[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the same situation for a nine year old. My kid lives for soccer, but they are small for their age and a December birthday. I don't understand the mentality of not building in space at the early ages for kids who are really committed to soccer and would benefit from the resources to develop. Another year in development soccer where there are half the practices and no professional coaching means another year of getting further behind.[/quote]

Where are you? At that age we found Potomac Soccer and Bethesda took all the kids and just added teams. At later ages this wasn’t true but at 9 there should be a team. DS has had small players on every team he’s played on as long as they had the skills.  My nephew and nieces play for FC Frederick which is huge and they also have the same mentality. There are 4-5 teams for each age level. My nieces and nephews on the bottom teams are having fun and improving because they get professional coaches and more hours practicing and playing than they would on rec. Don’t hesitate to reach out even after tryouts have ended because often they still need to round out the rosters on lower teams.  I’m sorry I don’t know the travel teams in Va to make any suggestions there. [/quote]

this right here is very accurate[/quote]
