Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3516397, member: 153"] Why would they leave DA for ECNL? Easier competition? Then you're ceding ground and players to the DA teams in your region that can recruit players by offering better competition. As for the MLS clubs, they are generally among the better clubs, but by and large they lose games to the non-MLS affiliated clubs. Our club finished above some MLS this year, they are ahead of NYC FC, New England Revs. You can see the standings here: [URL='http://www.ussoccerda.com/sam/standings/league/standings.php?leagueId=MTIzNg%3D%3D']U.S. Soccer Development Academy[/URL] Montreal Impact is very strong but otherwise... most of the teams are competitive with MLS. Our club has also put 6 players into MLS in recent years. [/QUOTE]
