Someone on here keeps hyping Potomac but I’m struggling to see objectively how they make this claim. They haven’t beaten any of the local top tier 2014s like Loudoun, Arlington or SYC. They haven’t beaten SAC or Bethesda. What’s this based on?

Do all pre-ECNL and pre-GA feeder clubs start training with ECNL/GA teams, or are they doing in-house ID seasons?

For anyone who doesn't or isn't ready to step into that world at U13, which clubs in the DMV have the strongest ECNL RL + good coach combination?

It'd be fun to see a younger ECNL RL team from the area compete at the top of the RL system.

If the current U13 (2013G) serves as any indication, the top three RL teams are Arlington, GFR, and VYS.

A little oversimplified of course. Win record should not be the only measure, and no club leads in every age group.

Agreed, it seems so dependent from age group to age group (talent in the age group, team dynamics and coach). And the current 2014 rankings are also skewed by all the 2014 teams that are playing up 11v11 and thus not part of the rankings.

So for those looking out for one another (so much love on DCUM always), keep everyone posted on where that combination is coming together!

wrong the wins for 2014s playing up still register if they are 2014 team.

They are both over expanded, but ECNL is trying hard to reverse its over expansion, Ga and MLSN2 is trying to corner the market. It will be interesting to see who is right. I don’t know, but it will be fun to see it play out. I expect in the short term MLSN2 wins out, GA loses, but in the long term, who knows.

nah because all the boys club want MLSNext 1 (Home Grown) which also forces girls to GA. The only way to save ECNL it to stop requirement of having both boys and girls.

Or ECNL caters to girls more and mls next boys
