Everyone that wants it

ECNL or GA - just make sure you understand who your coach really is. This is defined by when things go bad. Are they inappropriate with their kids, harassing kids that think of leaving or are they professional about it.

Some coaches turn very very nasty and Phil at Loudoun has not for anyone that’s leaving. There are two Maryland Clubs where the coaches are being jerks to their girls for wanting to leave and one of them is about to get fired for harassment of the kids.


I don't understand why Metro/Mclean/Bethesda parents are posting here? Please stay put at your 2nd rate clubs.

Signed,
Loudoun and FCV Parents.


FCV Loudoun and McLean 07 teams are all pretty strong. At other ages Loudoun not even close to being competitive with FCV Bethesda or McLean

I heard they were lured away by a 07 parent doing FCVs bidding. And it’s not the person that’s been mentioned.


This time I don’t think it’s the dad mentioned above or the one we suspect.

I heard it is the dad of the 07 player who also guest plays with the 06 team. He is trying to surround his daughter with more talent and has been working hard at doing such.

Is it that more of the players the end up there simply don’t want to play college ball (or rather it is a secondary priority to going to the school they want) or is it more lack of effort / connections on the coach/club side? Or a bit of both?


Because all the best players went to McLean and FCV for ECNL….and Loudoun acts more like a family run business. Still haven’t seen a juggernaut to come run their girls program. They need one ASAP.

At least FCV is smart enough to know that their league sucks but still fight to get their kids recruited which is the only way their surviving.

Loudoun has everything but scanners it.

They want to be a little girl club when they better learn to be a big girl club.

This is a Loudoun parent. My DD is on the 2007 team. It is a strong team and the two new Arlington additions look great. Very solid players. Made us all wonder what Arlington did to lose them. Next year will be a good year.


Echoing this comment! I don’t know much about the other Arlington girl, but one of them we have been watching since she was in third grade. She was always making the plays and scoring goals that were beyond her age. Every time we played Arlington, she was the stand out. On top of that, my daughter knows her and she is a dynamite kid. We welcome our new players to 2007 Loudoun. Do not listen to any of the negative talk. You are joining a great team with a great coach.

They seem strong especially two players from Arlington. One girl we have been watching for years and she is a powerhouse. Arlington must not have treated families well to lose that family.


It will be interesting to see how this all works out. Loudoun and Arlington are separated by some distance. Neither club is particularly known for college placements. Hopefully Loudoun will be able to hold together a decent 07 team into the recruiting years (and not lose their ECNL club status).

Yeah. I'm calling BS on this one. Make up a better story.

This board is all movement across teams is good, competition is good, if your player can't win their spot each year they deserve getting cut, survival of the fittest..and then, in the next breath, it's knocking clubs for poaching players, clubs need to develop their own players.

I'm starting to think there are people on this forum who just bash clubs for the sake of it.


100% correct. It's all due to the big ego parents so they can claim their team is "better" when most people in the real world don't give a crap.


As a parent on the team who finds this entire thread hilarious, and still doesn’t give a crap. Wry few teams will stay together forever.


Uhhhh….you just brought back a thread that hasn’t been commented on in a month and put to the top of the page. Congrats 07 dad who doesn’t care.
