[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this thread shows the very frustration with soccer in DC proper. If every club leader, entrenched and new, could drop their egos, focus on development, and create one District Club, no matter the name, it could be a powerhouse, or at least have the chance to be one.

Until that point, you have DCSC, DCYFC (or whatever its new name is), PPA (except for the spendy parts in MOCO), DCXI, City, DC Way, WCU, and whatever the new Brookland FC is going to be competing for talent and field space.  I am sure I missed a few.

The number of times my now 16 year old who plays with his school team with kids across a bunch of clubs says if we could take the top 3-4 kids from each club for our travel team, we could be gangsta.  Until then, we will drive to the outside the beltway netherlands. He is not wrong.[/quote]

This extrapolates into the rec and to use Arlingtons term ADP model.  Having a unified pipeline or at least structure of 12 rec teams to 8 in between (ADP) teams to 4 Club/Travel teams with a top team to aspire to (ECNL/ENCLR/MLSN whatever) creates a healthier pipeline and field allocation process.  Until then, clubs are going to rely on old friend sin DPR, legacy permits and overspending on Fields at RFK permits for half a field and six teams.  Kids lose. Directors win.[/quote]
