However, players will travel once when they are committed enough to reach for the top level.  There are so many examples, so MU doesn't have to stick to the player pool of GF and Reston.  MU will be a destination for players looking for the top training environment, and a lot of players really don't care about high school soccer.  They'd rather stay with their club teams.

And the DA is the top of the pyramid.  A 10 month training program is better for players, and it is the only primary recruitment place of YNTs.  That will draw the better players.  Many of us saw that whole process unfold with the boys' DA.  The CCL was formed to fight it, and it wasn't a good league in the beginning, but with the boys' DA, over time, everything changed.  That is inevitable on the girls' side too.   The ECNL teams will eventually become DA feeders.  MU has former BRYC and McLean players, and the drive hasn't been an issue.    [/quote]

So, I assume coaches/loyalists who tell coaches what's being said on this forum are out there.  If so, here's a question that insiders could answer and might help the process for next year:

Where will MU practice next year?

Do they have any intention of telling potential players (and current players, for that matter) before ID sessions?  The easy answer is "oh, we don't know -- we are at the mercy of field scheduling and partner clubs" but I suspect leadership knows what they WANT.  Do they want to keep things in Reston?  Seems like signs are no given that Stoddart and Potomac players may complain the drive is too much...  As PP said -- at the top level players ARE willing to travel, but everyone has a limit based on managing getting to practice with school and other family commitments.  Seems like this issue would actually be the biggest at the youngest age groups where they are trying to build.... Kids can't drive themselves to practice.[/quote]
