DA vs ECNL vs everything else

If you have DA or ECNL your top team isn't in CCL I. Therefore, they must drop and play in the B league.

Shows you how pathetic it all is.

CCL is a fourth tier league at best and y'all are killing yourselves for it.

Driving 3 -4 hours to play the B team at Beach FC or SOCA.

I'll pass. Just staybhime and play NCSL or EDP (which is way better anyways)

So Arlington's new U13 06 Girls Red Team (previously White Team in CCL II) will stay in CCL II, and not move to CCL I, correct?

This is the question-also true for Loudoun? Is it a league rule or not??

We recently played a girls 06 pipeline team. We easily beat them. So, i am curious which age group you are referring to?

Yeah, the pipeline hype in here is eye brow raising. Cant sleep on their teams but they arent the definitive cream of the crop in the area.
Though their 06 team isnt a juggernaut- the 06 talent and competition in the maryland/baltimore area is stout. Any of the top clubs in the area can win on any given day- dont sleep on the SAC talent either.

Agreed. SAC 06G is always a tough punch out.

SAC 06G is losing many girls to different clubs. I wouldn’t worry about them. This is what happens with SAC on a constant basis. Their teams fall off as kids leave for DA or ECNL clubs. One giant rec type club who has many kids to pick from in the lower age groups and then the teams fall apart when they get older.

Whats your definition of "many".

And I guess thats a good review of the clubs player development leading up to U13/U14 if the talent is there for them to go to DA/ECNL teams, yeah?. (and some selected for the current 06 Spirit team are a total joke so not putting much weight into the current 06 spirit program/team).

This person using the word “joke” to describes young kids is horrible. Do we have another parent here who is jealous their child didn’t make DA / ECNL?

Also I’m not sure if a few kids leaving SAC for ECNL / DA proves that SAC is developing kids? With the player pool they have and enrollment numbers they have at early ages let’s hope 4 or 5 make ECNL / DA. What is proven is SAC constantly falls off at around u13. So in my opinion they aren’t developing anyone but 4 or 5 ringers out of a player pool of 80.

I guess time will tell how much they miss the girls who are leaving from the 06 team.

Don't follow your logic that SAC teams "dropping off" at U13 means they aren't developing players. If every year when things move from 9v9 to 11v11 they lose 6 of the best players (they have developed from U5 you say?) then of course their top U13 team will drop off in the win column. Have you seen U12 soccer? It only takes one good player on each line up the spine of the team to dominate most games. And when you have MD United and Bethesda ECNL programs on both ends and Pipeline (that should have been ECNL years ago) to the north, what do you expect? If the club wasn't seeing any players move to the top leagues as they near 13, then I'd say they weren't very good developers. Maybe SAC chooses to be a strong club within their community and not to chase fake glory of 5 kids per year at the expense of creating 500 who love the game and don't quit when they turn 14. (I'm not a SAC person, this argument can be for any club that sees players 'move on' to better leagues as their reach their teens.) Would Bethesda be bad at player development of every year 5 of their 17 year olds chose to graduate from HS early to go play professionally? And as a result their 18s "dropped off"?

With regard to Pipeline and SAC, you all do realize that those clubs together constitute Baltimore Armour, right?

Just like VDA = PWSI + VSA + VYS, and Richmond United = Richmond Strikers + Richmond Kickers; Baltimore Armour = Pipeline + SAC.

From their website:

"Baltimore Armour is a partnership between Pipeline Soccer Club and Soccer Association of Columbia. This
partnership was formed in 2015 to bring all the top young players in the Baltimore area together with an
environment to learn, grow and compete at the US Soccer Academy level. This club has 4 Executive Board
members represented by SAC and Pipeline directors."

So it's not accurate to categorize either club as an alternative to the DA, or to say that either is "losing" players to the DA. That's the way it's supposed to work. Their structure is designed so that at the DA eligible ages, the best players from Pipeline and SAC will join the Baltimore Armour DA (boys) or Spirit-Armour DA (girls).

Arlington Red (previously white) will remain in CCL, White (previously blue) will be CCLII. Same for Loudoun. McLean was dropped to CCLII because their 2nd teams are not strong enough to be competitive in CCL and therefore they will play in CCLII.

MYS 05s in CCL record is > .500 , that’s not a bad record for a team and I’m sure they would play ok against CCL teams in the future.

I’m not even sure discussing CCL vs CCLII is a strong discussion after looking up the last outcome of the current CCL top team vs a non-CCL team at that age group in the state tournament finals.

Actually the truth of the matter is the majority of 06 players are staying put in McLean to play ECNL. They did have several 05’s leave for other clubs, mostly DA.

Several? I’ve seen that word used a bit so just to give an actual number. There were 17 (16 if you don’t count the dual card player who moved up, deservingly so) on that 05 squad, 8 left for DA.

Sounds like several. Why so many? All bench players not happy with playing time?

I do not know him, but the turnover in Mclean is always happening with coaches and not surprised at your reaction. If your DD is in one of those age groups you will also be playing in NCSL next year, as the club lost CCL1 status, unlike Loudoun and Arlington. If you look and see what happened at the ECNL tryouts, my advice would have been to run, not walk. It sounds like you already accepted though. Good luck.

LOL not even close to "bench players" leaving in the 05 ECNL team - mostly starters and other impact players. And the 8 number was just ECNL. The PP was talking about McLean's second team at 05 & 06. If you include the green team, the number is closer to 16 or 17 kids leaving Mclean's 05 pool.
