Chase, you've got it right. There is no need for youth to play youth soccer on a national level. The big 3 sports don't travel this much. It's not just a CESA who has this travel thing all screwed up, it's every big youth club in the country. You can play at the highest level possible playing regionally in the southeast in R3 premier league. One of the players who played ECNL in Seattle last week said their first 2 games were teams they had already played in our area, one of them several times. (it was CASL from Raleigh). They also played a team in ECNL in TEXAS final four showcase that was from their R3 premier league. (Charlotte)How many CESA kids are getting recruited because of traveling to these events west of the Mississipi (NONE). How many CESA players are playing college soccer west of the Mississippi (Not sure, but probably none). You're looking at between $3000 & $4000 a year to play at the highest level in a club.
