[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think on the boys side Mclean and Bryc clubs don't want Arlington in the ECNL so they can pick up all of the talent. Their would be more than a few parents feeling shocked at Mclean and Bryc when their kids are sent out the door in favor of former Arlington DA kids. [/quote]

I assume this is for very young teams?  The older teams at Arlington are not as strong already as the teams in ECNL boys.  VDA, BRYC, McLean or Loudoun.[/quote]

Very young?  Let's just look at ECNL age and then U12 (which these clubs denominate as pre-ECNL).  Here are the local VA teams that are ranked higher than the highest ranked VA ECNL boys teams:

U12:  Alexandria

U13: Arlington DA, SYC, Alexandria, Sterling, Great Falls Reston

U14:  Alexandria, Herndon, Arlington, DA, Doradus, Arlington Red

U15:  Alexandria, Arlington DA, SYC

U16:  Arlington DA

So yes, if I am in the ECNL, and want to play the best in each age group, looks like there are a number of other clubs above the best VA ECNL teams

You got trolled.  [/quote]

Take one more

"U16:  Arlington DA"

Only Arlington family calls U16 team as DA team, everyone else knows that there is no DA for U16 at Arlington.

LOL.

Haven’t we already discussed how meaningless these rankings are... Whatever math is used behind the scenes, it does not take in strength of competition. So if a team is cleaning up in a weak league they rank higher. It is no different than the gotsoccer silliness. [/quote]
