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]

You just can't know if that squad is EDP ready until you start beating good teams at tourneys. Then yes, I think EDP is your best option. CCL and VPL/NPL are very hit or miss from my experience. Our FPYC team regularly beats those teams at tournaments. Plus, EDP makes it easy for one-off teams to join (vs CCL, which requires your entire club and requires a team at every age group). [/quote]
