[quote=DCUdad][quote=SoccerCzar]This is how I see it. The top Clubs are the MLS Academies ... Under them are the MLS Next teams ... Right under them is ECNL ... The next level is EDP D1...[/quote] This is basically correct, although there are significant variations within those levels, and some overlap. Bethesda and Armour are generally better MLSNext clubs than the other DMV options at this point. Arlington is a better ECNL club than many others, etc; and Arlington might be better than some of the MLSNext clubs nearby. You can look at which clubs are sending players along to MLS academies like DC United, and which are sending players on to D1 schools to tease this difference out. In general, "better competition" is the gravity that attracts better players and better coaches, which creates a virtuous cycle over time. So expect the gap between MLSNext and ECNL to grow, not shrink, as time goes on.[/quote]
