both weekend trips with one game Sat; one game Sunday.
The reason a VA/MD conference is bad is you have to shoehorn all the cross state games in a tiny window in the winter when neither is is HS season.
Will it be an 11 game season? Meaning you play each team once and only go to Raleigh or Charlotte?

Also since all age groups in both GA and ECNL play the same place the same day, it doesn’t really matter if your kids in high school or not you’ll still have the same travel at U13 and U14.

Keep going Team travel, team manager or not veo/trace
Conference being realigned to match school seasons. Will be announced in summer. Similar to how ECNL breaks down conference.
So if a GA team claims no overnights, there might be an asterisk for an NC team or two? No judgment, playing at the top team level is going to involve some travel. Do I wish MD and VA would handshake and make the same soccer seasons? 100%
No overnights? In GA or ECNL? That’s a lie. I’ve seen it in a certain club’s website. I’m sure they will rebrand now and talk about all of the amazing things that come with overnight travel. Whatever they’re doing, it’s the best!
One VA GA club definitely espouses the benefits of saving money on overnights for GA league games.
But now the overnight trips will be a major benefit! Whatever fits the narrative!
They used to say that ECNL was the best and that every player should join Virginia Union. Then they got into the GA and told everybody that ECNL isn’t good and that the GA is the best. Last year overnight travel was bad. This year, overnight travel will be the best.
I cannot wait to hear about what’s next!

No different then how ECNL is broken up now. Of course there is going to be travel. Not understanding your comment?
