[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a son get them to a MLS next HG team if they can make it. Outside of that right now ECNL and AD are a toss up but seems like ECNL boys is will die out over the next couple of years if the ecnl clubs can't pull players away from the AD clubs. For girls ECNL is still the bigger draw in the DMV but with so many of the clubs switching to GA over the past couple of years the landscape is quickly changing. Its great for the girls overall by increasing the pool of kids that could potentially play college when older but it does dilute the pool of players so regionally and nationally it will be tougher for either to really compete over the long term.

I can see a scenario where it will raise the overall level of players in the area but that will remain to been seen. It certainly seems to have raised the competitive fervor among parents lol[/quote] Somebody showed on DCUM earlier that on boys side ECNL and MLS1 not including actual MLS academies has similar numbers playing in college and similar numbers of top teams. No reason to chase an MLS badge.[/quote]

100%. Very significant number of ECNL boys players play in college - 30% of D1 and 50% of D3. AD (former EDP and NAL) can’t pull those numbers despite the badge - that’s because they are second teams of former EDP NAL and eCRL players- it will take 5-7 years for AD to make inroads - and the presence of HG AND academy isnt helping as they are essentially tier 3. There is a significant delta between AD and ECNL 1st teams. Especially in this area. [/quote] yet in this area Boys ECNL teams have lost to AD teams.[/quote]

In my area, an ECNL RL team beat HG and AD teams.  Another two RL teams beat AD teams.[/quote]
