[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The VPL experiment hasn't turned out too well in scoreboard terms. Are the players developing despite losing seasons? Can we draw any conclusions about the Lima era as a result of how the older teams have done, or it that not fair? Do we know what the plan might be for the VYS "A" teams in the future? A few younger teams are doing okay. [/quote]

Hard to say. Younger teams are doing OK. Older girls teams are dominant -- you could argue they aren't getting enough competition in the league -- but they'll age out in a couple of years. The middle years are struggling, particularly on the boys side, and a lot of that had to do with players going to Bethesda South and so forth. I don't blame Eddie for that -- VYS developed some good players, and Bethesda South said, "Hey, thanks very much." It happens.

All of those leagues face this sort of question, though. What does Roanoke Star do in CCL? Should clubs be able to pull an overmatched team out of an age group and perhaps replace that team with a team from another club? That puts a dent in the "club-centric" model, but it means you don't have teams that are hopelessly stuck at a level that's over their heads.[/quote]
