[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black or white, compared to soccer and lacrosse there are fewer teams. And it can be like trying to find the proverbial needles in a haystack, trying to find tryouts, etc. I have girls who play(ed) HS soccer, volleyball and basketball. The other sports clubs have better marketing.[/quote]\

Are you suggesting that *lacrosse* is more popular than *basketball* in the DC area? That's hilarious.[/quote]

If you're talking about organized club lacrosse vs organized club basketball, yes and it isn't particularly close. If you're talking about pickup basketball, that's a different story, but that doesn't seem to be what OP is talking about [/quote]
If your kid could not play basketball you can say that. Basketball is much more popular around the area at both levels outside of your rich white bubble. My DS is playing basketball D1 and has heard from college coaches that the DMV is one of the capitals of the world in terms of producing basketball players.[/quote]

And especially PG county.  This is worth a watch:

+100 My kids don't play basketball but I live in PG County and basketball is pretty big around here.  It's not farfetched to conclude that those who look at the DCUM sports forums skew very white and upper class so just keep that in mind if you're attempting to find helpful information here.  Honestly, if you're having a hard time finding helpful info about elite or super competitive basketball in general, I'm going to hazard a guess that your kid is just not that remarkable.  I have a talented kid in a different sport and I feel people go out of the way to give us helpful information (assuming they've seen my kid play).  Every kid I know who plays high level basketball was noticed early on and their parents given the information they need to keep him playing at a high level.
