[quote=Anonymous]On the girls side, EDP is a better league than CCL or NPL. However, it is almost all MD, PA, and NJ team so lots of travel. NoVA has done a poor job in concentrating competition due to all the leagues (ccl, npl, ncsl, odsl). These leagues were formed for benefit of clubs and coaches and not players and competition. Similar to a lot of decisions in youth soccer. US Soccer makes this even worse by perpetuating both USYS and US Club and thereby ECNL and DA and the dual leagues at the state and local levels from there on down.  US club should be dissolved and ECNL and DA merged. Therefore one set of regional league for elite of the elite. Then also regional leagues for top next level down teams, then state associations under Usys would regulate leagues in a pecking order within geographic areas. For metro areas like DC, multiple state associations can partner to create local metro leagues.

This would reduce travel and create greater leveling in competition. Tournaments and showcases would be used for traveling distances and playing teams outside your normal area. Clubs banding together to form new leagues so that coaching is more convenient would not be sanctioned by the state level governing bodies.

This would allow clubs like Maryland Rush, Bethesda, McLean, byrc, loudoun, fcv, Arlington, SYC, etc. to play their top teams (not ecnl/da) against each other with minimal travel. [/quote]
