[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has a daughter on one of the older teams you mentioned, I would give it another year or so. The Maryland teams are formed VERY early (early Elementary school) so they are ahead of any team coming from VA. My daughters team used to get killed in 4th/5th grade when they played the M&D's of the world. Look at the 2026/2027 Pride teams and the 2026 Stars teams. They are all very competitive vs. the top clubs from Baltimore. Things tend to even out once the VA teams learn to catch/throw and play at a more competitive level.

It could be a talent thing but as long as the kids are good athletes, they will close the gap.[/quote]

The 26 Stars team is only good because the top Pride players crossed over and are now on Stars.  The Pride 27 team is head and shoulders better than the Stars 27 team.  The 28s are probably about even with maybe the Stars 28 team having a slight advantage.

The last statement is the issue.  The teams just don't have the talent or athletes.  The gap will continue to exist.

Agree on the last poster, the idea of a merge is just not happening.  There's too much hatred across both clubs.  VA Metro is a good club, but not the talent level of the other 3 mentioned in this post.  Saying that NGLL doesnt matter is just trying to justify not playing in it.  NGLL has the best competition out there, even in the B divisions.  Playing against some of the top teams and players in the country goes a long way to player development and competition.

The only way any kind of merge or consolidation happens is if the parents of top players choose to go from Pride to Stars or Stars to Pride.  NL has some great talent as well, but why they wouldn't just go to HoCo for those teams instead of fighting 495. [/quote]
The migration patterns are interesting. I have never heard of a MoCo kid playing in VA but do know if VA kids playing in MoCo.  And yes, a lot of MoCo kids play for teams in Howard and Baltimore counties, from what I can tell primarily Heroes and Skywalkers. M&D seems to be a bit more exclusive for Glenelg and McDonough girls. [/quote]
