This may come as a huge shock to you, but there is actually a whole world out there that doesn't revolve around your DD.

Maybe next time think about naming this thread "DMV Preseason Rankings For 03 Girls".

Thanks and have a Blessed day.

That is a good point. But as the subsequent poster said, lets get some other age group rankings.

How about 01/02?

04?
06?
07?

I was just throwing it out there because daughter is 03 and hoped others would contribute the other age groups. Why so mad?

Girls ECNL/DA 05:
1 FCV DA, #2 isn't close
2 Arlington DA
3 VDA ECNL
4 MU DA (even with the win over VDA)
5 Bethesda ECNL
6 McLean ECNL
6 BRYC (this team will be better next season)
7 Loudoun ECNL (lower level additions for next year won't help much especially with the loss of players. They just won't be competitive)

Any list that does not include Pipeline or leaves McLean out of the top 3 has no credibility. Why is the Spirit included? Bethesda should rank much higher given that it brought over MRM Rush. outside of McLean and FCV, no serious tournament organizer would put any of the teams in the same bracket as MRM Rush.

1) Bethesda: Saw a kid in a sandbox kicking around a ball...looked pretty solid.
2) Arlington: Heard a parent at the pediatrician asking for growth hormones for their kid...gotta respect that determination.
3) McLean: Lots of bog houses and disposable income. That bodes well.

Tournament organizers use gotsoccer. Who cares? Agree that McLean and Bethesda (mrm coach and players coming in and are already playing scrimmages together) should be ahead of metro.

We haven't been including the Baltimore area teams (Spirit Baltimore Armour, SAC, Pipeline). I suppose the Rush could be added to the list...i'd put them around the MU DA level.

No way McLean is in the top 3. Just no way. They played VDA once and lost. VDA and MU are very close. You could argue swapping Bethesda and McLean on the list, but it is close.

McLean and vda tied once and vda won once. The teams are pretty evenly matched. MU is not close to either.

I also have an 05 and any list that does not include Pipeline, which is one of the top teams in the nation, is not a serious list. I have watched Pipeline destroy local ECNL teams. I don't know if other age groups have non-ECNL/DA teams that dominate. If they do, those teams should be included.

Because, presumably their best players are on Spirit MD considering the club affiliations.

It also goes to show that, in the end perception is reality and unless you are DA or ECNL nobody cares about the unicorn teams playing against B and C team competition.

I wouldn't say they have destroyed ECNL teams. They beat McLean 2-1 (McLean is in 2nd place in the MA Conference in ECNL) yet they tied Loudoun's ECNL 1-1 (Loudoun is currently in last place in their division with a 1-15-4 record). Just as local examples. But only getting a tie against Loudoun is the furthest thing from "DESTROYING" ECNL teams as you can get.

Is it worth vda 05 even going to Champion’s League? They drew 2 of the top 20 teams in “youth soccer rankings USA” and can’t even get by Washington spirit. Save your money and stay home.

VDA is going to take a beating against those 2 top teams. Welcome to the big leagues!

Pipeline has some quality players, but saying the are a top team in the nation is a little overboard.

The won EDP, {clap clap}.
