[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of players attended the ID session Saturday at Blair.   PPA is certainly getting more looks than they normally would.  [/quote]

If this is true, it is the one-millionth example of why soccer parents can't have nice things. People should not be drawn to "MLS Next Academy Division" teams. MLS is expanding that division rapidly. The parents will pay more for teams with that badge. But what do they get for it? It's not a pathway to anything. No one is being recruited to anything from that division. There isn't any increased coaching standard. There isn't any promise of a better player experience. It's literally just paying more money for a name, but with no real benefits for kids or their families.  People should demand better. [/quote]

I would be curious to know what level your kid plays at. Right now, the best players in DC spent a lot more than the $500 a year MLS premium traveling to Bethesda, Potomac, SYC, Alexandria, etc.

If you don’t know the quality of the coaching at PPA then this is a shallow respond from the exact type of parent that forced PPA to get the badge in the first place. You are not educated enough to know anything else to look for. That’s why they need any badge just to start to deal with fickle parents. I don’t know enough about PPA but I support all positive moves that allow DC kids to play in DC.[/quote]
