CCL is where it's at for the Years that count

Not anymore, my friend. The new Development Academy teams at the three top CCL clubs took the best players. CCL now gets 2nd tier.

NCSL is more competitive since it allows talent from smaller clubs and boutiques.

NCSL is less competitive than CCL above U13. That is just a fact. Look at how many CCL teams win state cups vs. NCSL/WAGS above U13 when they play on full size fields. No comparison at all.

Of course the small handful of DA Boys/Girls and ECNL teams are generally more competitive than CCL. That is to be expected when comparing 3 high-quality teams against a league of 16 clubs with teams of varying strength.

A division 1 NCSL team will beat one of the lesser CCL teams. CCL talent levels are very variable.

Agreed. Generally only the weak CCL teams will be beaten by an NCSL Division 1 team above age U13. [/quote
Hahha what? Above U15 CCL is the strongest there is

California's similar.

Connecticut is similar. As is a lot of NY/Jersey.

Some of us are female. I hate the term "soccer mom". It belies the fact that there are many of us that played at a higher level than many of the dads (and coaches!).

Women's soccer in HS and college is Title IX charity. It's slow and boring. It exists to balance mens football, basketball, and other money sports. If it wasn't legally mandated it would not exist.

Whatever, fat soccer dad.

Yes. Lots of relatives in those places. A very similar scene is described when we compare notes.

Texas is worse, meaning more psycho in terms of intensity at a very young age.

This is true. My kid's team will be undefeated here, and then go to a tournament and get blown away by NY & NJ teams. Has been happening every year.

Classic DCUM - even in our dysfunction, we're better than anyplace else.

Wow, what a rousing defense of women's soccer.

As they will play 9-9 and as they have two games scheduled every week-end against another DA club, it seems that they will have 2 U12 DA teams.
Is it indeed the case? If so, there should be room both for players from last year first U11 team and some "outsiders".

They picked the kids they wanted, move on.

In terms of sheer chaos, we might lead. But other regions have DA, ECNL, Super Y, recreational, various indoor programs, possibly a U.S. Club Soccer league (like VPL).

What I'm not sure is whether other regions have a split like CCL, NCSL/WAGS, ODSL, YDL and EDP.

And you forgot to include TOPS soccer as well. Just awful that there are options for all kids.
