It isn't hard to understand and neither is the solution. Play in NCSL and work within those parameters to create your local schedule utopia.

You clearly do not understand the philosophy behind CCL or NPL's governing body U.S. Club Soccer and how these leagues are very very different than WAGS, NCSL or ODSL.

The whole point of these leagues is to create a club centric model that focuses on development. These leagues give clubs that ability to freely move players up or down in season in order ensure that the player is properly challenged. CCL in particular has very strong anti poaching rules that force clubs to develop more and recruit players less from rival clubs.

The fact that game schedules fro both leagues are Club vs Club allows a coach to manage both A and B teams without conflict, or different teams all together. This offers coaches the opportunity to see more of their programs players on game day.

WAGS, NCSL and ODSL on the other hand are 'team centric" leagues that are purely results oriented for the team with promotion and relegation. This model ignores the fact that a club has A and B teams and makes player movement in season prohibitive. These leagues only care about the singular "team" and not the group of kids in the larger cohort.

If you took ten minutes of your precious time and understood the basic philosophical differences between the leagues the "why's of it all" might make more sense to you. Clearly, you are an uneducated consumer in this regards. Did you not look to see what teams were in your league before you signed onto the team? If not, and you are unhappy you have only yourself to blame. If you did know, and you still signed on and are unhappy, you still have only yourself to blame. But CCL and NPL are not going to change for you, accept and drive to VA Beach, or leave the team and drive to Winchester. But whatever you do decide, please just shut up.[/quote]

Stop with the development crap you obviously work for a CCL club. If you knew what your talking about you would know they hardly ever move players up or down after their initial assessment at age 9. Only reason clubs do what they do is money. So they can group all the teams in one place on the same day, its about hiring fewer coaches and get more out of field time, has nothing to do with development. [/quote]
