Thanks!
What's the name of the app?
I've searched "soccer rankings" on the Play Store but nothing really seems relevant.

Schedules are now also available.

Although from what I understand it's really up to the clubs themselves to do the scheduling so this is just a rough draft.

Same URL but new design. Very fancy. 
Some of the brackets don't make sense. Just looking at the teams in son's age group I see:
- 2 teams that were a division below us are now a division above us. And we actually moved up 2 divisions, so those 2 teams moved up 4(!) divisions.
- A team who beat home and away in the spring are now in a division above us.
- A team that finished 1st in Premier 4 are now in Premier 6.
Just a few examples I noticed, I'm sure there are a ton more.

Looks like they're out.

Looks like they've done away with the Championship divisions. Now everyone is premier!
And South Atlantic National League brackets are here

Great news!
MSI Classic might be an option.

If you're not familiar with it MSI is a huge intro level club/league in Montgomery County. At older ages they offer rec, travel, and "classic" league which I think is kind of a "rec plus" level.

Just curious what you mean by a "weaker offer". Does that mean, for example, he's currently on a club's B team but is being offered a spot on the new club's C team?C3PO wrote:However, his tryout at the club where he wanted to be (and where more friends from his current school play) resulted in a weaker offer than where he's currently at.
Random question.
Does anyone know why Virginia high school soccer is in the spring while Maryland and DC play in the fall?

How did the big vote go?

Bridge teams are BRYC travel teams created by and led by volunteer coaches (i.e. parents). They mostly used to play in ODSL until that folded and now they all play in NCSL Bridge teams within the same age group compete for players and have no unified coaching philosophy or training or style of play. But, they have historically have had the pipeline into the BRYC rec program because the bridge coaches largely were rec coaches who took top players from rec to start travel teams. Bridge teams think of themselves as part of the rec program for the most part and the rec program definitely claims the bridge teams and their coaches and players as their own. Because they are volunteer led, their costs are significantly cheaper as a travel option--significantly cheaper than any travel option in the DMV. They have several great players at each age group but those could be spread out among bridge teams and of course not part of the academy.
The academy has paid coaches, and their prices are competitive with the other travel clubs in the area. They use a player pool system also similar to most other clubs in the area that field multiple teams across age groups. They have almost no pipeline into the rec program, however, and therefore often are looking at scraps from the rec program by the time they do get a look at them--leftovers of players who perhaps weren't good enough to go travel with a bridge team early on, or weren't interested at the time. Therefore BRYC as a club pretty much never has a team that fields their top players (across bridge and the academy) within any age group. Ever. And you can see the results.

Thanks for the response. Very helpful. It almost sounds like 2 separate clubs that share the same name.
What exactly are the "bridge" teams you all are talking about?
The ref was a no-show at my son's U12 game on Saturday. Somehow I got voluntold to ref. A few thoughts.
- Being a ref is really hard. You've got to pay attention to everything happening on the field all at once. You can't really tune out at all.
- It's the best seat in the house. So cool to be right in the middle of the action.
- Every parent should have a turn, at least running the lines. Gives you more perspective and (hopefully) a little more empathy for the person in the middle.
