[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I don't even care about being on a team that wins the league or whatever. I just don't want to put my kid on a team that goes 0-20 for the year. I'm in Maryland and heard the northern VA teams are dominant. So if my put my kid on Potomac or PPA or MSI (the 3 MD teams I see registered in top division in spring 2025) in NCSL, is it going to be a 10-0 loss every weekend? I'm an NOT trying to get on "the best" team. I agree with prior poster that 100% agree that the important thing is learning how to play. But getting clobbered nonstop also isn't fun and I don't want my girl to quit on it. [/quote]

My experience is that NOVA teams are good and they are big at the younger ages.  Maryland teams tend to be smaller. But that's only for a few years, until around u13 when some boys start growing.  Things even out by U15 or U16.

If you want to be on a good team, generally potomac and Bethesda will have good players. You will be placed with kids similar to your kid's talent.[/quote]

What a weird thing to say. Are you for real? Virginia kids are larger than kids born a few miles away?[/quote]

The fact that you don't understand this tells me you're probably an NFL person. The point they are making is that the MD teams are rostering kids based on skills and projected development for the long run and Virginia clubs are adopting the win now philosophy. SYC without a doubt finds the biggest fastest kids they can. Their 14 year olds are bigger than the average male adult. It's everything that's wrong with youth soccer in the U.S.[/quote]
