Bottom line if wants to stay relevant in this area they either need to bring in a new club or force bucks and delco to make some changes. Many people are starting to question the value of ECNL at these two clubs.

When the majority of the PF teams are in top brackets (championship) in post season (including in it's ECNL final season), how is that not deemed successful? Btw unlike some other clubs, if a PF player travels even in post season, they play. Some clubs only play same kids. The object is to get them ready for college play. Kids play and kids get recruited. That is youth soccer.
Who cares about youth trophies? I see kids on teams that won trophies in their youth that play little if any in college. There are PF, Delco and Bucks and other PA kids in college .. playing, contributing.
The purpose behind youth soccer is to get kids committed to college and then get them to a position where they not only play but can be impactful. PA kids are doing that.
Btw...PF PMc (1 of 4 PA Uva players) drafted in nwsl.
Not average at all.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDid anyone bother to fact check this - looks like GotSoccer has them ranked 38th in the U.S.A not 12th, and for whatever it is worth, 104th in the U.S. on Youthsoccerranking.
But the question is why would a club post a ranking citing got soccer anyway - everyone knows got soccer is not a great rankings site. Actually, come to think of it why would a club make any post like that? Desperate for some good publicity? Weird.

Just goes to show you how piss poor and meaningless GotSoccer rankings are.
