Alexandria travel soccer

OP, you could also look at Arlington - there are a lot of team levels and by and large its a good organization.

Depending on where you live, I would look at Alexandria, Arlington or SYC. SYC has long had a reputation of not focusing on girls, but that seems to be changing at the younger ages. Arlington is always strong but has a lot of teams so she might have to work her way onto a really competitive team. Alexandria had some issues with the GA situation and some parents are still smarting over that, but it is a solid club that shouldn’t be overlooked.

I wouldn’t go to LMVSC or Gunston if your U13 DD wanted to play HS soccer. She will get more technical training at the other three clubs. I say this as you mentioned the goal of playing at one of the Catholic high schools, they play in the WCAC league and is a tough league. Technical ability will make a difference.

Alexandria has one good coach on the girls side for the older age groups. The girls are not getting technical skills from bad coaches.

LMVSC has a great coach for the 07/08 girls red (top) team

The boys did not do well in East Coast premier.

I really don’t think any team should be judged based on their performances in the East Premier which are just friendlies. It’s a good time for players to get used to each other and for the coach to also experiment and try out players in different positions.

They had mass exodus after the GA fiasco for top team so the ones who stayed the combined with best of the second team to now play in that new league. If you aren't going club to HS it may be fine. They are always looking for talent so you may get a break and still get in Fall lineup if you try. Club wise they are not strong v SYC or Arl. It's true that v the other 2 teams you mention they were maybe better quality being larger at lower ages.

this.

I would not put a u13-u18 girl at ASA right now.

+1. We also left, as did many girls at my DD's level.

Yup. It's gonna take a couple years for ASA to reorganize and recover from losing their GA patch.

I love this troll who starts these anti-ASA threads. Sorry, you had a bad experience. Go find something better to do and focus your energy on that

They went 6-1-5 (w-d-l), with a positive GD, across all age groups. What is "do well"?

I think most area boys teams struggled by that standard, most considerably more than Alexandria. The out-of-town teams were very good.

OP here- I’ll assume you have a reading comprehension issue. My assumption at the start was that ASA was the better program. I was crowd sourcing the differences of two other programs.
