It is not a strong team. They haven't won a game yet this year.

OP, you should look at the top half of the top teams in EDP/NL -- and call them (but avoid Calvert because they are monsters-- truly terrible people). Here's the list:

They aren’t.

PPA is moco/dc
Potomac is moco
Frederick is … Frederick
Calvert is Calvert County

Moco and dc players often play for Arlington/Bethesda/Union (McLean) so there is a lot of competition in the metro area. In Baltimore you have Baltimore Armour (GA) and Maryland United (very weak ECNL).

Because premier 1 usys is considered 2nd league. 1st league would be ecnl where stronger girls teams play. It's like having mls next for boys, and then having usys/edp premier 1 (which are 2nd level teams or clubs that do not have mls next).

I think that’s sort of true. As a parent of one of the players on the top teams on this list, I’d say that this bracket is like ECNL 1.5. We get beaten by many Ecnl teams but beat the bottom of the Ecnl teams routinely. And crush the ECNL RL teams. So like a half step below Ecnl.

There are fewer GA teams (Armour/Keystone— who else locally?) so can’t speak to experience vs them.

And to add on, most moco girls are going to closer clubs who have ecnl and ecnl rl (i.e. bethesda) Not Baltimore clubs.
