VDA ECNL teams will generally train 3-4 days per week. Additional sessions and/or breaks will be scheduled by the coaches as appropriate. 

ECNL seniors are allowed to participate in high school sports, including soccer. However, all decisions to participate in other activities must be made inclusive of the VDA staff with clear communications on conflicts, as well as physical and academic workload. 

Each event is scheduled as a three-day tournament (one game per day) throughout the year, which allows teams to play opponents from other parts of the country, and attract college coaches to the U15-U19 events.

In addition, VDA staff will select appropriate tournaments and showcases such as NCFC Showcase, VDA Showcase, Jefferson Cup, etc... for each team to compliment league play and increase college coach exposure. 

ECNL allows up to 30 players on each roster with no more than 18 on a game day roster. VDA expects to carry a full-time roster of approximately 18 players at U13-U15 age groups and 20-22 at U16-U19.

VDA will continue to have Developmental Players to provide opportunities for deserving players. Players must be on the PWSI or VSA ECNL Regional League roster to be eligible.

Roster flexibility in the ENCL allows VDA staff to work with players to create an individual development plan that includes training and matches to include providing meaningful minutes to players who are recovering from injury or have limited minutes on a given weekend.
