[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a late 2013 and will be playing with her SY next year. Wondering what ECNL/GA teams would be good potential landing spots in the area. Don’t know much about that age group. [/quote]It is really hard to say because many of the teams will change. Everyone will have their own bias so I anticipate a lot of unhelpful feedback on DCUM, but I will try. SYC, McLean and Loudoun are playing 11v11 this year, which is a pro and a con. Most other notable clubs are focusing on 9v9 to strengthen skill in smaller spaces etc. FVU has major risk (if Mclean girls come over then they will be ok, if they dont, then the team will struggle). VDA should be solid but takes time to stitch PWSI and VSA. VDA has a very defined path and coaching structure so you should look at their youtube townhalls to see if that resonates. SYC is strong but lost players this year to Mclean and Arlington. Loudoun has some really talented players but the NVA/ Loudoun thing is messy IMHO. Arlington is Arlington. They won WAGS top division and tied VSA, so that can give you a sense of where they fit in. For some reason Arlington isnt in Jeff Cup. That was a quick ramble but hopefully helpful.[/quote]

Pretty accurate. A potential wild card is the GFR 2014s. Where will they end up? [/quote]Yeah they have a few talented players. I am guessing FVU or they stay. NVA is pretty much set, so I guess Loudoun is an option too. I wouldn’t consider GFR for u13 next year.[/quote]

If you are guessing one option is they stay (which seems like a real possibility if the coaching lineup stays the same and they stay in ML and NM's orbit), why wouldn't you consider GFR for U13?  [/quote]With GA expanding last year, RL is definitely a level lower. I think it would make it harder or less advantageous to switch back a year later to higher level of play. I think it would slow down too much[/quote]

Some will take the technical development under these coaches at U13 over the badge.  They won't be sold on the argument that if they don't step into ECNL and GA at U13, they will never be able to do so again. [/quote]

At u17 it gets easier as kids drop out and the rosters expand.[/quote]
