MC Elite 2025’s had COVID issues and had to forfeit both games. Forfeit score is an automatic 1-10 loss for both games.

Yeah, I knew there was a forfeit... Just curious as to why. Sucks to end the season on that note.

Next Level 2028 is playing in the B Division of NGLL and is currently 8-0. Playoffs start Saturday.

Probably not a popular option, nor something a business of BLC would consider, but I think MC, NL and Stars would all benefit from BLC sending the talent there. NL is clearly good based on the 8-0 record, but having watched them play, I think they would have faired similarly to BLC in the A bracket. And BLC would have done very well in the B bracket. There isn't enough talent to have that many teams and expect to be competivie with the top programs. All of those teams are a few players away from being very strong A bracket teams.

NL 27s, 28s and 29s all finished first in NGLL B.

I honestly disagree with this. The top teams in A are just at another level and very few, if any, kids that currently play for any of these clubs would make those teams. So even if you somehow were able to take the best girls from all of these teams and form one super team, that team would still not be able to compete with Hero’s Green or M&D. I am not sure what is going on with the BLC 27’s, but they are certainly the exception.

The top 4 teams in the B division, should play the bottom 4 in the A division for playoffs instead of playing eachother again. That would give them a better litmus test of where they belong next season

They should have relegation like in european soccer.

Otherwise, probably should just create 3 divisions and make A smaller.

That's fine to disagree but have you watched or seen the talent on the programs mentioned? Probably not based on some of the comments. The top girls on those programs would definitely make the top MD programs. Would some not be the #1 player? Maybe not, but the top talent on NL and Stars would certainly have no issues after watching them all first hand. The 2028 NL middles are strong and the strength of that team.

Agree with that PP, the BLC teams are not competitive and would make NL and Stars and MCE even better instead of what is currently going on.

What is incredibly frustrating is that most if not all of these strong players at BLC, NL, etc (some even went to Hero's, Pride, Rebels) all started at MC Elite. The disfunction there led to the scattering of everyone all over. Terrible that they had the talent but couldn't run an organization that people wanted to stay in. Now we are all dealing with the fallout.

As a NL parent, it is nice to read about the other NL teams’ improvements and to see it on my daughter’s team, but what is also very important and I fear gets overshadowed is that the girls seem to be having a blast playing on this team and enjoy their coaches. Hopefully NL can keep the girls together and add more talent and have a stronger girls program in HS.

I think you need to check some of those scores from fall tournaments, I mean the NL 27 team lost to a top MD 28 team.

There's a huge back in B leagues vs A Leagues. Are there a few that could make an A club team? Yeah. But not many. You may have 1-2 kids in the DMV make a Hero's Green or M&D, and I would venture all of them are coming from another A club team.

This is not true for NL. Not in the slightest.
