No Arlington Red is CCL Arlington White is CCL 2.


For girls, red in CCL, white in CCL2
For boys, red is DA, white is CCL and blue is CCL2

at u11 and above up here (and down in the south), A teams slot into CCL and B teams slot into CCL2



Makes sense. Which is why Arlington White U9 May be CCL (as listed on CCL schedules) and older Arlington White may be CCL 2.

SYC top teams were CCL2 as they are not CCL. I believe top team is Orange. The names listed above are for U9/10 age groups where clubs put up to 3 teams at that level of CCL. The third team is likely going to NCSL to establish itself within that league since that's where they'll play in the future.

And the BRYC has two entries, both elite and elite blue. So I think that encompasses their top boys team unless others know otherwise.


Those are the clubs' 3rd teams.

What age groups? Boys or Girls or both? what happened to the 'pre-ECNL' teams?


I would think it's those "pre-ECNL" teams. Probably the feedback from the players and families wasn't the greatest not having games on a week to week.


Correct on age group. See link for full list of New NCSL teams for Spring 2018. http://www.ncsl-soccer.com/welcome-teams


So for teams below their 13U-19U ECNL teams, they left CCL, went to pre-ECNL training only mode, and are now putting those <13U teams back into NCSL? I can't track the landscape. Training-only mode was an interesting experiment that was nice to see tried.


I actually am skeptical. I think those teams listed as BRYC Academy Elite are NOT the same as the pre-ECNL team(s). The 'elite' teams at BRYC are historically ODSL teams. I bet those teams are simply leaving ODSL.


the 'elite' teams are the BRYC Academy teams (the top tier travel program/pre-ECNL/not rec program travel/whatever you want to call it) and they are piloting playing these teams in Spring for NCSL. I thought it was only U11 and U12 but I see the younger ages too. They are all good teams so it will be good competition. The U9s are fun to watch and many of them often play up with the older ages.

interesting to see so many new teams joining in the Spring. Probably many coming from Rec or ODSL. Too bad ODSL is having less and less teams each year. It's actually well organized.


Coming from CCL2 as well.


There are no CCL2 teams on that list.

I'm a Braddock Road parent and I agree with you there. It's a little better when you are inside the program, but I get a little jealous when I see Alexandria's website.

The Academy teams are the preECNL. I think it was just about getting a regular schedule in place. In the Fall some ages were able to set up games every weekend and some weren't.
