[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I saw recently that a few CCL players were drafted in the MLS superdraft.  Even the number 1 pick.[/quote]

Finally some hard facts!!!  Hard for the CCL haters to argue against that fact[/quote]

Top three of CCL for 2005 girls has no NOVA teams. The only respectable looking girls side in CCL is Herndon. Prolly Loudoun and Arlington too but that’s because their CCL teams are feeders into their ECNL and GA teams.[/quote]

Lol Loudoun and Arlington are not using their CCL teams as feeders. The thing is the ECNL and GA teams will only give you are hard look if you are coming from an ECNL or GA team. It’s just the way things are. Once they select the girls at u13 that’s it for the most part. [/quote]

I don’t know about Arlington but Loudoun sells their garbage red (CCL1) and black (CCL2) teams as the feeders to ECNL.

You look at their ECNL results, then their CCL results and you’ll see that at any league Loudoun is typically the used and abused side of the contest. In some cases extremely embarrassingly. Imagine going a whole season with 0 wins and 1 goal scored.  :mrgreen:

But parents are too lobotomized and hijacked by their patch and suffer from cognitive dissonance when they’re confronted with the harsh truth. They’re scared to leave what’s revered as cool and many do not want to step out of the comfort zones.

Those who do wish they had done so earlier. [/quote]

The cognitive dissonance is when colleges start to look at your DD they aren't looking at your team record. Each kid interested in playing in college will find their level then. For those bench players on a highly successful team they will have learned that playing 15 minutes a game didn't get them into a better soccer program than the starter on that bad team they used to beat all the time got into.

While it must be frustrating for kids to go winless and score a single goal how frustrating must it be when a player watched their team win all those years and still ended up at the same college level as the player on the bad team? [/quote]

If you are not playing on your club team what’s the point? College coaches will think there is a problem- not good enough to start on a travel team. The larger problem is what if your DD does not play in college or gets one offer from a place she has no interest in attending. She just waste all those years basically being the practice team for the starter and never gets to play in the games. [/quote]
