Hero’s White and Coppermine is interesting as we’ll see if Hero’s will compete for the 3rd playoff spot and if Coppermine is as soft as people say or will they be better than given credit for. SW vs TLC will see who battles harder to stay out of the bottom of their Division.

There’s a big soccer tournament, Jefferson Cup, the same weekend as NGLL opening weekend. Some girls will be torn about what to do. Wonder if that will impact some of the more soccer heavy teams (Coppermine, NEMS)

My DD has friends on both teams. She knows at least two on NEMS that may be at Jefferson Cup and two from Coppermine. She heard Coppermine is missing even for due to Private School Spring Break and vacation.

It’s lacrosse season, why would a player miss an NGLL game for soccer? Coach needs to tell those kids to move on. Same for missing soccer in fall for lax, shouldn’t happen.

Because they are kids.

And on the soccer side, these teams have ECNL players on them. These teams aren’t gonna tell their best athletes to “move on.” Neither would any IAAM team.

There are 3 ECNL teams in Maryland --- Pipeline, Bethesda and Maryland United.

I can guarantee you that any 08 in Bethesda and Maryland United who is on their academy team isn't playing any other sports. (This is a league rule, not a club rule) If the club found out, they would be dropped immediately. If girls are playing at these clubs, they aren't on the top team. Don't know anyone who plays on pipeline, but i would be shocked if the club broke the world and allowed it.

For the poster who said "they are kid", when you committ to an academy team, you sign an 7 or 8 page contract. From a sports perspective, you arent a kid anymore.
