I'm sure you realize what a ridiculous statement this is. NC has a population of 11 million people and growing, with many excellent young female soccer players almost all of which do not play for CSA.
What metric quantifies this statement?
if you don't play for CSA, you are not good.

Poster was going for the hyberbole, but they have a point. Looking at Soccer Rankings, CISC will be the cream of the crop as they are coming from ECNL. The rest (Triangle, Wake, CDA) are on par or below the RL teams in NC.
Hyperbole is the only way to go on here to get discussion going. But yes, all this is what I meant.

And would guess it is just 1 weekend (2 teams) as the other 2 will be NC coming to VA.

Yep, absolutely. DD's team is going that is on fall ECNL, Spring HS schedule. They have a training tonight to get everyone together and then their games this weekend. It's a good warmup for prepping for national playoffs plus they will play some good teams as well. And last chance to play in front of the colleges before June 15. They will start training again for playoffs after this weekend.

Definetely wrong. Most of the NC ECNL teams are playing this weekend despite season being over in December. HS season is done except for state championship games, so majority of players are available.
It’s interesting to see these teams show up somewhat rusty and out of practice, as a team, after the high school gap.
So they are rusty. Its a showcase - there no awards, trophies, or places. Just another opportunity to put 18 kids in front of college coaches for a weekend. Why wouldn't you take that opportunity?
