Individual skill development drops off the older you get and is replaced by team development. So, no....dont buy into that fact that her skill will jump tremendously.

She will become a smarter soccer player as her cognitive levels increase with age... which will help her be a better soccer player.

If your child is already complaining about comittment...it will only get worse the older she gets

If she don't want it. You don't need it. At the end of the day, anything they're forced to do will backfire in a big way. Typically after you paid 100,000 in soccer and they quit their freshman year in college because they ride the bench.

As the kids say...you got to be about that life.


Are all college players really only about soccer ...living a soccer only life? Sounds rather one dimensional and boring to me. I'd rather my kid be well-rounded with multiple.interests (sports, academics, music, arts, etc). What happens to your all about soccer kid when her knee gives out?


Then 4 days a week training. Plus one game a week...for 10 months a year is not for you.

Truth is...its not boring for some kids. Some kids are all about soccer....and yes..those girls recruited have other intrest...plus 4.2 GPAs....plus firends..plus less likely to get pregnant or in trouble...participate in charities....get good jobs...these girls are not dumb jocks....so again.....do what you can stand.


Aha! They have other interests...so they are not all about soccer. Your response is really confusing honestly. First, they are all about soccer...then they are not and have other interests. To fully disclose..we do 4× a week plus game on a DA team....but my daughter does have many other interests. She does not complain. She starts on her team. I was questioning g the validity of your all about soccer claim. You refuted it yourself. It really is not healthy to be all about just one thing be it academics, sports or whatever.


For crying out loud

Your DA players is not one dimensional because she plays one sport during spring and fall. I bet she does what my daughter does.. Get up...go to school...do homework in resource...go to practice...snapchat her friends...go to pool on day off..run around the neighborhood unsupervised...thats right....unsupervised....repeat.

I bet your daughters GPA is high. I bet she talks about college.. I bet she'll be fine.

They could be doing a lot worse. So no, I don't find it unhealthy. I find it refreshing to watch kids work hard and excel without having their face in a stupid phone all day.









Well, my daughter loves soccer, plays an instrument, is an A student, loves the pool, loves to sleep. She wants to play basketball in middle school next year. And oh by the way has recently become a hockey fan thanks to Capitals!!!! she wants to go to games next year....

My daughter's goal is to someday play for Loudoun ECNL - from what I read here it is the ticket to great things in life. She is 9 months old.


Steer her into another sport. With your genes she won't go very far in soccer - not smart enough.


I thought that in soccer all you need is speed and the ability to kick the ball really hard and really far. GotSoccer points galore!


sign her up for kickball league.


AKA elite travel soccer at 95% of the clubs around here.


except whatever elite club youre involved with right


Not about the club or the league but it is about the coach. Stay in Loudoun no matter what and keep telling everyone how smart you are.

If another GDA is going to be added it would most likely be in MD. Northern VA is saturated. With DA and ECNL currently.

This page on their website would suggest they do. I'd reach out to the coach and ask: http://www.brycsoccer.com/coaching-staff
