[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can VDA exist after this?  I'm not sure about this so be gentle...VDA only exist because of agreements they made with other clubs, correct? The get their field space from PWSI and VSA, correct? So if the DA goes down, they would lose their field space and infrastructure? [/quote]

That is a good and separate point, the same as Armour.  But VDA presumably will continue to exist for ECNL, so why not keep infrastructure and principles together for boys side?

Here's a pretty good local EDP division for boys teams :  Bethesda, SAC Premier Blue, Pipeline, Baltimore Union, Achilles, Total Futbol, VDA, Arlington, Alexandria, SYC.

The great thing about EDP is that a really good team from an otherwise OK club can be in a top division.  None of this nonsense where teams are in top divisions merely because they belong to a strong club and good teams excluded merely because other club teams are viewed as weaker.[/quote]

Every Club, event the big ones have weaker age groups.  It should not be based on the "Club". It should be the 'team' and pro/rel helps with this.[/quote]

Exactly.  All the clubs, including the MLS clubs, should be in one set of leagues with pro/rel.  Higher divisions could cover as large a geographic area as necessary to esnure sufficient competition and lower divsions would be more geographically limited.  That way the best players and the best coaches would naturally bubble to the top and get the level of competition they need.  Plus the MLS clubs would get the benefit of a much wider funnel of players bubbling up to them instead of the current situation where you have kids inside DA who have a chance to bubble up, and kids outside DA who never get a look in despite plenty of them being as good as many of the DA players.[/quote]

Wake up guys, you're in the U.S., the country where even professional leagues do not face relegation and mismanagement is inconsequential, if not bragged about.
