VA teams standings in the MA conf (#1-#5):

U13: RU, VDA, Loudoun, McLean, BRYC
U14: Loudoun, McLean, RU, VDA, BRYC
U15: VDA, RU, McLean, BRYC, Loudoun
U16: RU, McLean, Loudoun, VDA, BRYC
U17: RU, McLean, Loudoun, VDA, BRYC
U18: McLean, BRYC, RU, VDA, Loudoun

Avg:
RU: 1.83
McLean: 2.33
VDA: 3.16
Loudoun: 3.33
BRYC: 4.33

McLean on a downward diagonal trend. Interesting

No S Sherlock. It's been that way for years, McLean teams get better with age. #dosomeresearch

Why is that?

See above. McLean is a club that attracts players. They continue to make the rosters better as time goes on.

While it is true that success attracts good players, it is impossible to grow competitive teams at U17 and U18 without internal development. These days it's probably 30% addition, and 70% development. Years back, it was probably more even when they were a "destination" club.

Congrats on a crappy covid season where a quarter of the games have been played, practice schedules interrupted, Bethesda kids fleeing to Mclean because they can't play in Montgomery County. So on and so forth. This season doesn't mimic anything similar to a ECNL season.

But hey....whatever

Well, 06 VDA whooping McLean over the years 5w 1t, but hey, whatever. McLean getting better (lost last time 3-0)

06's are still on the young of the scale we're talking about champ.

Yawn. "Covid shortened" season is a beautiful way to put salve on your panic. LULZ

VDA 06 parents need to chill out and stop beating your chests so much. You’ve had a very good team at the young ages but McLean is still the top dog at the oldest ages until someone knocks them off at U17 and U19. That is what winning a national title, getting to the finals a year later and going 20-0 in the league last year gets you.

What happens to the McLean players when they get to 17-19. How many are replaced?

Come on, man. Hypocrisy at its best

What happens is that McLean usually beats other NOVA teams at the oldest ages

McLean will never look this good again. And will never win an ECNL mid-Atlantic division in any age group ever again. Keep this for posterity. If it happens you can re-post, but it won’t.
