Arlington moves to ECNL- r

[Anonymous]

Email just came out. Out of the CCL.

[Anonymous]

In summary, Arlington Soccer announces the following league participation for our teams for the 2021-2022 seasonal year:

U13 - U19 Boys and Girls Academy Teams: Elite Clubs National League (ECNL)
U11 - U19 Boys and Girls Red Teams: ECNL Regional League (ECNL-RL)
All Other Travel Teams: National Capital Soccer League (NCSL)

[Anonymous]

The ECNL Regional League provides a platform and pathway to high-level competition in Virginia while offering opportunities for play regionally and nationally. The ECNL Regional League has an extensive presence in the Northern Virginia area which will allow teams more local games. More details about the league and the division structure will be shared shortly. This change will align our regional and national platform under ECNL - the premier youth soccer league organization in the country.



Looks like it will be just Va ....guess we will still have the long drives to Richmond...so CCL lovers will be happy!

Moving my ? over here:

What kind of travel is expected for ECNL-R is this the S.Carolina thing ? How far away are we talking and home many games will be local?

Are parents upset by this; the potential in long distant travel for games?

Virginia only.
There is one ECNL-R team in VB, one in Williamsburg, two in Richmond, and the rest in NOVA.

I kind of hope it will be less not more...just Va does not sound too bad. So let’s see...Loudoun, McLean, VDA, Richmond United, BRYC should follow Arlington. Anyone know who else in Va moving to ECNL-r? Add maybe two more teams?

It would be great if they could do a north and south league ...maybe Richmond could have two teams?

I hope they make the ENCL r as something that is less time consuming and intense(ie allow the girls to play other sports) vs ECNL. If they did that it could be alternative to ECNL for girls who are not ready to give up other activities at u13.

The feeder clubs to Richmond United are already in ECNL-R. (Richmond Kickers and Strikers).

Seems like about the same travel as CCL.

Hasn't Loudon already announced they are moving to ECNL-RL, or was that just their Red teams, and Black will stay in CCL?
