1. You live somewhere in the Fairfax/Vienna/McLean area. (Feel free to subdivide.)

2. You aren’t able to arrange transportation to Haymarket or Bethesda.

3. You don’t want to go to Arlington and play kickball.

4. Sadly, your kid is ECNL/MLS Next level and really wants to do it rather than just playing for Vienna Phoenix or McLean Green or even FPYC Blue.

What are your options?

This is a boy? bring him to loudon/nva. Research witch mlsn coaches play possession and go reach out while you still have time. If you need help there are families that went to bsc that can give pointers on how they wiggled out of the club situation. Movements are time sensitive however. Speaking of which if your kid is that good have him try BSC. Might have some commuting options if he is good enough to make the cut.

Pretty much the same if this is a girl. But I would have to disagree on Arl playing kickball with all the girls teams. Good luck but dont sit on your hands.

PP here - I haven't seen many Arlington girls' teams, so I can't argue with that. The boys? Kickball.

Train and do ODP

ODP is an absolute joke. None of the top kids do it. And parents of players act like its a flex. But 95% of the kids shouldn't be there

...None of the top kids do it .....Except the Gatorade National Player of the Year for 2026, also a UCLA commit for 2026, and coached by the UCLA coach who was the National ODP coach. Just sayin...

Isnt it market dependent. DMV drops off but middle OK retains relevancy.
