Our Club's last practice of the season is Dec. 15th. They still have 3-4 regular season games and a tournament the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Anyone else done? I'm so jealous...ready to stop driving.

oh no! Lot's more training, lots more games this year.

It never ends for us. Maybe from Dec 22 to Jan 5 and then again from mid June to mid July. That’s about it. Yep. Gotta trek down south for 5-6 hrs for a Sat. game, then to Richmond on Sun.

My kids still have 3 and 4 EDP regular season games left. Bethesda tournament 11/22 and regular season practices until the week before Xmas. Club starts 3 practices per week again on Jan 13th.

It’s pretty much all of the time. They play futsal elsewhere starting in Dec also.

Your friend's kid is probably on a very low level travel team that only has access to grass fields with no lights for practice. When the clocks roll back this weekend, no lights = no practice.

Ahhh, no. We have turf fields with lights. All of our home games were turf and 90% of away. State Cup pushed some games back.

Why does everyone have to be an a**hole with these type of undercut comments?

I dont see it as a undercutting comment- its not in the norm for a high level team to be done already. What club and age does your kid play for???

Only if you spend another $500-$900 for futsal

Not the case for Bethesda, they do have extra for futsal games, but winter training is in the club fee.

I feel like there should be a list for what a club provide. They all charge similar but the products are so different.

You play for a club that didn't provide a list of everything your annual fee covers? That's messed up.

What age group, OP? My DS is in seniors and their season is virtually year-round (longest break is in the summer). Practices through winter, tournaments, showcases, etc.

My DC had outdoor practice all year and the club did an outdoor league in winter that only cancelled if there was snow on the field. The soccerplex actually plows its turf fields. In winter practice was only once a week and games on weekends.

Mine too and last year I invested heavily in those hand warmers for DC to use in gloves.

The comment was about your friend's kid's team, not yours.

What exactly is an "undercut" comment anyway?

If you want a short season and still pay premium price I suggest Alexandria soccer is the perfect place
