With schedule out, heard some families have reached out to coaches already to say they won’t do the away games. No it sure is that’s because distance or more evening games this year. By GPS our away games are 42, 48 and 50 minute/ (if no traffic). Is that standard time to go to rec games? How does it compare to travel?
For ncsl travel. U11 one away game is about an hour and 20 minutes. The other away games are probably in the 40-45 min range.
That's* travel*. The expectation is that rec games are played closer.
Really, with how 50+ teams in some division, its nonsense that they put zero effort into location. It looks like the away games are completely random and based on no criteria whatsoever.
Yes the poster asked how it compares to travel. So I provided that information for my kids team.

That's too far unless YOUR club is the one out in the boonies.
SFL used to prioritize games within a certain mile radius. We are Herndon and our away games were almost always Sterling, CYA, SYA etc.
If your kid plays division 1, expect games to be a little further away.
But 3 away games 40+ minutes away? No way. Your club should have pushed back on that when they saw the draft schedules.
The coach can tell his club/NCSL that the away games are too far and need to be rescheduled.
