Yes Arlington is doing about the same as they did in GA. Over Ga and ECNL are the same. No difference. Sorry ECNL parents.

Arlington's highest placed team in all age groups is in the 5th place. I thought they did a lot better than that in GA.

Yeah, that 5th place team lost to Charlotte SA 1-5 and just lost to NC Courage 0-5. Looks like there will be more losses on the radar. They only had 3 losses in 18 GA league games last year.

Which team is that? There are 6 you know.

06 Arlington

So half the age groups are led by NOVA clubs? That’s a bad thing?

I was going to say this. 50% led by NOVA clubs and out of 14 total teams, 5 are in NOVA. Interesting math here and I'd say NOVA clubs doing just fine.

Yes, NOVA has a good team within each age group, but he OP was referring to NOVA as a whole. Current sum of 'points' for each club is as follows. None of the top clubs have played each other yet other than Courage and VDA. Keep in mind that Courage/NCFC is the only club that has both 1st and 2nd teams in this league.

CSA 14.00
Richmond 13.75
NC Courage 13.65
VDA 10.35
Loudoun 10.01
CESA 9.58
VA Union 9.07
Charlotte Independence 8.80
Arlington 8.64
NC Fusion 7.71
Wilmington 6.50
SCUFC 5.83
NCFC 4.59
BRYC 2.87

Just another way to look at it, but at end of the day, 3 of 6 age groups have a NOVA club on top. After that, only metric that matters is being in top 5 so you can attend post-season in Seattle for Champions League. Based on that, 3 of the top 5 (on your metric) show VA clubs, 2 of that 5 being from NOVA. Still showing NOVA doing very, very well.

And NOVA as a whole has 24 teams with 11 of them in the top 6 with winning records. For a single metropolitan area that is pretty good. If you want to stretch it out to NOVA teams with winning records, ie .500 or above we have 14 out of 24.

yeah, will be interesting to see what this looks like in another month. Richmond hasn't played any of the NC clubs yet. VDA, Union & Loudoun haven't played Charlotte SA yet. A lot will change.

Agreed. Plus, some of NOVA clubs padded up their stats by beating up on Braddock Road and have not played some of the tougher clubs.

BRYC has played a max of 8 games and only faced two NOVA clubs.

Or, Carolinas haven't played some of the tougher NOVA clubs. Works both ways don't forget.

And legit ran from VDA 06.

The point is, that it is a stretch to say that NOVA clubs have padded their stats by playing BRYC when only 2 of 4 possible clubs have even played BRYC so far.

Worth noting CSA has not played the Courage - Richmond - VDA - Union - Loudoun or CESA. They had a fairly easy start to the year.

Yes Arlington is doing about the same as they did in GA. Over Ga and ECNL are the same. No difference. Sorry ECNL parents.

Arlington 04 was top 3 in GA conference . They are 13th at 1-5-1 in ECNL

I'm not defending Arlington or GA at all, but last year's results don't have much bearing on this years early returns. This past summer you had basically two years worth of turnover due to COVID.

My response is in reference to the GA guy who thinks GA is remotely close to ECNL.

Is that you?

This turnover can be validated by comparing rosters you know.
