My daughter's team drove to Charlotte last month for an R3PLE game with CASL. My daughter's team flew to Seattle last summer for an ECNL game with... CASL. To borrow a line from Hobo, "ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?"



Isn't participating in the ECNL not so much about whom you play but what college coaches you have the opportunity to play in front of? For example, I doubt there were any coaches from any west coast schools at your daughter's r3pl game in Charlotte against CASL but I'm guessing there were many attending the ECNL event when they played CASL in Seattle, IF anyone on her team were interested in going to college out that way. I think it might be just as much if not more about greater exposure than about which teams you're playing. Granted many players may not be wanting more exposure, at that price. Guess it's a choice... guess you have to take the "bad" (if you see it that way) with the good.... or not.
