lol. and conversely to suggest that local DA teams are competitive with ECNL teams is a pretty large leap without the benefit of cross league play.

They've beaten DC United DA's team twice this season, as well as knocked off a number of other MLS academy teams this season (e.g., NE Revolution). However, because this BSC team has not played club teams, it's difficult to compare them against that pool.

Girls teams. Thanks though, Bethesda dad.

Says you. The title of the thread is best 03 teams, not best 03 girls teams.

Bethesda is excellent, and I find DC United underwhelming as an MLS Academy. What keeps them going is the prospect of a pro connection.

Bethesda boys 03 is excellent? Are you talking about DA team? They are good, the rest are average. Not even top 10 in the area if you include DA.

Yeah, I meant the DA team.

Of course he meant the DA team, because this thread is about the top 03 teams - not B teams.

I'd put Baltimore Armour's 03 DA above Bethesda's right now, but it's true both are better than DC. The only asterisk to that is that DC has a lot of their 03s playing up with the 19s or even on the USL team. Then again, they brought all those guys with them to the GA Cup and it didn't seem to make much difference.

VDA's 03s are a step below the other three, and are probably at about the same level as Baltimore Celtic, McLean, Loudoun,and BRYC.

the 03 boys age group is interesting for sure as the local ECNL teams are very competitive with all of the DAs. unique to the age group though as the other age groups have much stronger DA teams than ecnl teams.

I think to suggest that the local ECNL teams are very competitive with all of the DAs is a pretty large leap without the benefit of cross league play.

Well McLean played VDA in a friendly this fall and got up 3-0 in 15 minutes before bringing in a bunch of 04s. VDA ultimately came back and won but McLean was stronger team that day. And BRYC and Loudoun are at same level as McLean if not higher.

It's always going to be team by team basis, but the absence of cross league play is an unfortunate reality of this system. Years ago, there was only one top league. I wish Jeff cup and other big tournaments had brackets that observed DA rules. It would be a chance for that sort of competition.

Couldn't agree more
