Looks to me like NVYLL had 47 U11A or B teams this past Spring. I picked U11 just as an example.

Shouldn't it be easy to field a half-dozen travel "A" teams from that group? The 2021 South Charlotte Cyclones lost 9-8 to the Madlax AA team after beating the Hawks AA team this Summer. They couldn't have drawn from but a small fraction of that number of kids. Again, not trying to be derogatory and no point to make, but this just doesn't compute. Are AA players commuting to Bethesda? Is soccer or swimming the dominant travel sport?

Madlax can't be drawing all the AA players from NVYLL or else they would be even better.
