All good questions, but as a general matter, boys in DAs do not have the family time and money to spend to play ECNL with heavy travel, or at least there is less of it than on the girls side.  So it is entirely possible they will lose top players if they do this.  Of course, if there are more ECNL mid-atlantic teams, this matters less.  But then the question is why boys want to sign up for a North Carolina plus Virginia version of the CCL with plenty of uneven competition when there is a ton of potential competition right in Maryland, DC and NOVA.

FWIW as an Arlington boys DA parent, we'd leave if either ECNL (due to travel) or CCL (due to competition level). [/quote]

Same here, with concerns about ECNL competition level. EDP seems a better option.[/quote]
Which is perfectly logical.  ECNL gives you more access to a national league, playing in our region, then playoffs against the top teams in other regions with lots of college attention.  Girls side already established.  Boys side would be pulled up to this quickly and become a top recruiting league (I would think) for semi-pro, pro academies for MLS.  EDP is a decent league in an area, but so is CCL, ODSL, etc etc.  All local leagues if you don’t want to travel much.[/quote]
