My rising U12 daughter has an offer from BSC for its U12 White EDP (4th team out of 4 teams) and an offer from PSA for its Premier II U12 NCSL (2nd team out of 2 teams). Of the two, which does she have a better chance of getting good development from so that she is competitive for a U13 ECNL team the following year?

Can someone please explain the different team levels in the YDP U8-U11. We are new to travel soccer and do not understand what the different levels mean. For example, for U9 there are four levels: ECNL I, ECNL II, Pre ECNL and Blue. I presume that ECNL I is the top team and ECNL II is the second top team? Is that accurate? So does that mean Pre-ECNL is third team and Blue are the bottom teams? Is there a difference in skill level with who made Pre-ECNL and Blue? Also, is there more than one team per level? Meaning, are there a couple of teams for the same age in ECNL I? Also, are the top teams typically made up of girls who have played with Bethesda before and the Pre-ECNL and Blue teams mostly new girls? During tryouts the coaches told the girls that there is a place for everyone. This gave me the impression that the tryouts were just to place people on appropriate skill level teams. Given that, I am just trying to get a realistic idea of where my daughter's skill level is. Thanks.
