Nobody is saying they believe they are just as good. Okay. Maybe some of the true believer zealot parents of VRSC think they are just as good.
However, one way to look at it is scrimmaging against a team that is a little better than you is good for the team. Scrimmaging against a team that is a lot worse, or will blow your doors off every time doesn't usually do a whole lot for the team.
You might call me a zealot, because I believe in the long-term vision at VRSC and their ability to execute against that vision because of the resources they have in place (first money, then a home complex, then quality coaches, and now national league platforms for both boys and girls). But I’ve been very clear in all of my posts that, as you would expect, they are still light years behind local ECNL teams in terms of talent. I agree with the PP about the lack of value in having teams at significantly different skill levels playing against each other. To me, this suggests at least some of the VRSC GA teams are somewhat better than I thought, otherwise BP would not scrimmage against them.
