DC Soccer Club

I'm trying to understand why/how ECNL gave DCSC a RL "badge" and maybe the answer is they will take all regional comers. They just moved some of their younger Blue Teams to EDP this Spring. Most of their boys 2nd-3rd teams are in NCSL 4 and below. Their 08-09 etc teams are in NCSL low divisions. Is this a shiny objects thing? To be fair the girls are in higher NCSL divisions but still getting beat there and in low EDP divisions.

Right now people are traveling more than they need to for RL. It’s just not necessary to go to NJ from MD for that 2nd tier, for example. Maybe stuff like this helps that.

Is there any ecnl documentation that makes a club ecnl or ecnl r worthy? Dcsc has some shiny age groups [2011 blue boys] but many more clunkers. Maybe the ECNL org can be the process to get DCs 8 clubs united under one.

It looks like they take training facilities, financial stability, coaching, and records/tournament wins of specific age groups [U13-U18] into consideration.

Those Jersey trips can be tenuous especially after tough losses to NJ teams and another 3-4hrs back in the car, but if you don't get off the bench at least the car doesn't spell bad too
