Unfortunately ecnl clubs have made calls already. Apparently your news is old because DM’s from DA parents today have told us they were getting calls from ECNL clubs already to jump shift. You got to remember $ talks.

I’ve taken the tweet down because some creeps thought they could take that info and then send Twitter DMs to kids to jump ship. I’m looking at you
@ImCollegeSoccer
.

Isn’t Danaher ECNL too? That’s what it says on his Twitter page. So two ECNL guys tweeting the competition is finished is credible news?

I heard it from a few different places but it’s a rumor. We will find out tomorrow. If it is true I guess the “super team” model will come back. Three team for the dMV area. A lot less chairs when the music stops for players. Many good players will not have options but hey this is what everyone was yelling for...

3?

Agree MANY more than 3 if DA folds unless massive consolidation.

Boys
“Da” : DCU
ECNL: BRYC MCLEAN LOUDOUN VDA BETHESDA MARYLAND UNITED RICHMOND BALTIMORE ARMOUR ARLINGTON


Girls
ECNL: BRYC MCLEAN LOUDOUN VDA BETHESDA MARYLAND UNITED RICHMOND BALTIMORE ARMOUR ARLINGTON STJFCV - don’t think Metro survives.

Wouldn’t pipeline take over Baltimore Amour kids. (Not a pipeline booster just thinking through Maryland dynamics).

DA would get rolled in and then everyone gets what they want. Coming out of a pandemic facing a economic recession to depression it would be wise for ECNL to fold in DA’s and reduce travel.

A VA division of ECNL could look like:
Loudoun
VDA
McLean
BRYC
FCV
Arlington
Metro
Richmond

The bottom two teams would be promotion relegation from ECNL Regional.

I assume you would have a different list for boys, for many reasons. This would not cut it and there are many better boys clubs in the area not on this list. Wouldn’t be bad simply to have separate leagues and memberships depending on relative strengths of boys and girls teams.

Don’t have boys so why would I speculate on something I know nothing about? And how does the provided list prevent a boys parent in the know make up their own list?

You are not qualifying what you say, which can be helpful if you are trying to communicate clearly.

I don’t need to qualify my statements and frankly I don’t care. The list was obviously not boys. Feel free to make your own list.

The part about not caring - bingo - loud and clear. Bravo to you.

I don’t have boys so I don’t care. I’m not invested and since I don’t have boys I have no insight into the boys side of the sport and it’s landscape. I don’t know how much more clear I can be than that. Why would I make a list for the boys side.

You might want to start caring. There is a ‘rumor’ on another board - from a knowledgeable poster - that MLS teams will have teams u16 and up for BOTH boys and girls. And that will be the top of the pyramid.

return of the Washington Spirit (by way of DCU)

oh goodness, you are really going to ruffle some anti-DCU/WS feathers on this forum now!!

Wishful thinking for folks that are hating travel. But way too small a conference. Include NC teams and you might be close. I doubt pro/rel is part of the picture.

10 teams is enough for a division and the furthest trip would be Richmond. As we approach a recession cutting travel expenses would need to be the priority if ECNL even expects to survive. Also, with an uncertain reopening date and States managing their own stay at home orders it is a bad time to try and mix states currently. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Fall season is scratched as well. If there is no Fall soccer then ECNL will not be immune as clubs will fail so all the ECNL crowing will be moot anyway.

We will have a fall season. When everything is all said and done we CAN NOT stay closed. We are only in April. This virus is moving fast and the curve is being neutralized. Even the expected numbers of deaths are lowering daily. My guess is that we come out of this with numbers more in line with a bad flu season. I do believe that it was wise to shut down but obviously the economy is not going to be able to survive if we don’t figure out how to get back to our lives. There will be summer soccer there will be fall soccer kids will go back to school. ECNL will not change travel plans drastically DMV will keep NC and SC in the division. With every passing day no one truly knows what will happen but life will go on and it’s not going to take 3-4 months to get things back.

Amazing how many kids I see outside now practicing. Did the parents just now tell them to get your arse out there and get ready for tryouts! Going to be interesting.

FCV getting ECNL would be a huge surprise considering the great big bridge they burned many years ago.

True, but who knows. These are rumors going beyond NOVA. As with other speculation, it either happens or doesn’t. Nobody is changing anything they do for the foreseeable future anyway. Just gives people something to think about besides the you know what. The irony being that all of this results from the you know what.
