4. I really haven't seen anyone make a case for CCL or VaNPL. I've heard the argument that "well, CCL clubs win State Cups," but would they somehow NOT win State Cups if they were in EDP or NCSL?

5. Even the main argument for club-vs-club matchups -- the notion of having the technical staff and all the A-team players (with parents driving to one place as long as two or more kids are A-teamers) in one place -- seems dead now that we're not talking about A teams. If you have a DA or ECNL presence, surely your technical director is seeing a bunch of those games rather than traveling with you to Virginia Beach to see the B teams.

So while this has indeed been an interesting discussion, it seems like it's mostly about the role of EDP and NCSL.

Can anyone make the case for the elite club-v-club leagues? Or have they simply run their course?[/quote]

No one really cares about or wants to defend these leagues which are a club construct.  Outside of DA, no one I know has taken their kid to play for a club because it was in a certain league. [/quote]

Actually, I know of parents who have chosen either CCL or ECNL when their kids didn't make DA, depending on geographic options.  McLean Boys ECNL is often talked about as a good option when their kids don't make DA.  Before there was ECNL, CCL was the go to.  It's not the league itself (any more than it is with the DA).  It's more the quality of the teams that are known to be in that club.

I half expect ECNL will gobble up CCL before it's all said and done, because that is effectively what seems to be happening.
