[quote=Anonymous]I can tell you anything specific about what's going on with U13s now, but having a DD that's done both ECNL and DA, it's not a big difference in terms of travel and cost.  The one thing I'd suggest you look at is how the different clubs travel and how that fits into your plans.  Some clubs travel as a team, which means that the club (or the team manager) takes care of of transportation and lodging , other clubs make the parents take care of that, and some it's just the club for far away showcases.  And how clubs handle it does not appear to be a clear DA or ECNL split.  In terms of cost, you'll be writing a bigger check to the club for the first option but you can end up paying less overall since costs are shared (eg,  the hotel room is split between 3 or 4 players instead of each family getting a room). not to mention the time it frees up for you.  Of course, if you're traveling anyway to see your kid play, then it costs more.

As much as I like watching my DD, the club travel option appeals to me more because it gives our family the flexibility to decide which trips we're going on.[/quote]
