[quote=Anonymous]"If you are a talented ex-DA player, why are you automatically going to BRYC and/or Loudoun? To play in ECNL with a worse team and worse coaching? I can understand if there are a group of players going in an age group with their coach. But just going to an inferior club so you can play in a tougher league isn't necessarily the best choice. You would likely be playing with lesser talent and against teams much better than yours. It's a hard call for whoever has to make it.

And, no, I don't have a kid in this situation. Just curious why leaving is slam dunk."

For the older age groups trying to play in college it simply boils down to getting the most E X P O S U R E!  Notice I said most.  Yes, these other leagues will have some exposure, though limited.  And truly elite players will be found, regardless of where they are.  Case in point, the number of international players in collegiate soccer.  But the reality is thatnot every player that aspires to play college ball is elite.  In any case, the ECNL will now be the #1 destination for the college scouting community.  Period.  Any other league or venue will be second rate, an afterthought.  The most elite ex-DA players will most likely seek to find new homes at existing ECNL clubs, again to maximize exposure - unless they've already had offers and can stay put, if they choose, and can now choose to play High School ball, which would be less demanding.  So, the most impacted by all of this will be those good, but not-so elite players, who may be on the brink, but yet to hit their stride.  Basically, the majority of players, if we're being honest.  The elite players will be found, regardless.  The good players can benefit from as most exposure as they can get, playing in the best platform and against forseeably, the best competition.
