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]

FWIW I think in 2 years boys ECNL will be much better. Good teams are signing up. If you have an older boy EDP might be better for now but if you have a younger one I think ECNL will end up being better. Currently most EDP teams are Maryland and up north and have a different HS season. You probably never considered HS soccer because you have been brainwashed by the DA that it's a waste but I think you will be surprised at how many boys are going to consider doing it now that it is no longer forbidden.[/quote]

Whatever was said on this Board by Arlington (U12 red-obsessed) haters, we are not with Arlington for the badge but for the quality of coaching and of the competition.
Stop with your patronizing, DA was not an obstacle to HS soccer, with many players doing both, even of the second is crap. 
Enjoy your shiny ECNL badge, South Carolina, and your college scholarship.

Really? Heard that all of the 2008 Arlington girls have already reached out to other clubs. Maybe your team is leaving you behind

^^^^ why are you such a sh** head! Do you get off trying to bully people. You must have really been made fun of as a kid. Just shut the F*** up this is a horrible time for so many and because you don’t get off enough you appear to need to get off by making others sweat. Get a life! And have the guts to say your name if your going to be such a dick. [/quote][/quote]
