[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously too embarrassed of their team to even post the age group.   Very likely if they did, folks would find that team would have trouble competing with NCSL Div 1 let alone an elite team.   Best of luck to you.  [/quote]

Please explain to me why I would ever expose my kid to you? Seriously, you think your ECNL patch earns you the right to know who my kid plays for?

I don't see any of you offering up your kids team, all you do is talk about your league and the great clubs in your league but you never seem to talk about your teams accomplishments. Considering there are only three top ECNL teams out of 18 in NoVA and 4 teams in dead last I'd probably just keep things to the league if I was you too.

Which ECNL team with a losing record is your kid on that most decent players couldn't walk onto? Which last place ECNL team in NoVA does your kid play for that could probably replace 10 kids and get immediately better? Frankly in our region your patch doesn't mean squat because most of the teams suck at that level.  [/quote]

Not PP, but have you actually looked at ECNL standings to see the strength of the NoVA clubs? The average placing for all four NoVA clubs (24) across all age groups is 6.2. Obviously for an 11 team league, the average of all teams would be 5.5 so NoVA teams are just below the mean. I don't think you can support the argument that NoVA teams in the MA division are weak based on this. They have a pretty normal distribution.[/quote]

3 teams are in the top half 4 teams are in dead last and the rest are at or below .500.

Yes, our region is weak.[/quote]

Weak is relative.  They are still stronger than the girls EDP teams in the region though.  That’s the point.  PP should take his or her DD to an elite club if she’s such a hotshot.  No need to come here and try to peacock, yet turtle up on even the club or age group.

The fear of saying where or the age says a lot about how DD might actually fare. [/quote]
