[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well let parents decide! It seems that DA/ECNL directives are closed to the idea of playing locally once soccer activities resume, but at the end families are the ones to decide.  Again it is not only DMV is all the other states families that will be in a hardship  situation. Their priorities will be different. In a family budget Travel soccer is equivalent to entertainment or vacation, this will be at the bottom iof their list if not crossed out. [/quote]

Exactly how can they just decide to play locally?

Please, walk us through this process of how it happens.[/quote]

Under these extraordinary circumstances, why not reorganize the league regions or conference or whatever it is called based on distance.  Why a DA team needs to fly to play a Florida team?  Or why ECNL team needs to stay overnight to play a South Carolina team? 
What is behind the long distance travel?  
I wonder when most of  families in NJ, Ohio, Illinois, Louisiana expect to go back to normal.[/quote]

What DA local DA team is flying to Florida for anything but a showcase?

ECNL could in VA and MD but it would require both MD and VA to give up HS school soccer as MD HS soccer is a fall sport and VA it is a spring sport.

DA in the Mid Atlantic could realign to eliminate NJ/NY teams and realign the NJ/NY teams into the North East.

But other than that it wouldn't work.

The real key is just getting back out on the field. If that happens by fall then nothing really will change nor will it need to change as we are likely 80% back to normal. If there is no Fall soccer then there are bigger problems at hand than just soccer.

So, there is just no reason any of the leagues are going to change their makeup in response to this because to do so would solve nothing. If there is soccer in the fall they play. If they can't play soccer in the fall then re-drawing the maps are moot.

If things drag on and there is no soccer until there is a vaccine then much larger socioeconomic hurdles lay ahead and travel soccer in any form will be in pretty rough shape up and down the board regardless of league, club or team affiliation.[/quote]
