[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both leagues offer essentially the same package $10K+ per year for the privilege to play with miles and miles of travel.  [/quote]

Ugg.  One needs to go an dit makes no difference which one it is .  They are basically the same.[/quote]

Why does one need to go? So that you can have localized powerhouse teams? That does not benefit the country or the players. [/quote]

Deeper roster is for better training.  Cant learn to execute higher level play without a talented team of kids to successfully execute the higher level play.  A few motivated kids on a roster is not enough.  Less dilution would help.[/quote]

At a minimum it wold put more of these teams in one league so that when they do have a competition it would involve less tie wasted on far flung stupid travel. [/quote]

But the trouble is for congested areas like ours commute to practice becomes the barrier. Say you collapsed all the local ecnl clubs and left the DA clubs. The majority of those ECNL players do not commute to the DA locations ... just too far.  It might be worse in other places. You would have to convert the ecnl clubs to DA to retain enough players. At that you havent gained much of anything.[/quote]

And that reality is what always gets lost in all of this pie in the sky talk. Sure if you have a really talented player with real college playing potential then when they are older they will figure out a way to do the hassle of a long practice commute. However, at the younger ages it just is not going to happen and nor should it. The filter should be at the oldest age groups anyway, not he youngest.[/quote]
