[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm stunned that parents just accept this sort of thing as normal -- that being pretty good in a sport means shopping around so you may end up driving 45 minutes to practice instead of 10. No wonder elite soccer has a reputation as a sport for rich suburbanites who can afford to have a parent take time off work (or a nanny) to drive them all over creation so they can *maybe* make half their money back with a college scholarship. How about this -- play for your local club unless you're good enough to play for D.C. United's academy, where the lack of fees can offset any extra driving you have to do.[/quote] If your kid is goid enough, work hard and are dedicated they will make the team. If not they don't. Why is this such a hard concept to grasp. Our travel team is very diverse, many kids from different SES backgrounds. How about this, if you would rather drive to Alexandria than dc united practices go for it.[/quote]
