You clearly don't know what you are talking about, assuming you are talking about NextGen (u9/10) because Alexandria pulled out for the spring. All games canceled. They were in for the fall. And, no, not all games are scheduled and happening. Most clubs have 5 games scheduled and some B teams have 4 (some were postponed and who knows if rescheduled). If you consider 4 or 5 games to be a full schedule, you need to raise your expectations. 8 is the standard and what NCSL does. It is 100% true there is a problem and not "nonsense." |

No Im not talking about U9 Are you kidding? U9!!! They are 8 year olds and you are uptight about CCL at 8 years old
Get a life and realize your precious 8 year old is not the next Soccer star playing on the USWNT or USMNT I am laughing at your focus on U9 "next gen" No I was not talking about U9. Alex pulled out of a U9 league and you are up in arms about CCL scheduling. AS I SAID, my kid plays CCL in the girls division and no scheduling issues. Sorry for your U9 Next Gen kid, what a tragedy, a few missed games |

Actually, the point is completely the opposite. Nobody cares about leagues or their stature at u9/10. The kids just need to play. Reality check: kids find games fun; 8 and 9 year olds like to play them; the point of soccer at that age is to enjoy the game. And we pay a lot of money. There are a gazillion teams in the DC area; there's no reason kids shouldn't be able to play a decent slate of games. So if NCSL has dozens of teams and 8 games; yes, it is a problem if 8 year olds in CCL get 4; and yes, kids ask questions and wonder why they don't have a game multiple weekends in a row. It has nothing to do with thinking your kid is a superstar. Play scrimmages or XYZ league ... who cares. |

+1 I'm the old soccer parent who posted above, and I have absolutely no interest in bashing or promoting any particular league. All I can tell you having been through this for year is that in the early years, your kids just want to play soccer. Put them in a situation where they will have fun playing the game and learn to love it. If they have some skill, travel makes more sense than rec. However, if you wind up playing in a league that has only 3-4 games a season (as happened to my kids when they played in CCL years ago), then they might be better off playing rec. because they would be playing. No expensive travel club should be provided fewer playing opportunities than a rec. team. |

Boom! Loudoun just killed off CCL. All young age groups going to NCSL in a new club league for top teams. |

Is Loudoun going to lose girls, or boys, or both? And can they prevent it happening by improving? |

What are you talking about? They’re not losing ECNL. They’re gaining regional ECNL for their second teams. |

Now. Wait and see. There's going to be relegation. And when enough of the first teams are relegated then you lose your vote and you are no longer an ECNL club. |
