[quote=Anonymous]The DC proper teams appropriate for your kid will be:

DC XI (Riggs Lasalle?)
City Sporting (Edgewood?)
DC Soccer (Varies)
PPA (NW DC & SS?)
District Elite (Palisades?)
DC Way (NE)

NONE of the clubs can provide what you are looking for in terms of schedule because permits fluctuate. From our location in NW, it is much easier for us to practice in Wheaton and Rockville than to get over to Dunbar or RFK. Your best bet is to schedule to join a practice with each club and see which is most patient with you. That will probably be District Elite, DC XI and City Sporting.

Achilles is the most consistent practice location at St John’s, Wheaton, etc. but they will not be a fit your family based on this post.

Regarding clinics, visit each of the clubs and ask do they have supplemental training you can join to get up to speed. Most of his development should come from being home alone. A good starting point for him to learn how to juggle 100x with each foot, pass and receive against the wall about 200-400x with each foot and then work on ball manipulation to get at least 1k touches a day (sole roles, etc.). An inexpensive app like Anytime Soccer training has everything he needs to learn the technical stuff. [/quote]
