| Ask jeeves |

| Virginia Independent Soccer Team Association |
Can you also play tournaments? Or just league |
If you write a check you can play a tournament. |
| Anyone can form a club |
| what field do you own? |
| Field space is the key along with insurance, Remember waivers for children in the state of VA really aren't worth the paper they are written on. |
They okay in tournaments and have home games at Kincheloe field in Clifton |
This is the great barrier which sucks. We know some of the most talented coaches that wanted to do things their way, form a club and make it less bureaucratic and less overhead costs, less factory-like and more about the kids and even the best (some are now doing it in Europe and succeeding) unable to get the consistent field space or get in the leagues their players deserved to be in. I hate that it is this way. It was much easier many years ago---and I knew a few that ended up becoming #1 in the State after breaking off from a bigger Club. My son's trainer that left a big Club (was his Coach U9) and kept training him all the way through HS (had a lucrative day job) really wanted to assemble the kids he trained into a team. Most were incredible technical players that got lost in the big Club mix---but we could never figure out how to do it in a reliable way. |
| ^ unless you have 60% of players from an already established team (u can take that teams spot in league-NCSL ) yuh have to start in the lowest division. It would take years to work your way up. |
And let's face it, if you have even half decent kids, NCSL division 1 would be a waste of time in any case. |
Does EDP allow individual teams to enter? |
| Yes |
