[quote=Cruzado][quote=Nova2Euro][quote=Cruzado][quote=seacap11]We live in NW DC. My 13yo son (8th grade so probably plays 14U) has always played soccer and I have been told he is a very talented goalie. He has decided to make baseball his primary sport this year and is committed to a team that plays on Saturdays. He would like to still play soccer in some way even if it isn't at the classic level that he did at MSI.

Does anyone know of any teams that play Sundays? or during the week? Or is he just done with soccer if he can't do Saturdays?

Thanks so much.[/quote]

I've had several kids of mine play travel soccer, and the games were always on Sunday (very few, if any, regular season games on Saturday). [/quote]

Sorry, but this is a bad take.

Do a little homework and check the past schedules of the league your son wants to play in. For example, U14 NCSL boys schedule:

As you see, split between Saturdays and Sundays. There might be some house leagues out there that don't play on Saturday, but it won't be common at all. [/quote]

My bad. Thus far in my experience, the vast majority of my boys' travel soccer games have been on Sundays.

Although, even looking at the schedule you posted (and I don't know if it's representative of travel soccer schedules generally, across different ages and leagues), only about 75% of the games are on Sunday.

The bottom line seems to be that is someone has a strict NO SATURDAYS or NO SUNDAYS limitation, they aren't going to be able to play travel soccer in the DMV unless they accept that they'll miss some games. But as between the two, it seems that there are still way more games on Sunday than Saturday ... so I would still let my kid play and just let the coach know that you can't make the Saturday games.[/quote]
