[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgive my total ignorance on this subject-- this forum is a sea of acronyms and I have no idea where to start.  i have a 2017 first grade boy who likes soccer and is decent, although not exceptional.  We live in Bethesda very close to DC and are considering having him try out for a travel team for fall of 2024.  Is this reasonable?  Which travel teams are solid places to start but not overly competetive? Does that exist? Location-wise, we would like to practice in NWDC, Bethesda, or Chevy Chase, and I believe DC Soccer Club, PPA, or possibly Bethesda Soccer could be close? Any others? Do these leagues have different reputations about which I should be aware? Our goal is to continue to support him in a challenging but not grueling environment.  We would also be open to waiting until Fall of 2025 to try out for travel soccer, but I am not sure if the consensus is to get in early or wait longer.  Thank you for any advice or insight![/quote]

Bethesda practice won't be close. Stick with PPA or DC Soccer. [/quote]

This is not true. We live in Bethesda and Bethesda practices for u8 -u10 were perfect, much closer than ppa and dc soccer. As they get older it may branch out further.

Op, Bethesda is grueling and for kids who are serious about soccer. It's not worth the money to be on a lower team. Try it for fall,  if your kid isn't middle to upper table of his age group, transfer to ppa. [/quote]
