I think it all depends on the club. For lower and mid clubs like Vienna Elite second and third teams will not preselect. For first teams maybe a few.
Same with mojo pink teams, Loudoun elite, etc. The preselect comes in play with top teams like Metro Travel, Paramount, and VA Juniors.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t consider Vienna Elite a “lower or mid club.” Their 1s teams are quite competitive. [/quote]

They’re precisely a Midtier club in my view[/quote]

What else is considered “Midtier” vs “lower” club? I don’t agree with this categorization either. [/quote]

Simplest way to explain the hierarchy:

Metro Travel and Paramount

Competitive, but not Metro Travel/Paramount: VAE, VAJrs., MDJrs, Blue Ridge, MVSA (good at younger age groups)

Mid-Tier: EC Power (MOJO now, I guess), MOCO, Vienna Elite, and several others

Low-Tier: anybody not named above

Anybody else not named above would be considered low tier

Eh...I would take VAE out of that list that includes Jrs.  They basically have one good team - last year's 16s (I guess this year's 17s).  A few great players on each of their other teams but the teams themselves really aren't competitive in competition.  And it's incredibly expensive compared to other clubs.  Years ago VA Elite was a top dog and provided a differentiated experience in terms of recruiting and training.  Other clubs have caught up and/or passed them by in the last 5+ years.  I would rank them mid-tier at this point, other than a having a handful of really impressive players who are D1 commits.
