[quote=Anonymous]I think at u16 and up, you really need to look at the particulars of the teams to see if it fits what you are looking for. Gunston’s 2005 girls team plays in NCSL Division 1 and is coached by their president. (Their 2003/04 team played in CCL this past year and was a u18 state cup finalist.). Both teams are major feeders to West Potomac and MVHS girls soccer teams so could also provide social benefits for someone new to the area. SYC has a really solid 2006 team but is a further commute and the impact of the MacLean “merger” remains to be seen. ASA has solid teams generally but you may run into complications because lots of their players go to private schools and have different high school seasons (fewer players at practice on a regular basis in the fall). LMV is really hit or miss right now, so you just need to do some research on their 2006 team. My suggestion would be to reach out to coaches, ask questions, go the tryouts for a couple different teams and make an informed decision based on what you think will provide the best overall experience for your daughter. Coming from Minnesota, you may find the community feel of Gunston more attractive, where all of the kids go to the same high schools or you may not. In terms of level of play, the SYC 06 team is the highest, if it stays in tact after the merger. [/quote]
