[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really admire grassroots programs like this. They’re worth checking out! In fact, I just reached out to the founder to explore how my firm can support them, whether through a donation or something even more impactful.

As a parent of two boys who navigated the travel sports system in the area and went on to successful college careers, I’ve seen firsthand how financial resources often make these opportunities possible. Unfortunately, not every family can shoulder that financial burden, and it’s heartbreaking to know how many talented kids miss out because of it.[/quote]
My youngest was coached by the founder for kindergarten— he is a great coach.  Great person in general.  Been very happy to see the team he put together be so successful.

Though if your kid is serious about soccer I would look into Arlington travel (aaa).  They have scholarships and financial aid.  It’s better for a long term fit.

703 warriors was started because the founders kids didn’t make Arlington travel.  He took his kids current rec team and built a travel team around those kids. I’d be concerned the team may not exist in 2-3 years when his kids naturally stop playing.  [/quote]

I personally know the founder and can attest to the great work that he is doing. Take your son there and try to move when he gets older. This will give him a chance to prove himself and earn a scholarship somewhere else. My son plays with GFR after terrible experiences with Arlington Soccer.

I can correct the previous person’s reply that the founder did not start this because his kids didn’t make Arlington. I asked him 2-years ago to take his kids to tryout for Arlington and he refused and stayed in rec while trying to create this amazing idea for underserved kids. My son made Arlington after tryouts this past May, but we weren’t happy with the politics and we left to another team where my son can thrive. Life is too short to buy-in to the BS. Give them a try! I wish they were further along so I ultimately had to do what’s best for my son. I’m truly amazed at how far they’ve come in such a short time![/quote]
