at U13 its going to be NVA or Union.

Union is definitely not it. The club has existed for 2 years, and just went through another shake-up. It’s so desparate it’s partnered with 6 mediocre lower level clubs for field space. The coaching is awful. The current club has NO track record and is sliding backwards fast. Watch as the talent continues to leave.

it absolutely is. That team is the 2013 mclean girls which was the best in the area. And Right behind 2013 loudoun (NVA). Go look at the rankings

PP isn’t asking what the best u13 team is. They’re asking about the clubs in the area. The best u13 team doesn’t necessarily end up being the best u16 team in the area.

based on what i have scene those two clubs will dominate area unless the girls leave. Which they wont. Big drop off in talent after those teams for U13 G

Don't let Arlington chime in a say they are replacing Unions old recrutiting dominance. Arlington is very good at what it does, giving high EFC families access to slightly better academic options through soccer. This very rarely translates to D1 but when it does its usually to ivys. So again very good at what they do, I would add McLean GA will do this well too, more so because of their zip code than anything else. So the answer as PP said is VDA hands down and Union in 2nd for now but they will need to see better results with 09 and 10 classes then they have done so far with 08.

Not sure about Union being second. most of those girls in 09 and 10 classes are from McLean before McLean moved on from the partnership. Union could get strong from merger of 6 teams but you need to have very good coaches. Look for strong coaches lineup with good track records. I believe VDA and Arlington over any other teams in Virginia. NVA has good players/teams but coaches are mess, St. James also has good players but the whole club is a mess.

This is very helpful! Thank you.

OP this is not correct information. 09s at Union is basically NVA 09 team now, and 10s are 1/3 SYC, 1/3 Brave, and 1/3 other clubs none are from McLean.

So it seems like VDA and Arlington for their coaching and track record?

VDA coaching is the best in the area at 13/14.
