[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by this ECNL-R move, especially on the girls side.  My DDs have played against the 2011 and 2009 teams.  Unless there is some significant dramatic improvement in quality, they are going to get killed in ECNL-R league play.[/quote]

It seems like the idea behind this is sort of a long-range one: Right now, the best players leave the club at older ages to move to more competitive ones. They seem to think playing against ECNL-R teams will help make DCSC more attractive longer-term for more players. I think they also hope it might make it more appealing than some of the other smaller D.C.-based ones. It sounds like no one is expecting good results for the first season, but they want fewer of their top-team players to move out of the club entirely. Eventually, if that all works out, the quality should improve.

Unfortunately, I think they had to agree to move the top team at every age, for boys and for girls, into ECNL-R, so it could be sort of ugly with some of the teams. [/quote]
