It wasn’t just the 10s that had a strong showing. There was a strong showing across the board in the mid Atlantic. Are you saying many teams making the round of 16 isn’t strong? Have YOU ever accomplished a national 16 showing in your life? If so, let us know so we can bask in your better accomplishment…. Any national 16 showing is a great achievement.
The mid Atlantic conference in GA is very weak, especially in the south. Making the playoffs is nothing to brag about. The top clubs are usually head and shoulders above 95 percent of the GA league. You have to make it past the playoffs to establish the team as a competitor.
MA is weak for both GA/ECNL

Arrogance of these clubs is that you pay them and then they force quit you unless you are the selected one.
Same experience for us. Coaches are private training kids and get side gifts from parents all the time. Those are the favorites. Also, the ones that follow coaches when they move to another club.
Which club and age group are you talking about? Curious…
Not certain about this, but a 2010 was allowed to play in playoffs with an older team and had zero national experience competing at this level. The player looked good with skills until the pass was made to the other team every time. No excuse for allowing this player to play. The 10 coach who advanced this player was already demoted from even coaching this level of team due to MANY parent complaints. Word is that the coach was close friends with the older team coach and the favoritism helped lead this team to failure in the playoffs.
This all comes across solely as sour grapes as someone who knows absolutely nothing the particular situation. I bet you're leaving out a few key details.

Aldo the team likely gave up because they werent used to battling back for a win.
Time to setup friendlies with top clubs outside your league bubble to get a perspective on what other clubs are doing.
There really isn't any top clubs outside the league for age group.
Bethesda, VDA, Union. 3 of the best ECNL teams in the nation are down the road.
Best in the nation. lmao
31, 20, and 8 nationally per the rankings app. Armour is 85.
This was in response to Baltimore Armour 10s needing more competition.
Armour scrimmaged VDA before leaving for playoffs
Armour 09/10 played a mixed team of VDA 10/11’s.
Csa, Union, VDA 10’s all in the round of 16. What about the weak mid Atlantic?
