[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charging approximately $3500+ per year that does not even include league fees is significantly higher than what you normally pay for non-DA or non-ECNL teams in our area.   Keep in mind for some Barca parents it is the cost of playing in ODSL while for others it is the cost of EDP.

ECNL/girls DA costs could easily escalate above that amount with showcases, etc, but the parents do it because they think ECNL/DA provides a superior platform for college recruitment.

As for location, I don't think it is much of a handicap.  
 Barca has kids that commute from Maryland, Arlington, Woodbridge, etc.  DCU and Loudoun are also targeting the same location, so the lack of talent in the area is not an excuse.  [/quote]

Agree with the talent point.  Lots of talent in that area.  That's not a good excuse.[/quote]

As the pp stayed in the really well-written post/analysis a few posts back, you aren’t getting parents that are going to drive that far (from Maryland, Arlington, West VA, etc)with little kids , e.g., below U12/13, unless they have an older sibling/siblings in the program.  When just starting out- 99% of kids go to their home Club with school and neighborhood friends and parents aren’t going to drive that far until the kid shows it’s something they want to specialize in.[/quote]

Who cares about younger ages recruitment?  Most of these kids will get replaced by better players once they get older.   [/quote]
