[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not have more competitive teams play LOCALLY. There are tons of good players in the DMV. You don’t need to go to Connecticut for competition. Travel teams make sense in rural areas, not here. There’s a balance between rec and travel. The travel part is just a gimmick. [/quote]

Only top national level teams travel to "Connecticut."  ECNL Regional League is Virginia teams only.  NCSL teams play other teams in northern VA.  The "travel part" is more about a season with 10 months of practices and games and a dedicated paid coach, tournaments, etc. [/quote]

True re: ECNL RL for Virginia teams.  Look at the Maryland teams.  Regular trips to PA, NJ, DE, etc.  That type of travel is ridiculous and not necessary given the hundreds of talented kids playing in this area at any age level.  For the few kids who are truly elite (like, a small handful in the entire DMV), then sure, let them travel to get that level of competition.  But the vast, vast majority of kids don't need to go that far.  [/quote]
