So you agree with my list?
My thought would be, after the addition of DA teams from DC to South Florida;
ECNL Mid-Atlantic North = VA
ECNL Mid-Atlantic South = Carolinas
ECNL Southeast would pickup at least three more DA teams and halve that into a North/South.

2. CLUE: When a coach of a YNT (NC Courage) leaves the DA for ECNL it should have told you something.
3. VA going south plays Spring HS soccer while MD going north plays Fall HS soccer. As a result, they will never be in the same conference.
3. NOVA already has 4 ECNL teams. They will not go to (7) with the addition of FCV, Arlington and METRO. Mclean will argue that they are suffering because of Arlington DA and Loudoun will argue they are suffering because of FCV.
Now, I believe that FCV will get the bid and Mclean will benefit with the Arlington not getting a bid. However, I truly believe that Arlington should get the bid because they are a huge organization with a true pipeline and they will complete all the "corners" of NOVA (Loudoun (Loudoun), Prince William (VDA), Arlington (Arlington), BRYC / McClean (Fairfax).
Either way, Mclean will ultimately benefit from being squeezed in between Ashburn and Arlington.
Metro will not get ECNL. Again, Mclean is the beneficiary.
4. Current MA conference has 11 teams. With the addition of NC Courage and or FCV/Arlington, that will push the two South Carolina teams to the SE conference where they will they will join Tophat, et al. If both Arlington and FCV get a bid, it will push Charlotte to the SE conference. The SE conference will then be a very good conference. Less travel.
5. Losing Charlotte and CESA and picking up Arlington / FCV is a wash.
6. Travel for the MA division should never require a overnight hotel stay unless its a double header weekend.
7. I believe more regional showcases are in the future so you can been seen by local college coaches (MA Showcase, SE Showcase, NE Showcase, etc). No need to go to FL, AZ to be seen by east coast schools.
MA division could look like this:
Richmond
VDA
Mclean
BRYC
Loudoun
FC Virginia
Arlington
NC Courage
NCFC (Courage 2nd team per argument)
NC Fusion
Wilmington
CESA and Charlotte dropping to SE conference
I would be ok with that conference, great competition for the most part and no more traveling to SC. That’s a big win!
I could see CESA and SCUFC moving to the SE conference regardless of what happens in DMV. North Carolina would have NC Courage, NCFC, NC Fusion, Wilmington and CISC.....could also potentially add CSA who no longer has a home in DA.
