This did not happen. I don't know of any players from Bethesda or Maryland United who went to McLean because of Covid restrictions.
Are you associated with the U17 team?

My $ is on McLean to still be a cut above VDA in the coming years. McLean 04 came in last place at U16 and this season virtually the same exact team of players beat VDA by 4 goals and are the top NOVA team in the conference. McLean teams and players get better as they get older bc of better coaching (and usually a few new players added to the existing group).

McLean went 4-0 against your older teams winning by a combined score of 15-4 this season. Are you looking forward to the future?
Well, that explains the butt whooping they get every time... just because girls play up doesn't make them great. Sorry, it doesn't. Likely McLean 05s need position players. My DD has been keeper for 05s before, doesn't mean she wants to be on the team. Good excuse tho.
VDA seems triggered here I am here for all of it.

Do you think if you keep posting about Loudoun that you are making your point or just people are seeing you as someone bitter that doesn't care for Loudoun. We get it, you think Loudoun is bad. Post number 99 is not any different then the 57th one. Please identify yourself as I think all of DCUM will contribute to a gofundme account to get you a refund so we don't have to hear about Loudoun.

No S Sherlock. It's been that way for years, McLean teams get better with age. #dosomeresearch
Why is that?
See above. McLean is a club that attracts players. They continue to make the rosters better as time goes on.
While it is true that success attracts good players, it is impossible to grow competitive teams at U17 and U18 without internal development. These days it's probably 30% addition, and 70% development. Years back, it was probably more even when they were a "destination" club.
Congrats on a crappy covid season where a quarter of the games have been played, practice schedules interrupted, Bethesda kids fleeing to Mclean because they can't play in Montgomery County. So on and so forth. This season doesn't mimic anything similar to a ECNL season.
But hey....whatever
Well, 06 VDA whooping McLean over the years 5w 1t, but hey, whatever. McLean getting better (lost last time 3-0)
McLean has rarely been near the top before U16 with any team. So you are clearly new to this and haven't done much research. Since I have had multiple kids go through this, it is always funny to hear the young parents brag at the young ages. It means nothing, don't be surprised when McLean beats you at U16 and above. It always happens. Their style of play is going to lead to mistakes at the younger age groups but then leads to consistency and domination at the older age groups. Same narrative all the time that everyone is catching up but then same result for McLean. Best club in the DMV before ECNL, before DA, during DA, after DA. But congrats on your U10-15 success and enjoy it while it lasts!
They have you drinking that kool aid hard. It’s recruiting, not style of play. The kids at McLean for the younger age groups won’t be there for the older ages. Do CW and NM actually have you convinced that McLean’s older teams improve rapidly because of style of play? That’s a good one. I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you’re interested.
I have seen it with my own two eyes with both my kids playing in the club for awhile. Yes we added players for both teams and some great players but the core of the teams are the same teams that barely won when we were younger.
