Beyond the regular season schedule... I know the DA teams travel north for games and ECNL goes south for games. I have heard there are "showcases" that teams do. Do both DA and ECNL go to these? Is this basically just a tournament re-named to sound fancy? I can't imagine at U13 there is recruiting going on of 6th and 7th graders. How many do the teams do a year? I've heard that DA does a "bunch more" but that was from an ECNL loving dad who was trying to convince us ECNL is the best way to go.[/quote]

At U13 age ECNL actually does more showcases than DA.

Frankly it does not really make sense to do showcases that early.

At U13 both DA and ECNL have fall and spring schedules (The game schedules are available on the ECNL and DA websites.) At 15 and above Virginia ECNL teams only play in the Fall so as to not conflict with HS soccer schedules with the exception of showcases/championships. I realize it is hard to look that far ahead but the HS soccer factor will likely ultimately play into a lot of decisions. Look both at U13 and U18 schedules to get a sense of the difference. Realize that showcase games are often in addition to regular listed games. ECNL teams also play in non showcase/non ECNL tournaments. DA teams U14 and above do not.

While it is good to look at multiple options, I am curious why you are not considering current team as well for next year?
