It's true that v the other 2 teams you mention they were maybe better quality being larger at lower ages.
this.
I would not put a u13-u18 girl at ASA right now.
Have her each out to the Arlington coaches. If she is 13 then she is a U14 or U15....they have 4 teams for each age group. Top teams play ECNL.

Anyone have thoughts on 2008 teams for next year? We are looking for a new opportunity.

The 2011 coach at Alexandria for the top team is not good but I think the roster might have open spots (probably because of the coaching). But I think I would reach out to LMV.

I’m assuming your DD is a 2010?
I don’t know the ASA or gunston coaches, but I’m definitely a fan of Luis bravo, the 2010 white (second team) at LMVSC. My kids think he’s a great coach and lots of fun.

U13 Girls coach at LMVSC is very good. It’s a program that your DD can definitely develop in.

If you end up going to public, the head coach at west potomac is the former president of lmvsc and the head coach at hayfield runs Gunston rec

Dad has played Rec for many years and one of the better players. She is a multi-sport athlete (travel basketball and Rec volleyball), but really focused on soccer this summer with clinics and some 1:1 training.
Goal would be to play in HS. We are looking at the Catholic HS teams.

Gunston was strong in that age group, but they merged two teams into one. The top team was very good, the second team was very bad
Still strong at 2010G... the second travel team was replaced by an SFL team that was winning all their games while playing up. That team jumped over to NCSL and will play Div 2 for the Fall.
That team is a closed team without tryouts. The former team that was in EDP absorbed the former second team players

Original poster said a 13 year old girl.....
Maybe she is the next Alyssa Thompson--didn't she play MLSNext?

I assume you live in Alexandria if you are choosing between these clubs? I would consider SYC too. The girls side has added some good coaches in the last year and I would say they are more skilled than ASA. Arlington would be a good option too.
