And then there are "NCSL-only/NCSL-heavy" clubs like FPYC that only field one team per age group (OK, there a handful of exceptions where the club actually fields two or even three teams in a specific age group).  While I can't speak for all teams in the club, I want to believe my DD's team is on the decent/strong side for this U11 year.  However, we've only been scheduled against the second/third teams of larger clubs like Loudoun, SAC, and McLean.  For now, we really just have to wait another season or three for the promotion/relegation process to place us in the most appropriate division.  (The girls may get to see how good they can be @ WAGS this weekend, going up against Barca Academy Red, Arlington White, and a western PA squad.)

I don't think there are any serious plans for FPYC to move wholesale to CCL or NPL/VPL, etc., regardless of how competitive some of its teams might be.  Our particular coach may have started looking at EDP just for my DD's team, but even that decision may not be made any time soon.  From what I think I understand, EDP could be this team's lone option for moving up (beyond NCSL, that is).  I can see a few other "small-but-competitive" clubs finding themselves in the same situation.[/quote]

Are the 08 girls regularly trouncing the opposition?  When they start pro/rel it eventually works itself out.  My kid is on FPYC's 05 boys Blue team.  They started pro/rel in Division 5 and over the past five seasons have methodically moved up the ladder to Division 1.  But there are lots of teams that were misplaced in the beginning, one way or the other, and our team has never dominated its division at any point.  I think (hope) that the league is slowly realizing that the teams from clubs like Cerritos and Barca compare favorably to the B and C teams from Arlington and McLean, etc.  Last season Alexandria's B team was in our Division (D2) and saved itself from relegation only by bringing in a few ringers from the A team for a crucial game.[/quote]
