[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolutely no reason for these NOVA ECNL teams to have to travel to Charlotte or Raleigh to get a game.  You should feel blessed that Covid put a damper on that this spring.  We are not ECNL, but have played some of the Carolina ECNL teams in tournaments.  There are only a couple I would say are close to the same level as the NOVA/MD ECNL teams.  There are even better teams in CCL than down there.[/quote]

It is if that’s the way the league is set up. The point is there are other options and leagues that don’t require that type of travel yet parents choose to sign their kids up for it then have the gall to complain about it which is annoying. Do y’all hear yourselves? SMH[/quote]

The last time I checked, parents are free to complain about the leagues and those of us who have been through this with multiple kids are free to urge parents with younger kids to choose a better path. In the younger age groups, there is nothing gained by making your kids sit in a car for 2-3 hours each weekend to play a soccer game that in many cases won't be competitive. Don't do it, especially if your kid is on a B or C team. In fact, unless you are at a large club that actually values the B team and makes effort to develop players, consider whether being on a travel team is necessary at all. The only way to incentivize change is for more people opt out of this maddening system.[/quote]
