Grown men treating a kid that way to get back at the parents. Unbelievable. |

| Anyone know which league Gunston U9s play in? They played in NCSL in the fall, but not spring. At least not from what I can tell. Thanks. |

Just this spring for the new DA teams. |

Didn't he just move from McLean to DC United's DA this year? I'm virtually positive he was coaching the DC U16s, though he's not listed there now. |

Who knows? These people cycle between clubs like a whore to crack. |

| He quit McLean in the middle of the year I believe. |

| Any thought/opinions/info on whether Southwestern Youth Association soccer teams are any good? U9-U12 boys? How's the coaching, general atmosphere, etc? |

Not sure what "good" means to you, but I watched the U9s in the Arlington pre-spring season tournament and their strategy seemed to be to get it to one of two big, fast kids up top and have them try to score. I was not impressed with their playing style. |

That's Arlington's strategy as well... |

| What are the advantages of your kid being at the bottom of the 2nd team compared to being at the top of the 3rd team. I believe that the top two teams train together and the 3rd and 4th train together. So he'd be at the bottom of 20+ kids compared to the top of 20+ kids. Issues I'm facing is the confidence level of being at the bottom vs training with better kids. This is for 2006. |

If it were my kid I would want him/her to train with the top 20 kids. He will have to stretch to keep up with them and if he/she is dedicated to becoming a better soccer player -- through intense effort and extra practice on own time -- then he/she will survive and become a better player. If he/she is not willing to put in that extra time and effort she will not survive with the top kids. You will find out quickly how strong your kid is mentally, and how much he/she really wants to play at a higher level. |
