[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BSC is very strong on the both the girls and boys sides but they are not the best in the nation or even the best in the DMV. There are several DMV clubs that are stronger on the girls side. Pipeline, McLean and FCV are comparable to and in some cases better than BSC. I don't want to take away anything from BSC but there are several good options. McLean is just over the bridge and Clyde Watson is recognized as a strong coach.  [/quote]

With the usual caveats that there is no good way to rank area teams, I think most people agree that youthsoccerrankings.com does the best job.  According to that site, here are the top MD and VA teams for the ECNL/DA age groups (by their ranking in Region 1, which includes VA, WV, MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH and ME).  Note that I only included teams in MD and VA that were in the top 40 in Region 1.  If an area team is not listed in an age group, then it is not ranked in the top 40 in that age group.

Lastly, to be fair to Loudoun, this was the first year that they had ECNL status.  As a result, most of the girls who would have played ECNL or DA left for other clubs in the DMV area (usually FCV or McLean).  As a result, their rankings are lower than they likely will be in future years beginning with the 2007s.
