Teams in the Fairfax area

[Anonymous]

Syc, alexandria, bethesda, and several others are mls next clubs. But while many may include the word mls in their team names for younger age groups,the league doesn't start until u13.

You must not have seen his previous post where he said his player is 8 but plays up. I highly doubt his son is playing up 4 years cause MLS next starts at U12.

Wouldn't the 12 yr old be pre-ecrl as well?

No. Most 12 year olds are 2012s right now.

Reach out to all the clubs within your preferred driving distance. Make sure you figure out the commute time during traffic, not just "4 miles away" They will all invite the kids to join a training to see where they fit in with current teams.

Vienna is the best one of all of those! Don’t waste time with anyone else. Coaching is amazing and superb. You and your kids won’t regret signing up for VYS at all. VYS is best, forgot all the rest!

I love this journey for you.

Don’t hate. Nothing wrong with playing on scrubby team that is not up to Vienna’s superior standard.

If you’re going to troll because you were wronged (at least in your mind) once in the past, at least do a better job of it.

What are you talking about? We’ve had multiple DCs VYS. We love it!

His 8 year old wants to “go pro”, so he’s playing up at U13 🤣🤣🤣

Being that they're from Chicago, I'm assuming he's referencing the Chicago Fire FC Academy which does have a talent identification platform for U10-U12. So it's not out of the realm of possibilities that his 8 year played U10 this last year for the MLS Next Academy ofChicago Fire FC...took all of 30 seconds on google to find that out rather than jumping ton conclusions and then bashing OP for those conclusions.

Op here. Son played on the A team of a club that offered MLS Next at older ages. No he is not playing MLS NEXT 4 years up😄 Similar situation with the daughter, she is playing pre ECRL, but I’m not sure how motivated she is. She’s young, so maybe in the future she’ll want to play in college or beyond. However, for now i’m just trying to support her best as possible and make sure she enjoys youth soccer. I want both my kids to play for teams that they enjoy right now, given their ages. I’m not trying to push them too hard to play soccer in college or beyond. I want them to make this decision for themselves.

You seem to be perfect for Valor, Fairfax base and not that serious in soccer!

Talent identification platform? You’re delusional. The only way to go pro is to move to Europe and start at a team that is not just there to rake money.

Closest to Fairfax, I would recommend SYC (Springfield), they have MLSN platform for boys and GA for girls.

Vienna is the best in the area by far.
