Maryland U. offered decent competition usually. E. City was horrible and a longer drive. CCL just gets worse and worse. It just needs to implode.

Yep. The advent of ECNL on boys side and DA on girls side is doing to CCL what CCL did to NCSL and WAGS. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

How many years you think? Who's going to exit next? Interesting to see. Wonder if some of the bigger clubs are thinking ahead. Create a NOVA only CCL?

Or a NoVa plus MoCo. That would be nice.

It would address the many complaints about travel and lack of competition. The format could be the same and more local clubs willing to commit to their better teams.

Wait, I thought the best idea was to not even have leagues and just scrimmage your neighbor.

Not sure how much stock I'd put in any consensus among the small number of us who regularly post on this thread.

Off topic, but how many regulars do people think there are here? My guess would be 12-15 max.

No, that only works if you are kicking a duct tape ball in dirt with neighbors ranging from 3 to 60 years old.

Let the douchey parents that like to sit around the water cooler bragging about little Jimmy's prowess and medals take it to the other Clubs. This takes the wind out of the sails of a lot of the jerks that come in and ruin Clubs by their focus on recruiting and winning with young kids.

Could not agree more! My son is just as happy after a great training session or a pickup game where he scored twice as he is driving two hours to a win an NCSl game in Md. I love this no-league model U9-U-12!

Through U10 or maybe U12.

Plenty! I think you've missed the point.

All these local ccl U-Littles can just go out there and train with the BRYC team any time they want to check out the difference between what BRYC is doing and what goes on on their own overpacked fields without enough lights.

...so the ccl anti-recruiting rules don't apply and this spring any ccl younger player can go train with braddock's ccl teams without being blocked from joining the club in the fall for 18-19 season...will anything be different in the philosophy / trype of training in spring vs. coming fall?

meant 17-18 season

Why would anything change? BRYC has had a consistent training philosophy for years, and the same people will be in charge.

UK Elite tryout tomorrow at Fairfax HS.....anyone have any past experience?

Once Arlington and Loudoun go it will definitely lose any last bit of "elite" status. It will probably remain a relevant league in Virginia for mid tier clubs, especially those in far off areas with no other competition.
