[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a BSC parent nor fan of the club but recognize that a draw or one goal loss against PDA is not the end of the world especially when PDA has been riding roughshod over other strong opponents. The only other team to score more than a goal against PDA 05 in the last 24 months is Barcelona's development team. Get serious people. PDA, Solar, SoCal Blues, San Diego Surf, Eclipse, Tophat, etc., are stronger clubs. Most ECNL/GA conferences have a dominant team. Solar's U18/19 team has basically outscored its opponents 100 to 2 against strong competition. If this area could consolidate several clubs under one roof, you would see the type of dominance demonstrated by PDA. [/quote]

That'll never happen and especially at the younger ages. The only time it did is when the Bethesda players left and joined Mclean at the U18/U19 age group.  Champion one year and finalist another. This was after all of the players already had their college offers. This was the only team in the DMV in the last 10 years to make it to a final.

The 06s have a chance, but I would say it's slim at best. I don't think the Loudoun 07s even have a chance to win it's group at ECNL playoffs. There is currently no other teams that are even close. I don't consider Richmond part of the DMV. [/quote]

I don’t know what you are talking about with Bethesda players joining?  One player joined when the rest of her good team graduated.

McLean has been at this level with multiple age groups.  National champions (multiple), finalist (multiple) and semifinalist plus last year and this years team that can play with those top clubs.  Bethesda’s 00/01 group was good enough to compete with anyone.

Teams in this area can compete without consolidation.

Ok, fine. I thought it was few players so I am going to assume you are correct. Also, I was referring to the past 10 years. Can you tell me another girls team other than the U18/U19 team that placed in the finals and also won the ECNL Championship? The answer is none. Let me help you.

So yes, best answer is to consolidate talent otherwise the DMV will never have a chance. FCV may win GA Championship but that is kind of a joke at this point and comes with the title "Best National Team Not In The ECNL"[/quote]

It was the same age group but different teams meaning it wasn’t just one talented team.  Many teams in this area can compete nationally.  VDA made a finals too.   The best teams in this area can compete even with PDA.[/quote]

I agree, local clubs can compete with PDA, PDA South. [/quote]
