[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are moving to the area next month from overseas and will live in falls church city. My daughter will be a freshman in HS at Meridian. She wants to play travel soccer as well. She has been playing here (military base), not super competitive because it’s a small community, but she loves soccer. What would be a good club to try? She’d probably make one of the lower teams in a club and that’s fine with us. Looking online Arlington has 5 times at 2010 and McLean has 3 teams. How about Vienna? Villarreal or Lee-Mount Vernon (that’s kind of far for regular practices). Any other clubs near Tyson’s? What would be a good plan for tryouts? Help![/quote] [b]Military base soccer anywhere overseas is likely a higher level than rec soccer here in NoVa[/b]. [b]My guess is your kid could make any team[/b]. Save yourself from the acrimony that is ECNL in NoVa and look at Alexandria and Vienna for a solid clubs with no high league play; or check out SYC if she wants to compete in the Girls Academy. Alternative to ECNL, without the insecurity of needeing to be the best for college recruitment tied into their player pathways to success and development[/quote] OP, lots of good advice here from other PPs! But, I highly question everything in this post based on these declarative statements. I've been a part of several DoDEA communities OCONUS, and for sports I beg to differ. OP sounds like they have a reasonable, self-aware well-grounded understanding of their DD's skill level and how she might match up with local teams. Good luck![/quote]
