For those who have been around soccer long enough in Washington Classic means something different.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
When we used to play in the Washington state league the top 2 divisions were considered "premier" the 3rd and 4th were considered Classic, and everything below was select. It was how you classified your team.Comment

Washington still uses Premier (RCL clubs like Crossfire or WashT), Select (next tier down like Pacific FC or FCSC) and Rec. Typically, Premier teams play in the state league (RCL), Select teams play in a District or Regional League (NPSL, District 6, etc.)Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

who gives a crap?
The very root of our issue is the fact that people are still asking this question, thinking it is relevant. Quantity does not matter. Quality does.
Here is a better question:
Does it matter how many teams Washington Timbers has?
No. Because outside of the top one or two teams at each age group the rest are glorified rec teams, with parent volunteer coaches that have no idea about soccer or coaching. Yet they are all wearing Timbers gear, representing the Timbers brand. But they are not representing well. The Timbers brand should mean something special, but it doesn't in the current set up --- at least, not in a soccer sense. In a marketing sense it is definitely selling more shirts.
Or how about this one:
Is the best team/coach always at the club with the most players? No. One of the best teams in the country came from a club with very few teams. And their players are being scouted by Euro scouts on a daily basis. Why? Because the club/coach developed a quality product.
But, you say, the bigger clubs have the most (insert college players, trophies, etc...):
Yep. And if you through enough wet noodles at a wall something is guaranteed to stick. But it is a game of chance when it needs to be a game of intent and purpose.
We need to start asking better questions.Comment

These are certainly more important questions than simply "who has the most players", but they still just scratch the surface.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
