[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](V)CCL was started because the elite teams outside of NOVA (Beach, Kickers/Strikers/SOCA, etc) had no local competition. Beach drew every top player in a 30 mile radius - the second best team in the area was Beach's B team. So they started a league to give themselves meaningful competition. The NOVA clubs (excluding RFCs brief tenure) didn't have the balls or the wits to create their own variant, they joined the existing VCCL as the "North", then everything kind of imploded with the development academy and you are left with this frankenstein CCL that doesn't make as much sense for the NOVA clubs.

CCL serves a purpose - its current problem is having north and south divisions, but cross play.  Outside of that, it's reasonably coherent and the distances are reasonable.

WAGS is the problem for travel on a regular basis because the divisions aren't done geographically, even at the younger levels where they aren't tiered.  That's how you end up with Waldorf vs. Winchester and 2 hour's each way.  As I said up-thread, for a D1 game in each age group that may be appropriate, but there's no point in that  for unranked ages (U11 and below) or even for divisions below the top 2 or 3.  [/quote]
