[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CCL is a clubcentric league, meaning that when one club plays another club all of the age groups participate on the same day at the same location.  The thinking is that this allows the TD and other club staff to attend and watch all of their teams play to allow for player and coach evaluations.

McLean used to have their A teams in CCL1 and their B teams in CCL2.  When they played Arlington for example, all of their age groups would play Arlington's teams.  When McLean moved their U13 and above A teams to ECNL, this would not allow the clubcentric model to work.  If McLean's U9-U12 teams played Arlington, then Arlington's U13-U19 teams would all have a bye and receive a forfeit.  That is why McLean needed to move their U12 and younger teams to another league.

I believe that the movement out of CCL1 was concurrent across the age groups, but not necessarily by gender.  The boys are in their 2nd year in ECNL, while the girls teams have been in ECNL longer.[/quote]

Arlingtons u12 girls second team is out of the CCL2 as of this spring. Looking for better competition and games. I have heard other age groups have or will follow. CCL2 u12 and under just does not have enough teams to play a full schedule. I wonder if arlington’s first team will stay now that the clubcentric model is breaking down for the club. I know there was a lot of talk about lack of competitive CCL games hurting the team/club in tournaments. If Arlington pulls out will Loudoun follow? [/quote]

That makes complete sense. The U11 Arlington  white team on the boys side is probably as good as the red team and cannot get a good game in ccl2.  We are in CCL but have played in NCSL as well. It has been about the same. Very uneven for a top team. Of course, it becomes even more uneven when clubs leave the league, but I can understand why individual teams might. I think free agency is a pretty good idea for clubs, teams and players. Or a single league with relegation.[/quote]
