Yes, I am a data nerd!  Thanks for the recognition.

[quote=Anonymous]NVA has the highest win %? [/quote]
Keep in mind that the winning percentage is based on games played by each team, which is quite varied at this point of the season.   Winning percentage doesn't mean a heck of a lot until every club has played all their games.  But several threads on this board have posters making broad claims about this club winning more than that club, hence the focus on wins in the original post.

[quote=Anonymous]If you think winning percentage is an important part of youth sports, at any level, you are part of the problem. [/quote]
I actually don't think winning percentage is at all important for individual player assessment, but you would have to admit there are lots of debates on this board related to the quality of clubs and quality of coaching.  I do believe that better clubs tend to have (or develop) better players, and teams with better coaching are positively correlated to wining more games.  I don't disagree with your point that win/loss records are more of a distraction to the broader purpose of youth sports.  One reason I kept this data at the club level was to see if any clubs separated themselves on average from other clubs across most age groups.  Why are NC Courage and Charlotte SA a step up from other clubs in the same region?  Maybe it’s the water down there?  Or maybe these clubs are better at developing and using the talent they have?  Maybe they just got lucky?  [/quote]

You must be new. CSA and NC Courage are mega clubs with very little competition around them for players. It’s a numbers game.[/quote]
