventually are replaced.

In a new equal partnership and the new ECNL club it won’t be up to just McLean-Union.

hahaha, I would love to see you tell Nadir or Clyde you want an independent assessment. It's never been fair in these circumstances and it never will be whether you're talking about McLean or anywhere else. The incumbents on the Union teams have the upper hand until it is clear that an outside player is head and shoulders better. That's what sucks about this merger... if you're a mid-pack or lower BRAVE ECNL player, you're in a tough spot. As a parent, it's your job to know how this works and have a plan B at least. Demanding justice will get you nowhere.

Similarly, if you’re a mid-pack or lower Union player, you’re in a tough spot.
Union does not have the upper hand in the equal partnership and of course there will always be players that will be better.

Whoever holds the license holds the upper hand. That's just the way it works. When one company absorbs another its called a 'merger' --that's just for show. It's really an acquisition of one company by another. So, the question is who retains the ECNL National license--and whose 'plan' is it really?

McLean has the ECNL Charter. Brave charter was good for two years and it will not be renewed by ECNL.

MV loves politics and will thrive at McLean. If he is a coach and you’re not from Vienna. Good luck.

what is wrong with MV. I heard lot of rumors about him.

BRAVE players and families are very happy with MV as a coach. Just ask any on his current teams. Will be hard to get buy-in from many BRAVE families if he’s not a coach in the new partnership club.

Do you know if Nadir or Clyde will be the coaches? What if it’s the Brave or Vienna coaches?

I do not know but my guess is the ECNL coaching slate will be based on current Union coaches Nadir, Matt, Brent. This might be the event that causes Clyde to not take a team. Maybe one BRAVE coach sneaks a team, and the rest are helpers.

Your guess is incorrect.
