[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if anyone here realizes how ridiculously few people from this area go pro.

Look overseas. Look at MLS. Look at the NWSL. Not a lot of DMV people.

Yet if you read this board, everyone's going pro -- oh, but they might settle for merely playing in college.

Good luck with that.[/quote]

Dont agree at all on the men's side. Check out this article highlighting locals who have gone pro recently: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soccer-insider/wp/2018/01/26/a-decade-ago-this-youth-soccer-club-rarely-won-now-it-has-produced-seven-pros-in-two-years/?utm_term=.a91c2bae060a  This doesn't include other young players who have recently gone pro, including Chris Durkin, Jacori Hayes, Ian Harkes or those currently at UMD and other colleges who are likely to turn pro when they graduate. Also doesn't include older players like Andy Najar or Joe Gyau. I'm sure there are many others--if you follow DMV soccer on twitter, you can get a good sense of this.

It is, of course, hard for any player to go pro, but I think if you can't move to LA or Dallas, this is a pretty good region to be from if that's your dream.
