You are naive if you believe that top DI programs don't take non-ECNL/DA players. I don't know any serious travel players with college ambitions playing in NCSL or ODSL. EDP and to a lesser extent, CCL, are the leagues. I know some clubs that field showcase teams that play in elite tournaments against ECNL teams. Pipeline consistently fields nationally competitive teams. Yes, ECNL is the ideal platform but you are not going to attract attention from UVA, UNC, Duke or PSU playing for a team in the ECNL's MA or NE that can't qualify for the Champions League. You are better off playing for Pipeline and going to ID Camps.

The point is to imagine a scenario where the ECNL/DA does not exist or if they do, it is consolidated while including other locally competitive teams and all league play is local. Save the travel for showcases and national playoffs. There is no need to drive 400+ miles for a league game where you beat an opponent by 5+ goals. Wake up! [/quote]

Meanwhile Pipeline is trying to get into ECNL. Go figure. 
In any event, next season, you will have the full-on MA and NE ECNL conferences available, plus another whole tier of ECNL RL action boasting a much smaller travel radius. And then your EDP's, CCL's and the multi-tiered NCLS as well, also with regional travel. Plenty of choices for the travel averse. Surely you can find a solution in here, or were you expecting ECNL and GDA to come to you?[/quote]

How many players per year in the DC area go to play at top
20 programs?  Versus how many play ECNL in DC area in a given year?  Just so we put all of this scholarship-chasing into perspective. [/quote]
