PAC is a smaller club but have a few really good teams the boys 07 and girls 07 teams are 2 of the better teams in the area.

PAC is in NCSL and CCL this year and will be NCSL and EDP next year.

PPA premier is like this if you’re not in the top team. Games are all at the MD SoccerPlex.

Arlington ADP.

ADP. That’s exactly what the program is for. I can stay on the team until they are 12 with tryouts each year. Most choose to play ADP and rec so they’re getting three practices a week and two games.

at older ages you'll have kids who dropped travel for other sports or just didn't want to devote the time anymore playing there. Some of the teams can be very good

I'm not sure that fits the bill--they will be in NCSL, too, so the intensity of competition will be the same as it is for any other U10 travel club in the area.

It might apply if not as intense means less serious coaching and team commitment expectations, but it would still be in NCSL/a competitive travel league.
