Finally some hard facts!!! Hard for the CCL haters to argue against that fact

Top three of CCL for 2005 girls has no NOVA teams. The only respectable looking girls side in CCL is Herndon. Prolly Loudoun and Arlington too but that’s because their CCL teams are feeders into their ECNL and GA teams.

Lol Loudoun and Arlington are not using their CCL teams as feeders. The thing is the ECNL and GA teams will only give you are hard look if you are coming from an ECNL or GA team. It’s just the way things are. Once they select the girls at u13 that’s it for the most part.

+1

BRYC and Metro United may be the only exception

+2. Mclean has not taken anyone since U13 who wasn't already in the GA or ECNL. I know a number of very talented girls from CCL who were denied spots, even after practicing as a guest for months.
You really have to move to the the GA/ECNL level at U13 to ever make some of these clubs.

Sorry but I know several girls who joined McLean from non-ECNL/GA clubs.

Isn’t OP kid playing in the CCL? Why are you asking about 05s verbally committing, Girls can’t take visits yet or speak on the phone with coaches so how would that happen?

Doing some research I came across a list of a dozen or more 05s that are already committed.

Well my kid plays for Loudoun ECNL and we in fact picked up two kids from the Red (CCL) team this fall. So, yes they are a feeder. But, thanks for the uninformed blather. Also, to the smarmy poster that stated McLean tied Loudoun 1-1, they dominated the game against us, missed about 4 point blank opportunities and we were lucky to tie. They are a superior team. However, in VA Richmond is the best team we’ve played this year. They have 3 players that are top class, are well coached and have no real weak spots other than they tend to over-possess at times. The NC and SC teams are a bit stronger overall but they have a few weak teams too. Anyhow from all the many, many 05 games I’ve watched over the last three years here is how I’d rank the NOVA teams currently: McLean ECNL and FCV GA (tied 1), Arlington GA(3), Loudoun ECNL(4), VDA ECNL(5), BRYC ECNL(6), Herndon CCL and Metro United (tied 7). If we throw in MD teams, then Bethesda ECNL and Pipeline would all be slightly lower than FCV/McLean but higher than Arlington, and MD United would be about the same as Arlington.

I don’t know about Arlington but Loudoun sells their garbage red (CCL1) and black (CCL2) teams as the feeders to ECNL.

You look at their ECNL results, then their CCL results and you’ll see that at any league Loudoun is typically the used and abused side of the contest. In some cases extremely embarrassingly. Imagine going a whole season with 0 wins and 1 goal scored.

But parents are too lobotomized and hijacked by their patch and suffer from cognitive dissonance when they’re confronted with the harsh truth. They’re scared to leave what’s revered as cool and many do not want to step out of the comfort zones.

Those who do wish they had done so earlier.

The cognitive dissonance is when colleges start to look at your DD they aren't looking at your team record. Each kid interested in playing in college will find their level then. For those bench players on a highly successful team they will have learned that playing 15 minutes a game didn't get them into a better soccer program than the starter on that bad team they used to beat all the time got into.

While it must be frustrating for kids to go winless and score a single goal how frustrating must it be when a player watched their team win all those years and still ended up at the same college level as the player on the bad team?
