Jeff Cup. lol. Remember 5 years ago it was THE tournament. Wow, ECNL is a dumpster fire.
Does ECNL run Jefferson cup?
No. It was a Richmond Strikers, now Richmond United tournament. It always has been a huge event. Parents of my DDs teammates remember playing in the tournament. I think that it may have dipped a bit during COVID, much like everything else. They held the younger boys weekend that year (2020) and then everything else got canceled.
My DD's team, now U17, has played in it every year since U10 and it's always a good event and a chance to play some teams that you normally wouldn't see - ECNL v. GA, etc.

Yes, I was quite impressed by the representation as always. People are probably hating whose team didnt get in. This continues to be a high level tourney. Hopefully the fields are quality.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:My coach said lots of requests are going in now to move teams in/out of brackets.

Did Jefferson cup fall off?
I'm not as familiar with the hs ages, but for the younger kids you have 951 teams over two weekends including some top teams from all over the country. I'd say it's doing just fine.

Where could you put syc and Alexandria 2012?
100% Alexandria should be in the top flight. They would win.
According to coach and parents!

Exactly, too low for what? SYC played 3 teams in the bracket above them last year and got beat soundly by all 3, those teams didn’t get worse…
No one is interested in playing the same teams over and over except I guess the teams that lost and none of these good teams are traveling here for meh local competition to be fluffed with bracket selections.
Over the past year, SYC U14s have beaten 4–5 teams ranked higher than them in scrimmages and official games. Many teams across all age groups appear to be misplaced in the current brackets, so I expect more changes in the coming weeks for boys and girls.
They’re 5th in the rankings app. Have they beaten any of the teams above them?
Union, Arlington, Richmond, VDA?
Easy there pal, don’t you know you can offset losing to those teams by suggesting you did well in unknown scrimmages?
Precisely what’s wrong. Team loses to 3 teams placed above it no less than 8 months ago (pretty handily), another in the top bracket a month ago (handily again) and their coach comes on to piss and moan because angry parents think their girls are being screwed. Team went 1-5 against the level you claim they should be at in the last two big local tournaments, you’re right where you should be.
And that’s ok! It’s ok to just be placed appropriately instead of being cannon fodder to make yourself and the parents feel better. Good grief…
SYC GA scrimmages now? Good that those coaches aren’t hiding anymore.
