[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean U11 and U12 (boys and girls) teams were kicked out of CCL. Rumor is it was because at the U13 age all of the top McLean team go to ECNL while other clubs keep their top teams in CCL. This is obviously not the case because Arlington and Loudoun both switch to either DA or ECNL too. The U11 and U12 top (green) girls teams crushed all or almost all of the NCSL teams they played this past fall. Not good for either the McLean players or for the teams the play. Bad for development to only have competitive games in tournaments. I think the U11 and U12 boys teams may have had more competitive matches in NCSL because their teams are not as strong. These teams that were once amongst the stronger ones in their age groups will enter ECNL at a huge disadvantage.[/quote]

So, what has happened? Why the decline on the boys side? I think the U11 Green boys lost most of their games in NCSL (so it can't really be argued that NCSL won't prepare them for next year). [/quote]

U11/12 had club related issues (including a shared coach who was ousted)  which was more the driver of NCSL performance. This was not league related.

Mys had to pull their u-11 and 12 boys out of ccl when they chose the ECNL boys route that became avaiable last year (for U-13). If they had decided against ECNL for boys they likely would have stayed in ccl for younger groups and ccl would have allowed it as their record was fine.[/quote]

There was no significant difference last season in the level of competition between CCL and NCSL for McLean boys U1U11/12. Don't worry about stuff that doesn't matter.

At least NCSL is doing pro/rel now as an incentive to improve. [/quote]

There are few circumstances in life that can lead to more crazy adult behavior than a U11/U12 NCSL relegation match.[/quote]
