[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that the top teams get that way by collecting top players from other clubs.  That mostly happens with ECNL and GA starting at U13.  At the older ages VYS girls are right outside that top tier and somewhere between 5-10 in the region.

At the younger ages U12 and below, VYS girls can play with anyone and have generally had better results than Great Falls, FCV, SYC, PWSI, SYA, and BRYC.  They aren't a huge club, so I think that says good things about their programming and development, or maybe about their ulittles rec league.  Younger girls are probably #4-5 in the region as a group.

To let everyone know - usually once teams become ECNL they stop doing tournaments. Teams don't earn "points" playing in ECNL games but teams that play in VPL (like Vienna) continue to earn points for regular league games as well as tournaments. Ranking reflect the number of points teams achieve and you can only get these points playing in tournaments or by playing in a league that lists games in gotsoccer and gives points for those games as well. For example the WAGS tournament have zero ECNL teams participating and only one GA team. Point being that above the U12 age rankings only really give you a picture of the strength of teams outside of the ECNL and GA teams. I would also like to add that the Richmond Strikers and VSA teams are not the same anymore. The top Richmond players have moved onto the Richmond United ECNL team which doesn't exist until U13. Same for VSA. VDA ECNL starts at U13 and is made up of top girls from VSA and PWSI. So neither of these teams is even listed in rankings and may never be if they don't do any tournaments.[/quote]

Youthsoccerrankings.us use all available scores and competitions, so they are a much better reflection than gotsoccer.  It looks like that's what the above posters were using.

2008 rankings are the only screwy age group right now since those don't include ecnl/ga clubs yet.  VSA and Strikers are still ranked highly, but those will be replaced with United and VDA at some point.  FCV should jump too since their 2008 team wasn't ranked highly before this year.  VYS still top 10 it looks like, but behind GA and ECNL teams at U13 and older and definitely behind a few of the bigger clubs at younger ages.[/quote]
