[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our experience, NCSL D1 is slightly below EDP D3.  I like NCSL and wish it were populated by better teams, but at U13 the better teams leave for ECNL-R and EDP.  For example, at U13 it looks like SYC has their 1st team in MLS NEXT, 2nd team in EDP D3 and 3rd team in NCSL D1.  Some of the larger clubs have their 1st team in ECNL/MLS, 2nd team ECNL-R, 3rd team in NCSL D1 and 4th team in NCSL D2.  EDP D1&2 is probably on average slightly above ENCL-R and EDP D3 probably a little below.[/quote]

NCSL DIV1

Current First Two Teams.  They are not all the brand name, and I hear you about EDP D3, however if we are talking about competitive teams, these teams other than U13 have showed the ability to maintain at the top of the first division in their age bracket.   Perhaps not all of these teams can win consistently against the top teams in ECNL/MLSNEXT, but I am certain they would compete against them.

Once you step into individual players and college placement/recruitment, the resources available to clubs and to those players with connected/knowledgeable parents become more apparent.

I think you must know you are kidding here, but I will respond anyway - for the sake of any poor parent driving by this forum (before they figure out to flee in terror) trying to actually find information.

None of these teams would compete with the top ECNL/MLS Next teams.

Many of the teams you list are actually third teams (not second teams - third teams) from Arlington and Loudoun and VDA (PWSI).  And Loudoun and VDA are not really top MLS Next / ECNL clubs.  And as an FYI when Arlington, for example, scrimmages internally the top team plays the second team in the next age group up - and usually wins convincingly - so imagine how it would do against the third team in its own age group.  My guess is you'd get margins of victory ranging from 3 goals to, quite possibly, double digits in games where the luck fell the better team's way.[/quote]
