They could have organized it by region where the travel to another club's home field wouldn't have been more than a 20 minute ride. oh well.


so it would be smarter to play more teams from a wider population demographic and enhance covid exposure/spread opportunity?


I said 20 minutes, how much wider of a demographic is that? That region could be Arlington, McLean, PAC, Alexandria, LMVSC, Villareal, SYC as an example. If each one of those clubs hosts it, participation is going to be limited to their own teams plus maybe another club or two at best. Well for that you might as well set-up scrimmages for your teams instead of paying $$$ to play the same teams over and over again. I just said, have one centralized organizer to bring everyone together.

It's a winter league. Last thing I want to do is travel in the winter weather to another city >60 minutes to play an essentially meaningless game in the cold.

Local matches are fine for a few months.

Putting these programs together will not work. Some will not be able to travel from state to state at this time. Also money is to be made and these guys are not sharing that.

Why would that be dumb? Plenty of people choose rec leagues with local games for their kids.

It's not the end of the world to travel 20 minutes for a game, but if it means my kids spend more time traveling than playing it's a waste of time and environmentally unfriendly.

kind of dumb to call it dumb without doing it yourself


I'm not in the business of putting a league together but there would be a lot more teams in every age group if it was centralized versus a club getting a few teams and another club getting a few other teams.
