[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just quickly looked at the CCL website standings for all ages both sexs,  Arlington seems to be a regular fixture in top 3 but i see a mix of SOCA, beach, mclean, nvsc, loudoun which doesnt seem to indicate a second team as successful.

Correct, Arlington may be the most consistent but there are other very good teams/clubs across all divisions.[/quote]

I've seen some Arlington 2nd teams who are better than most CCL 1st teams in their age groups.[/quote]

I could say the same for other club's 2nd teams.  It just depends on the year and the talent available.[/quote]

If that is true, what happens to the Club's 2nd team over time? [/quote]

That is a question that it would love to know more about.  I assume that some of the better players eventually leave for the 1st team or look for opportunities elsewhere that allows them to play at a higher level.  I think that is one of the big issues with CCL because it limits a club's 2nd team from playing against higher level competition.  Maybe if they had a system where it allowed some club's 2nd teams to play against 1st teams it would allow them to retain that talented team within the club for a longer time.  With Arlington having larger numbers in their program, it allows their 2nd teams to consistently be strong while others at other clubs look for greener pastures.  I've heard someone say promotion/relegation within ccl/ccl2 but it would be difficult for scheduling if 1 club has 2 teams in ccl and they are playing against a club that only has 1.  [/quote]
