[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wins in VA in ages u15,u16,u17,u18/19 (recruiting ages) it would be crazy to include u13-14 as it is not about winning at these very young age groups.

McLean 19 from 30 games             McLean 63%
BRYC 17 from 28 games                BRYC.   61%
Richmond United 16 from 32          Richutd 50%
VDA 6 from 36 games                    VDA.    17%
Loudoun 5 from 28 games             Loudoun 18%

This thread was created as a bash on Loudoun but the reality is VDA is just as bad. The ECNL was created to showcase players for college, that is why the u13-14 age group scores are irrelevant unless you have 13&14 year olds at VDA being recruited.

17%, so VDA parents need to take a step back, most of those kids will leave for BRYC or McLean at u15.

On the other hand McLean and BRYC deserve a lot of credit for doing so well, it is a very difficult league.

What a nice way to manipulate the numbers to make Loudoun's parents to feel better.  Let's exclude U13 and U14 teams in which VDA is in top three in the league winning 10 out of 13 games (roughly 77 percent).  And, incidentally, Loudoun's teams are in the 7th and 9th places in the same age groups.     [/quote]

Players play in the ECNL to get recruited. Players do not get recruited until u15 at the earliest. Lets check on the VDA 05-06 in 2 years when most of the teams leave for fcv McLean and BRYC. Or when they start focusing on results. McLean beat VDA 14-1 in goals in 16-17-17-18/19. BRYC beat VDA 14-4 in the same ages. [/quote]

Your logic does not explain why VDA U15 team is higher in the standings than both McLean and BRYC.  And they did well in the head to head games against both of these clubs.  Why would they leave for a lower ranked team from another local club? [/quote]

They tied BRYC and have played 2 more games than them? Only 4 points ahead, if BRYC beats Ncfc and Wilmington they would go back ahead. Two very equal teams. [/quote]
