Most Black and Silver started as ODSL then moved to NCSL. U14 Black B had to take some U13 players this past fall—they got hot by COVID drops and some families moving. I believe their Fall roster was supplemented by some U13s from and ODSL team that couldn’t play because ODSL didn’t operate.

My DS plays on the u14 elite and we had a rough fall. We are thinking of playing for the Black team this spring. DS doesn't start or played a lot with his team. Moving to Black would keep him on the field most of the game. Both play in NCSL only a couple divisions apart.

It’s a big club and all levels within the club sometimes have to work practices in on a third of field space.

Is this like this at other clubs that serve rec thru ECNL?

B...b...but we’re also ranked higher than the academy teams and they’re stuck up. Have you seen the new Mercedes the director drives and the McMansion in Great Falls he lives in. It’s a money grab!

PP here. I’m not complaining about the set up. Elite has two sites to serve all its players. The rec/volunteer gets to use everything else they get permitted for and it’s a heck of a lot more than just two field locations.

What the difference in Elite vs Composite vs Blue? I can't tell how Composite fits in, unless it's intended to be a "fake" designation in the middle for a tournament where they combine an elite & a blue team? For example - at the ASIST coming up, the 2009/2011/2012 girls are called Elite Academy Elite, but the 2010's are called Elite Academy Composite. All of them have the same coach listed except the 12's (BN). It seems like they're at the same relative level of bracket so presumably it's all the top teams.
