[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Go do the math champ. NoVA teams are a tick below average in MA. 5 first place teams, 6 last place teams and the rest are scattered in the middle.[/quote]

A tick below average means they are below average. 6 last place teams? Seriously? That is terrible. There are no power clubs in the Mid-Atlantic during the season and now with NC Courage things just got worse.

Sorry mate, your ECNL teams are BELOW average. And as far as "middle of the pack", they are below middle of the pack. No matter how you slice it, there isn't a dominant ECNL club in NoVA and the argument of "just wear the patch" will do your last place teams no good in showcases.

It is ok, it isn't your fault the region is diluted but it is your fault that you are so deluded to believe that a ECNL patch in this region means anything.  [/quote]

Yet still, his kid is a better player than your kid, EDP mom. [/quote]

Nope.

The record says our region ECNL teams are below average for the conference and the conference is at best average across the entire league.

This tells me that the players, like their records are below average ECNL players, which makes them good, but not great players. Good players are not untouchable. Yes, there are lots of kids out there who could take a spot on any of the diluted teams.

I mean, you're the ones who are constantly in GA threads just trying to get players to move over because you know RELATIVELY that your teams suck. It is a bitch trying to recruit players to crappy teams, that is why you pump your league over your team. If your teams were all that you wouldn't be in this thread at all. So, please tell us all your team so that we can be "impressed" with your "just a tick below average" team. [/quote]

GA has a lot of really good girls, EDP not so much.

Name your club and/or year otherwise this dialogue is worthless. [/quote]
