[quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman whose main sport is swimming. Throughout elementary and middle school he played rec soccer and was a mediocre player but loved it.

Lately he's been talking about how much he misses a team sport, and the camaraderie of it. Has been asking to get back into soccer, not in place of swimming, but as something to do on the side, for the team feel.

He's definitely not good enough to make the high school team or a travel team.  Is our only option that he just join something like MSI rec? Most of the kids he used to play with have either gone "up or out "- they either specialized and are now excellent players or they dropped it in favor of other sports (a sad consequence of the competitiveness and specialization going on, but that's another topic).

Are there other good options in the Bethesda /rockville area for good casual teams? Does anyone ever do informal pick up games in the park, that kind of thing? We used to live in NY and saw this all the time, informal games where kids could just join in. Does this happen anywhere?

Thanks for any suggestions[/quote]
