For all the haters here, the ranking of Baltimore non-DA clubs Pipeline and Celtic is impressive.

Is Arlington the only VA team on the list? I didn't see any others. They don't even have full DA


Yep. Did Bethesda make it? Pipeline was highest among area non MLS.

USMNT is not the highest level of soccer for males.

It matters if your kid would like to receive a salary to play the sport, which is a much more realistic option for boys than girls, regardless of the national teams' performances.

I'd probably also give extra points to a kid who grew within the club vs. transferred (i.e. a development bonus).


I would have the top criteria be a vote on DCUM. Everyone on here knows more about soccer than anyone else on the planet.


That wouldn't work because posters here only want to talk about girls' soccer.


oh, is there boys' soccer in this area?

Prediction: SoccerWire, aka FCV’s PR Branch, will have lots of detail about how great FCV’s girls are and very little about any other local teams. Continuing their existing trend of ECNL/DA coverage on the girls’ side.
