[quote=Anonymous]If the question is the 2004 Arlington red team, then comparing u15s to u15s is immaterial.  The  question is how does their current schedule (50+) games compare to what they would face in the DA, which is 30 games, 6 of which are showcase games.  So at most, you have 12 regular season away games, half of which will still be in the greater DC area.

You don't have the three or four tournaments with 2 games a day and you don't have whole weekends tied up with a state or regional game on Saturday and a CCL game on Sunday.  You have one game except on the odd weekend when you might double up due to a longer drive.

Don't get me wrong, having a chance to go to USYSA nationals is an amazing opportunity for any player and it reflects an amazing amount of dedication and sacrifice on behalf of the players and their families.  I just think that those who say DA is heavy on travel and 4 days of training a week is too much, don't really understand the total time commitments and the grind that is ECNL and USYSA elite travel soccer.
