[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only club offering this is MU. There is no promise of any DA playing time. Just the possibility.  You ‘get’ to practice with the DA team.  Your DD will be an outsider, with the FT players either seeing her as a threat or just not caring about why she’s even there.  Either way it sounds like a tough thing to put your DD thru every week.  And the cost is crazy.  $1200 for practices only.  And then you are required to play at Great Falls Reston.  They are not good and some ages don’t even have teams.  So that’s another 2500-3000 for your regular travel team.  
Upside - practicing
Downside - everything else.  Costs more.  No promises of DA games.  Outsider status at practices.

The reason MU is doing this is because they don’t have a second team.  So they need someone to scrimmage against.  And they want your money. The FT parents don’t want any of this.[/quote]

Lots of inaccuracies in the above.   Total cost is not to exceed $3600 total DA fee for MU, even including the PT fee plus the GFR or other partner club fee.   PT is offered at other clubs as well, it’s regulated by the DA/US Soccer.  It’s a similar system, with players playing in other leagues (for example NPL, CCL, or EDP locally) and in up to 12 DA matches.   Parents at MU are in general much friendlier than several of the other local “elite” options we have experience with.   I think most would welcome the player, as long as they were at level.  The poster above must be from one of the more sideline hostile local option focused exclusively on winning at any cost.
