[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go with ncsl.  So many more teams and competition.   Furthest games are out in Shenandoah or southern MD.  Pretty rare.  You can see schedules on ncsl site so you can get an idea.[/quote]

Can anyone imagine this bring reality 5 years ago?  It shows the soccer landscape is constantly changing and your A team a few years ago for a club is considered C team by today's standards.[/quote]

Nobody who knows what they are doing is judging any team based on club rep. There is wide variability even across A teams and across genders. Where their U9-12 teams are playing is completely irrelevant, and always has been. It would be nice to have a single, central league for U9-10 teams where the top teams could play each other a little more consistently to avoid the blowouts you see at those ages. [/quote]

NCSL seems to have consolidated all of the top teams, at least locally in northern VA, at the U9-10 age groups. The issue is that there is a wide gap between the top 3-4 teams and everyone else resulting in blowouts even within the top subset of the first tier group. The best MD teams should be included to create a schedule that doesn’t have a ton of blowouts. Since NCSL moves teams up and down after the Fall according to results, they wouldn’t have to be the same clubs every year allowing for the best possible matchups accounting for the varying levels of success within a club from one age group to the next. Every club should play in NCSL in the younger ages. [/quote]
