I don't know if there is really any need for teams in that age range to cross the Potomac or the Rappahannock Rivers (or even the Occoquan). EDP in Maryland seems to be a model worth repeating. Maybe the disparate leagues can offer a niche at U13 and older.

Definitely +1 whether it is for VA only EDP or top VA teams playing in EDP. CCL and NCSL have diluted talent pool for NOVA kids before U-12 - definitely see it on the boys side. The competition is extremely uneven. And there are second teams relegated to CCL II who should play other top teams.

So what clubs in Va are in the EPD now? There website is under construction. I can see people getting upset paying for a full slate of games and getting 1/2. Any u12 parents should really be upset... less games for players hoping for DA/ENCL slot.

I think the only VA clubs in boys EDP are the pre-DA/ECNL at U12, which includes Richmond, Arlington and Loudoun and the MD/PA teams SAC, Bethesda, PA Classics.

SYC might have a team or two in other divisions.

I heard Loudoun may have pulled out of CCLII.

CCL is also having problems with scheduling games. I really wish the parents would step up and demand the clubs join a league with at least 8 leagues games a season. This is not hard in this area. We are looking at 5 for the fall with one way down south. WTf. Time to end the CCL.

It seems like CCL and NCSL just have to merge at this point.

Down with CCL! Parents don't like it, coaches don't or are indifferent. Its the TD's and CCL that stand to benefit. What kind of league mandates their players to wear CCL sponsored practice jerseys once a week. I hope CCL folds this year. Enough is enough

Poor baby, your kid get cut from a ccl team? Give me a break, you are complaining about a shirt? What about all the clubs having to sport sponsors on their jersey but yet the player or families get zero incentives. Also, it's not mandated you moron it was a way to alleviate the cost of buying another training shirt since they had to get this for league games anyways. Get the facts straight.

Why are you so hostile and defensive. CCL lining your pockets? My complaints is that CCL is now what it made itself out to be. Has a horrible record of canceling games last minute, teams dropping because they see CCL for what it is.

Yest the kids MUST wear their CCL sponsored practice jersey to at least one practice a week. Our club already has its own regular practice kits, so NO it does not alleviate the cost of buying another training shirt. Not sure how that is not clear. My facts are facts given that MY DC is on a CCL team. Keep on trolling CCL fanatic. Parents are getting weary of CCL by the minute. Deal with it

Since when does CCL cancel games? That’s the clubs job to schedule and deconflict their coaches

Seriously there are only three clubs that matter in the CCL and that’s under u12. So I would not stick my chest out and talk about being cut from a CCL club. Watching the other teams that play in the CCL, it would be surprising if there were cuts.
