You must be a Bethesda parent who lives in Chevy Chase and probably gets a suite at the Hyatt or Hilton near Rutgers and probably tips the toll worker and drives the standard Chevy Chase issue gas-guzzling family SUV. The rest of us Americans who live in real America find more reasonable accommodations and use EZ Pass and eat at Wawa and drive cars that can reach PDA and Match fit on half a tank of gas. The other trips are either day trips or we find reasonable accommodations.

A day trip to NC? Don’t think so. Re read the prior post. Closely. But yes based on your ignorance I can see why I can afford the Courtyard instead of the dive motel with condoms dispensers in the bathroom and the magic fingers bed.

Chevy Chase, Baltimore, suburban Philly and SoNJ are all-day trips and you can find nice hotels for reasonable rates. I can't speak to SC or NC.

Yes. Agreed. Although for trips to Philly and NJ, for the VA clubs, the league and clubs do try to get the teams to stay in a hotel at the “ECNL rate” which is never the cheapest. Especially for tournaments. You can violate their policy and stay cheaper but not sure you want to drive back and forth each day for Fri, Sat, Sun games.

We had ecnl approved hotels that were far away and expensive. Until the travel agency used by ecnl learned how to negotiate a cheap rate for a hotel a reasonable distance, do what you want. Often times a better option can be found with a few minutes of searching on your phone.

You must have never played ECNL before Covid. Teams generally require team travel which is a part of the team fees. On average these trips cost $500 for just your kid. YOU don't get the choice of finding "reasonable accommodations."

This year will likely limit team travel but the following year should be back to business as usual.

Oh stop.

I also want a car that gets 1000 miles to the tank. Can you let me know which car you drive?

Yes, some ecnl clubs do this.
Bethesda doesn’t do this anymore, due to too many issues (from the pre covid year too).

Even so- it wasn’t $500. And that was also before the two divisions were created for the northeast conference.

You have it completely backwards. Leagues like ECNL and gal only exist because a customer base with sufficient income wants the travel leagues and is willing to pay for it. If there weren't enough demand for them the leagues would never exist.

HS is soccer is what drives MD and VA teams from aligning divisions at all levels of league play. This affects all DMV leagues in HS years.

They combined for the boys? Why not girls? Both genders have HS soccer

Our club hasn't told us and the ECNL website doesn't list the boys re-org. I'd love it to be true, anyone have any more information on it.
