i'll bite.

U12 boys State champion will be Alexandria 08. Hands down best team in the area I would have said maybe LMVSC 08 boys would be a close second but since then whole SYC/LMVSC thing they all dis banded? No other team in the area is close to them in soccer.


U12 girls is another easy one the champions will be Loudoun since Strikers don't play State cup but NPL State cup.


Sometimes I wonder if these threads are just research material for a writer scribing a youth soccer version of dance moms.

It matters to you and nobody else.

Enjoy it but it doesn't mean what you hope it means.

It is at best a B level tournament and with two State Cups in Va it is pretty much a C level tournament.

It simply doesn't carry the weight it once did. Still fun for the kids who are in it but ever since Boys DA and ECNL came online a decade ago State Cup has lost its luster.

Enjoy it for what it is but don't try and make more out of it than it is either.



can't say it a C level tournament at U12 my argument still stands


And at U12 it is still split between two State Cups and is a 9v9 tournament on a small field with small goals. It means nothing.

change my mind


Since there are two "State Cups" between NPL and VYSA it is already diluted.
