[quote=Rountree]You have to balance two things: Wanting to play at high level club soccer and wanting to also play for high school. So, automatically, MLS Next teams are out because that's against the rules. Do people skirt the rules? Sure, but you're spreading yourself too thing with 4 practices a week (as mandated by MLS Next league). So, your best bet really is to join a club that plays high level EDP (USYS National). Your best bets for that are Alexandria, Arlington, SYC, or Bethesda second teams. The second teams at these clubs are often very good, and several of the kids are good enough to play first team but want to play other sports or not spend 20 hours a week just on soccer. If your kid is a stand out, they will pull you aside and offer you a first team spot - at which point you will have to make a decision about what to do with high school soccer. You'll find that very few top players are doing high school soccer, which is unfortunately, but the nature of the current landscape. Good luck. [/quote]
