[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the leagues are fairly equal dont buy into the BS. There are quite a few boys NCSL Division 1 teams that will consistently beat local ECNL teams. A few ODSL teams that joined NCSL for the fall actually held their own. CCL falls right in line with all the other leagues. Focus on where your child will develop as an individual player the most. Find the best fit for her I promise you The league differences aren't that big of a difference.[/quote]

Sorry but this isn't true.  The leagues are not fairly equal.  The best CCL teams are good and would doubtless beat some ECNL teams as would the best NPL/EDP teams beat some CCL teams and the best NCSL teams would beat some NPL/EDP teams.  But there no NCSL division 1 teams that would stand a chance of beating most of the ECNL teams, and very few that would beat even the worst ECNL team on a consistent basis.[/quote]

I promise you the U14 teams in the NCSL D1 BAC united , Alexandria, and PAC ac. can all beat both BRYC and Mclean u14 ECNL teams consistently. Ive watched all 5 teams play multiple times over the past 2 years. I have also coached U-9 thru U17 boys soccer for over 15 years and hold a B License. Parents on message boards drink the Kool Aid and want to believe where their child plays is better than the next. Honestly some of the kids in the local Bolivian league are far better than any local or national league area players. The player pools are so big area wide it kinda evens the leagues out. The bigger clubs will never admit this but thats their selling points.

1.  You're picking the two worst ECNL clubs in an age group where they both have bad teams even by their own standards.

2.  Even then I'm not sure I agree with your assertion the clubs you name can beat them consistently.  If you were talking about Alexandria Red I would agree - but Alexandria Red plays in CCL - it's Alexandria's second team playing in NCSL.  McLean's third team plays in NCSL division 1 and the results against the teams you mention were as follows:

Lost 2-1 to Alexandria White
Lost 3-0 to PAC
Lost 6-0 to BAC.

Those are scarcely results that indicate that those teams would consitently beat even McLean's second team, let alone its first team.[/quote]

Where is mclean’s second team in this age group playing?  Are you certain that White 07 is not the second team in this group?  I don’t see any games for McLean Green at that age. [/quote]
