Cesa 06s had a covid case so Arlington decided the trip to SC wouldn’t be worth it for one game

Just like McLean and BRYC. Manipulating the schedule to avoid games they know they’re going to lose….and they will never make it up

Right. Because it would make sense for Arlington to travel all the way to SC for one game.... It can't be that they respect their families' time and money and rescheduled the game. It must be manipulating the schedule. And you talk about McLean avoiding games when it was just 2 age groups that had to reschedule due to double-booking the field for State Cup/President's Cup and an ECNL game? All other games were played that day. As for BRYC, they are doing so much manipulating, that they are at the bottom of the standings.

Hey Loudoun parents, remind this poster how the McLean team avoided playing y’all in the last game of the year in fear of getting knocked out the champions league.

What are you talking about? McLean played Loudoun twice in the spring, including the last game of the year (May 29). Beat Loudoun 3-0.

Ha ha…baited. Hi McLean guy

Were those games played when originally scheduled? Or no?

Courage has already played all the VA clubs except Richmond....because Richmond had COVID that weekend.

BRYC has played 8 games, while Richmond has played 4 and Courage, 5.
Arlington has played 7. All this in a span of less than a month.

But outside of a single team within each age group, DMV area clubs seem to be struggling on a whole. When averaging the sum of points for each club (U13 thru U18/19), Charlotte SA, NC Courage, and Richmond are clearly the top 3 clubs overall. NC Courage swept BRYC and Arlington this past weekend. We know BRYC is struggling, but wasn't Arlington considered a "strong" club in Girls Academy last year??

So half the age groups are led by NOVA clubs? That’s a bad thing?

I was going to say this. 50% led by NOVA clubs and out of 14 total teams, 5 are in NOVA. Interesting math here and I'd say NOVA clubs doing just fine.

Yes, NOVA has a good team within each age group, but he OP was referring to NOVA as a whole. Current sum of 'points' for each club is as follows. None of the top clubs have played each other yet other than Courage and VDA. Keep in mind that Courage/NCFC is the only club that has both 1st and 2nd teams in this league.

CSA 14.00
Richmond 13.75
NC Courage 13.65
VDA 10.35
Loudoun 10.01
CESA 9.58
VA Union 9.07
Charlotte Independence 8.80
Arlington 8.64
NC Fusion 7.71
Wilmington 6.50
SCUFC 5.83
NCFC 4.59
BRYC 2.87

Just another way to look at it, but at end of the day, 3 of 6 age groups have a NOVA club on top. After that, only metric that matters is being in top 5 so you can attend post-season in Seattle for Champions League. Based on that, 3 of the top 5 (on your metric) show VA clubs, 2 of that 5 being from NOVA. Still showing NOVA doing very, very well.

yeah, will be interesting to see what this looks like in another month. Richmond hasn't played any of the NC clubs yet. VDA, Union & Loudoun haven't played Charlotte SA yet. A lot will change.

Agreed. Plus, some of NOVA clubs padded up their stats by beating up on Braddock Road and have not played some of the tougher clubs.

BRYC has played a max of 8 games and only faced two NOVA clubs.

Arlington has played only NC/SC teams, and the schedule has been almost all back to back weekends. We’ll see how things go when they start playing NOVA teams. I guess they got last pick of schedules because they were the last in? Not sure how that worked out, but such a ridiculous schedule has caused multiple season-ending injuries.

Has Arlington played significantly more matches than other clubs in the area? You are grasping at straws, bruh.
