[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has been on a travel team for a couple of years. Unfortunately, she will need to spend more time on her primary sport next year. Are there any teams or programs in the MD/DC area that are suited for kids who play soccer as a secondary sport? We are looking for a team or program that practices 1-2 times per week, has 1-2 games each week, and doesn’t have a strict attendance requirement. She has done recreational soccer before but didn’t enjoy the level of competition. Thanks![/quote]

You sound like the ideal parent of any soccer club.  Why not stay at the same club and have her moved to a lower team?

If DCUM is correct, the lower teams are there to fund the club and there is no expectations.

If your DC wants to be on a top team, attendance is strict or they don't play. [/quote]

As you get older, that's basically any team lower than the first team.  Seriously, by mid-late HS.  It's frustrating.  Just RSVP and nobody will be angry--that way they can fill spots in time with players w/in the club.  It's the 'no response', no shows that are a PIA---particularly when you are going to travel or try to register for a tournament.

Be upfront right away. My kid plays on a second team of a big club in HS for a similar reason and we are sure to rsvp right away to everything---practices, future tournaments, games, etc.[/quote]
