[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see in the post that GA has added 2 new teams.

Carolina Core - girls club ranking/strength #507
KC Legends - girls club ranking/strength #214

yikes...[/quote]

If you remove the 07/08 (1100 ranking) team which wont be around next season. What is the new math?

The younger teams 2012 and younger are pretty solid[/quote]

and what if a dingo ran out in the street and ate your baby? what if's... lmao..GA hats crack me[/quote]

What if an ecnl team plays pipeline? Does that count for anything?[/quote]

Funny enough pipeline is actually better than a lot of GA teams! Be careful when you single out the bottom feeders[/quote]

Lies—a local Aspire team defeated a Pipeline ECNL team at the Bethesda Showcase.[/quote]

Which Aspire team? My impression is that Aspire is generally weaker than ECNL RL in the DMV, so genuinely curious if some clubs are stronger in the spectrum of Aspire. [/quote]

Several ASPIRE teams have beaten ECNL National-level teams in past tournaments. The most recent example is from the Bethesda Premier Cup several months ago. If you check the scores, the top U14 girls bracket shows the SYC Aspire team beating Pipeline ECNL, and a U13 Aspire team from New York beating VDA’s 2013 ECNL side. It’s hard to take RL in Northern Virginia seriously when some of the [b]big-name clubs—like BRYC, LMVSC, and Vienna—operate more like large rec programs[/b] than true competitive environments.[/quote]

This is true. It is astonishing none of these clubs appear to be getting booted out of ECNL RL next year.  Up and down the board for both girls and boys the clubs are at the bottom of the RL tables. And yet they are advertising themselves for tryouts as a ECNL national pathway.   I think these clubs typically only get 2-6 new players at their tryouts as well.  [/quote]
 
How is this different from Aspire? Genuine question. I've heard that most of the Aspire teams in the DC area are fairly weak. This could (of course) change over time. I see one team (SYC) being mentioned as strong.[/quote]
2nd teams are always going to be hit or miss. This is because if a player does well they either get pulled up to the top team in their club or they leave and join a top team at another club. Every year is different which means theres no consistency.

As an example if SYC has a 2nd team thats doing well. Its like a dinner bell to all the top team coaches in the area looking for talent.[/quote]
