[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, currently there are no elite local leagues but it could be created (temporary) under extraordinary circumstances (at lest for the next year). Things are going to be different for many clubs and families (not only in DMV but in many other states). USYS Cancelled 2020 national and regional championships in part because families will be struggling.[/quote]

They didn’t cancel championships because families are struggling, they canceled because there is a pandemic and there is way to much uncertainty that things will be open enough to keep the schedule. The last I checked there are no local leagues playing either.

The longer this goes on the more likely small clubs go bankrupt as well as small local leagues.

There are not enough players to create a local elite league. There are not enough players for the 7 “elite” clubs now. Making things local is not going to miraculously reveal 70 more elite players per age group. [/quote]

Does anyone know from under what rock these folks come?

!. USYS absolutely canceled the regional and national competitions because it felt the economic strain might be too much for families. There were other considerations but the economy was one of them. If you don't get that fact then you are one o the reason why "pay to play" is killing our global competitiveness.

2. The entire sports infrastructure in the country is changing. From Professional to college to youth sports, things are changing. Colleges are already trying to get the NCAA to reduce the number of sports required. Schools that don't have football or basketball to fund other sports will havea difficult time maintaining budgets.

3. There are more than enough players to maintain a local elite league. Adding a half dozen elite non-ECNL/DA teams on top of the ECNL/DA teams will complete the league. I would recommend that the bottom dwellers in both the DA and ECNL play in a lower-tiered league. When there are 25-30 commits from two teams going to top college programs (NCAA tournament qualifiers and/or Power 5 programs) coming from two teams in the DMV on top of 50+ others from U18/19 teams going DI, you have more than enough talent to form an elite league.

Seriously, you not to get treated because the ECNL/DA did a number on you if you don't recognize that there can me competitive soccer without ECNL/DA.
