Congratulations to those girls. This is an example of a super team formed when there were only 2 club options for top level soccer in the area. The talent used to be very concentrated. For the younger girls the talent is spread across 6-7 DA/ECNL teams.[/quote]

Your point is valid but I argue that even so, more girls have access to more of these teams. The talent is not actually diluted but accreted. For example, girls who lived in places that did not have access to ECNL team and were forced to play for an independent club, might now have access to ECNL/DA and can take advantage of that opportunity. Think of kids in places like Frederick that can reach Loudoun (ECNL) or FCV (DA) in 30-40 minutes. If you live in Herndon, Chantilly or Vienna and were a start for one of those clubs, you have multiple options. So I think the dilution will take place at the non-ECNL/DA clubs. Players at SAC or Ellicott City now have three ECNL/DA clubs that are accessible to them. It starts to happen at u15/u16 as player start committing themselves to the college recruitment process.
