Team was strong pre-Covid19, now they have a new coach that has won championships. Something VDA has never done. Adding new players to the team strengthens his depth. He’s Brillant.


That team has won championships already, Mikey.

They are brilliant. They have a new coach who will take them all the way. If the girls work hard they will learn. Parents need to calm down and trust the system.


They’ve already been to a national championship final game, Mikey. Just don’t screw it up.


Hilarious!!

You guys are a bit much.

Can anyone talk about how the boys have handled the unexpected switch from DA to ECNL

Who cares the season doesn’t start for 3 months. Can’t imagine sitting at home wondering how good the VDA 06 team is

If they added 16 players it would be a pool. If they added 1-2 it is just a bigger squad to deal with the change from 12 month ECNL season at u14 to 6 month at u15. Brutal schedule with a lot of double header weekends. It’s normal, our Mclean Team had 25 players and was not “pool”. Pool would have 2 teams playing in different events and leagues with players moving around.


Whatever you call it, 11 on the field and 14 on the bench is not great for development.


Mclean players know going in what the situation is. They are okay with it.


They are until they find out what playing spare minutes in only half the games really mean.



Fine if the coach doesn’t suffer of amnesia.

Perhaps a 6 month season is not good for development? But ECNL was never about development as much as it was about showcases.

Any league whose schedule requires teams to carry 16 or more bench players to get through a 6 month compressed schedule may not have the kids best interest at heart.
