[quote=Anonymous]Not to reopen the whole ECNL vs. DA debate, but as the parent of a child who has played DA and ECNL, I don't see the draw of being in DA being that huge. There's no real difference in the relative quality or travel demands between the two leagues,  Sure, for some few parents, they will claim the DA is a better fit (tangent - I believe most of those with this opinion have a strong (and in many case, well-warranted) disdain for high school soccer, with the remaining parents believing (without warrant) that US Soccer has their kids' best interest at heart) but for most kids and parents, it's about the club (and team within that club) that is the best fit.  Most of the FCV parents I know aren't with the club because they're DA; they're there because of the training and competitive teams, regardless of what league FCV is in.  They were there (or were already interested) when the club switched from ECNL to DA, and they would stay if the club switched back to ECNL.

Now for those who want the DA experience but can't make FCV work talent-wise or traffic-wise, then MU remains an option for next year but if you're really that anti-ECNL, then next year at this time, you're going find yourself either at Arlington or trying out for Loudoun's or McLean's B teams.
