Starting at U13 the clubs that have encl or gal pull out the best players from the RL teams - the level of competition is highest at u12

SOCA to regional league

On the girls side, VYS won 5 of the 8 age groups last season. The league will be deeper and better next year, but those teams are solid. Should be good competition with Beach and SOCA.

Bryc should get booted from Ecnl, they don’t compete in any age group.

Again, explain why you hate Loudoun and Leesburg and everything in this county so much please.

Arlington boys joined ECNL last year and the girls GAL-and girls are getting ECNL this year. SOCA girls likely will get ECNL next year.

Skyline joined GAL. SOCA and beach fc just joined ecnl regional league.

I thought Skyline and SOCA were the same club - that the teams which used to be called SOCA just took the name Skyline this year. And Syline (FKA SOCA) joined GAL for girls and ECNL for boys. I wasn't aware that they had also joined ECNL-R.

I could see some CCL teams jumping to GAL, but that league is trending down while ecnl regional is trending up. Why leave RL for similar competition but less stability and more travel? No way VYS or any other RL club wants that.

Loudoun hasn’t been in long and they are competitive at younger age groups so they will get a few years. BRYC is struggling at every level though. I don’t think they last in ECNL beyond this year. Likely replacement is either no one or the best performing club in ECNL-R (likely Beach FC, Vienna, or SOCA).

OR FCV gets ECNL

Where will you Leesburg suckers do when loudoun is booted out like a h0e from ECNL and which hole will you crawl back into when the inevitable happens?

Isn't this what ECNL wants. All the smaller clubs to feel like they are left out and will close up shop so then ECNL can be the Super league? Then next year they'll change their name to SCNL and have a good run for two to three years. and about this time a new league will be formed to take all the SCNL clubs and people will say how horrible it is.

Loudoun and bryc will be replaced due to underperformance.


Loudoun has been notified via leaks about it and tries to revamp their whole entire coaching slate to do damage control.

What does "notified via leaks" mean? And is this the girls teams, or the boys teams, or both?

Who will they be replaced by? Is promotion and relegation happening? It looks like ECNL-RL is set up for that now, but it might not make sense to have clubs moving up and down every year either.

That’s what they(and you) want to believe. In fact, that is one of the main reasons. How does a club of that size, with that pool, and the ONLY club that owns field have such horrendous performance?


Staffers, paid minions and other fanboys will spew their “we have nothing but A and B licenses”.

As if that made their case even better. They’re that delusional. People have opened their eyes and the community laughs at that so called club.

I look at it as they just aren't getting the talent to the teams. It's not a destination club anymore. i don't think any one particular club is developing better players. It's just all the talent going to one or two particular clubs. The reality is there should be only three, maybe four "elite" teams and the rest should be competitive.

I disagree with this. Coaches absolutely develop players and some do a better job than others, and therefore clubs with better coaches do a better job of developing players than others. To believe that this is not the case requires either that coaching has no impact on a player's development, or that all coaches are identical in ability.

As far as I can tell from the perspective of a parent whose DS has played against them regularly for years, Loudoun's coaching is not horrible (ethics are a different matter), but it is not amongst the best either.
