NCSL SuperGroup?

[Anonymous]

Arlington did not leave CCL for this. They are supplementing their CCL schedule with this for additional games. its an add on, nothing more nothing less. Alexandria is CCL and is doing the same thing for some of their age groups.
This allows for less travel than say EDP for VA teams. This is much more local versus EDP and teams can get more spring games in especially if they front end loaded their CCL schedule to be heavier in the Fall and lighter in the spring. This is not uncommon as VA has high school soccer for public schools in the spring so clubs may choose to play most of their CCL games in the fall with only a fewer amount in the Spring when kids have more conflicts due to High School.

Did they only add "Super Group" games or did they just "join" NCSL and will play Non-Super Group games in NCSL D1 as well? Thanks

I’d guess they would just add the super group games, not D1.

NCSL Supergroup is add on games for a club that does CCL for instance. If a team is CCL they dont have to become NCSL Div 1 to play in NCSL Supergroup. In the case of Arlington or Alexandria they are not moving their CCL teams to NCSL just playing add on games in SuperGroup nothing more. Dont over think it. its just more games, thats it

There was an NCSL call last night. I joined late and they mentoined this - not sure how it'll materliaze for this season.

Based on the schedule posted so far, they are struggling to form groups for older age teams. Some teams are listed twice in two different age groups.

Any other teams joining this supergroup for 2008 Girls. WIth CCL having so few teams in the 08 Girls age group (only 8 teams total), our club is going to do the supergroup to get more games for the spring. Sad what has happened to CCL but I figure if things continue down this route- CCL for older than u12 could be history.

NPL? You're kidding - right?

On the girls side, there are not many elite teams left if any in NCSL. That is why most elite teams leave after u13? The competition is not there. If you look at any of the top brackets at any of the elite tournaments, including Bethesda, WAGS, Discovery, Jefferson, OBGC, etc, you will not find any NCSL teams and only a few CCL teams at u14 or higher. I can understand creating a pathway for CCL but not NCSL. Talk about diluting the field.

Totally different on the boys' side. All the elite teams are in NCSL.

Why are you answering post from 2019/20. For some teams,, the league landscape was completely different.
