| MY DD was born in 2007 but she has a late birthday, so while majority of 07 kids are in HS this year, my DD is still in middle. Last month I emailed the DOC of our club because I hadn't seen nor heard anything about practices. We paid close to 3k in fees and now I'm finding out that my DD season will actually start in the Spring. I would like to know what other clubs are doing for those kids who are trapped. I'm also pissed that I'm paying alot of money for 1 season and tournaments/showcases. |

| Is this in the DMV area? Seems very odd. Our team had team meetings, pre season camps and practices starting in late July (so really only had a month off). How are you just finding out mid Sept? |

Our club offers practice for trapped players but no games. |

Did you really ask "is this the dmv" area on a blog called DC urban mom and dads? |

People post here from all over the US. There's even some forums dedicated to other areas - Chicago, San Fran, etc. And guess what people who aren't moms or dads post on these forums all the time. |

Guess what. Most are from the dmv. |

| Isn't the HS season in the spring up here? At least, for the public school plebes? |

HS Soccer in MCPS is Fall. I believe most/all HS Soccer in Northern VA is Spring.
My DD will be a trapped 8th grade next year. We will have to ask our Coach after this season about the team/club plan in order to have time to try out for other clubs/teams during Spring 2022. |

you must be in maryland. Virginia teams don't take the season off for kids to play high school instead of club. Kids do both.
I think Mclean ECNL might take some time off but I think that's it. |
