[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

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]
Those teams are not getting kicked out. Over the past 2 years RL has added LMVSC, DCSC, VIVA and Herndon. To me that signals ECNL leadership views RL as a second tier platform and one that is meant to allow more clubs to have a “top” team. And leagues like that are needed. If you want the most competitive you need to play ECNL or GA. Don’t stay in RL and complain about the talent level. [/quote]

several clubs over the last few years have been booted out of RL[/quote]
