Also, Bethesda will end up one of the top teams in the country because the team merged with a non-ECNL team that was already a top team.

Who is paying tens of thousands of dollars other than metro? My DD plays ecnl and we pay about the same as our friends playing on a top national league team.

Metro doesn’t pay tens of thousands. Fake news. Just stop.

Your saying that between the posted $, uniform costs, travel fees for any showcases (hotel/air/food), travel fees for any league games where a bus is used, your travel and hotels for games where a bus isn't used, and your travel to the showcases (assuming you go) that you won;t spend $10k?

Baltimore Celtic beat two DA teams in VDA Showcase and Pipeline has yet to lose to an ECNL team. SAC Blue beat several ECNL clubs. Please get over it. DA/ECNL is stronger than EDP/CCL but to argue that non-DA/ECNL aren't elite stupid.

Those results are from last February.
So weird to resurrect this thread based on that old link.

You are correct. ECNL in this area is NOT elite. It is watered down and offers more opportunities for kids to play in a "National" league.

Let me know when a good DA team (Not WSVA / MU) plays a local team and loses. I'd like to hear all about it!

So ECNL is not elite but the DA is? Simple truth is neither are. Both are watered down locally and nationally.
