The MA is one of the weakest around. Stop the nonsense. NOVA has McLean and FCV. everyone else is on a lower level.

It is so hard to compare kids teams at the younger ages.

For instance, at the U15 age group, McLean has a loss to a team BRYC tied.

Please, stop hyping BRYC based on a single home game. BRYC lost to McLean 0-5, VDA 1-6, SCU 1-5, plus to bunch of other teams by at least 3 goals. They deserve to be in the last place. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out their relative strength vs other teams.

Richmond is not in NOva. Anyhow, yes these are kids and results and quality of play will change week to week. Even college teams and pro teams have ups and downs. Anyhow, McLean continues to be the best in ECNL largely due to Nadir and Clyde and a bit of historical brand. That is the long and short of it. BRYC, VDA, and Loudoun are all lumped together with Loudoun suffering from the poorest coaching comparatively and with all three suffering from DA / ECNL player dispersion (I.e. over saturation of “elite” teams).
