[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am confused... McClean BU10 Green plays in CCL (and Sterling does not), but this says this is NCSL.  Does that McClean team play in two different leagues at the same time?  Is this normal???[/quote]

Hmmm.... the YT video says this is McLean Green (their top team), and that team is in CCL, but the NCSL website lists McClean's U10 teams as silver and gold (their third and fourth teams).  Which, if true, explains why Sterling's top team could pick apart McLean's third or fourth team.

What am I missing here?[/quote]

Exactly. Not apples to apples at all[/quote]

OP here.

1.  I don't think it matters whether it's apples to apples or not.  The point of this post was to show parents, many of whom are probably unaware, what the results of good coaching look like.  The Sterling players demonstrate good technical skills and style of play, irrespective of who they are playing against.  This post was not intended to start a pissing match where McLean parents become hot and bothered about whether their first or second team is the opponent here.

2.  Sterling (a tiny club) playing McLean's (supposedly a local powerhouse) top team would most definitely NOT be apples to apples. It should be more like David vs Goliath.

3.  In fact it appears that Sterling 10B Orange and McClean Green do both play in NCSL.  See the NCSL schedule page here: http://www.ncsl-soccer.com/_element_display/#%2F80738%2Fteams%2F98944822%2F92759556-98944952%2FTEAM.html%3Frnd%3D1602098674833.  So this most likely is indeed McLean's top team.  Note that MclLean is not a terrible club with terrible coaches.  They are in fact a large club whose teams are usually competitive at a reasonably high level.  However the gap between McLean's fairly standard US travel soccer style coaches and whoever is coaching Sterling is pretty clear.[/quote]

Sorry - wrong link.  Try this one:  http://www.ncsl-soccer.com/_element_display/#%2F80738%2Fschedules%2FFall2020%2F98944952.html%3Frnd%3D1602099382133[/quote]
