[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The player pool is too small at younger ages to compete against boys teams at bigger clubs. [/quote]

McLean is a big club so why can't they compete in the younger male ages?[/quote]

McLean is a “big club” only in terms of results. They are a small-medium club in terms of size for the area. The house program (where the players come from) is slightly smaller than neighboring Vienna. It is WAY smaller than Arlington, Loudoun, Springfield, PWSI, SAC, MSI and many other area clubs, most of which McLean traditionally outperforms. [/quote]

By results, you mean older top girls players getting recruited for college, most of whom came from other clubs.  I totally agree that the size and quality of the house pool is a principal driver of results at U9-11, by far the most significant factor.  This carries over to ECNL at younger ages on the boys side.  McLean and BRYC will continue to have a tough time until they establish a really good relationship with neighbors to get talent feeding into their program.[/quote]
