[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All are good points, but I think NCSL is unlikely to regain its former status.  I think that EDP is a more likely destination for top programs than NCSL.  EDP is an open league, with multiple divisions, promotion/relegation, flexible scheduling and a pathway to national level.  NCSL does some of the same things.  Just my two cents. [/quote]

I really like the new EDP structure, but I don't see how it could take the place of NCSL or similar.  It seems (https://www.usyouthsoccer.org/us-youth-soccer-announces-new-leagues-structure---the-us-youth-soccer-national-leagues/) that the league takes the place of the old Region 1, and funnels teams to the National league, but it doesn't have a local component.

It is very difficult to make it to the National league so only an handful of local teams would make it.   In terms of top divisions (below the National League), they are geographically based so that cuts down on travel.  You won't see a Virginia team travelling to New England.  Lower divisions are also geographically based, you will see a mix of teams from Maryland and Virginia in those divisions.  In terms of travel, it is not that different from NCSL, except at the very top level.  [/quote]
