Could spirit Va combine with someone for ECNL and keep their DA in MD....

It’s more about player preference for ECNL vs. DA. As long as there is the rule about no high school soccer for DA players then both leagues will continue to exist.

Neither will have direct contact or influence on day to day academy operations. So I don't see how their presence in non youth coaching capacities will somehow draw any talent from FCV or BRYC.

Rebrand BRYC as Spirit and instantly become a force. That easy.

Talent changes everything. Let's not overthink this.

Just one way.

And what is in it for BRYC who already has successful teams in a respected showcase league?

Unles there is a significant shift in the talent pool, nothing will change

Unless spirit announces an official partnership with fCV those players will not be suiting up for the Spirit, at BRYC Larry had started to phase out, impacts the 2006 age group but the rest won't be jumping to join him.

I am not saying it can't happen but Best would have to have a clear out and bring in 1-2 important coaches from each club.

Fine.

Rebrand FCV as Spirit
Or
Rebrand BRYC as Spirit
Or
Rebrand McLean as Spirit

But nobody is giving up their player pool or merging their player pool for the betterment of Spirit.

Also I'm curious what metric we are saying is being used for better. Better is a broad statement, is it better as in wins/score, or better as in player development. I personally believe from what I saw, the coaching staff was successful in making some players better. Which is what I believe they were more focused on, my observation was winning games was not a primary concern. I'm not saying it's good to lose games, or to look less competitive by results, of scores and games. I'm sincerely just curious, without a measurable goal for what's better it's hard to say if there were any improvements.

I don't think anyone will try out at Spirit with the current situation - Staff. The only way u start to pull from bRYC McLean and FCV is if u hire their staff.

You really believe that? Never
