[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CCL 1 is like NCSL Division 2 or 3 or EDP Division 3 or 4. CCL 2 is around NCSL 4 and 5, and all the other divisions of EDP. NCSL Division 1 is probably around EDP Division 2 or 3. EDP Division 1 and 2 are elite. They will beat most NCSL and CCL teams every time. EDP Division one is very very good. It’s disrespectful to say a ccl or NCSL team is better than them. They are elite. [/quote]

I have kids in both CCL and NCSL Division 1. Before teams leave NCSL, maybe especially U12, Division 1 is very strong! It is true that a couple of the strongest NCSL teams like Herndon and Alexandria pulled out of NCSL just a couple of years ago but there are still very strong teams who then often to to EDP or VPL or ECNL and so on. Once all those teams leave, though, NCSL is just not as strong.

I find the strongest teams in CCL 1 to be more competitive than the strongest NCSL teams, but the bulk of them are not, and there are far more weak teams because they don't relegate. There are definitely CCL 1 teams that would be in NCSL 2, 3, or 4.

You really need promotion and relegation, or some kind of team by team approval process, to keep a division somewhat level. I personally think that the idea of CCL is flawed. [/quote]

I forgot to say that of course CCL also goes downhill once the teams go to NCSL and not just because the teams leave--but also because kids move around, especially in the DC area, and the stronger teams become stronger and the strongish teams become much weaker.[/quote]
