[quote=Anonymous]The original "Travel Soccer teams around NOVA let's discuss" thread has a lot of good information.  It is 524 pages and a lot of it is arguing about stupid stuff and pissing matches, but there is also a lot of good info about soccer in the area.  Page 227 has a good summary of what the different colors of teams means.  Some of it might be slightly dated, but is still mostly good info.  I doubt many people would read all 524 pages, but skimming through some of the posts, might be useful.  There is also a part II, but that is almost 100% arguing about stupid stuff.

For leagues on the boys side, the Development Academy (DA) is the clear cut top league.  After that there are CCL and NPL, which are both a group of clubs who put their top teams in that league.  Then there is NCSL, which unlike the other leagues, has relegation, so if your team is in Division 1 and maybe 2, you are probably equal to or better than several (but probably not all) of the teams in CCL or NPL.  In Virginia, there is ODSL, which is mostly clubs bottom teams, but there are a couple small clubs that put ok teams in this league.  For girls, there is also a league ECNL which right now is about equivalent to the DA.  Girls DA is new and only time will tell if it replaces ECNL as the top league (there is a whole thread with 42 pages dedicated to stupid arguing about this).  The rest that is said about the boys applies to the girls.[/quote]
