[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  What are composite teams? Thanks[/quote]

"Composite" is a term that ECNL was using in other markets - mid-atlantic didn't officially have composite, but clubs with bigger rosters at certain age age groups would pool HS age kids into one team to make sure they were getting playing time, even if they weren't playing on the main ECNL team.  Mclean started doing this per age group this year instead of pooling into 1 HS -age team.  Up until last year, ECNL offered composite league scheduling and a showcase or two for composite teams in certain markets...  They are ending that program, but some clubs (I think Bethesda on the boys side and Mclean on the girls side) still roster enough to field a team.

Composite is basically the reserve squad to compare it to a higher-level soccer set-up... Composite also allows clubs to roster enough girls to field a decent team, even when the girls are playing other sports or HS soccer, or if there are injuries, which are unfortunately common at this level and age.
