[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stoddert soccer if you are in DC.[/quote]  Actually, I'd recommend Capital FC if you are in DC.[/quote]

What age do Capital's programs start? Stoddert is more of a full-service club (and quite good). Capital is good, too -- just smaller.

But to reiterate what others have said -- there is NO reason to choose your DMV residence based on which soccer club is closer. At your kids' ages, they're going to be playing House league anyway. By U8, MAYBE it's worth checking into different "pre-travel" programs. Several clubs -- Fairfax Police Youth Club (FPYC), Vienna (VYS), Lee Mount Vernon, Alexandria and others -- offer a "crossover" program on top of the House league. (A couple of those clubs actually take kids out of House league and have them play crossover-only, which is pretty silly if you ask me.) McLean has a unique program of taking ambitious U8s (geez, what an awful term) to do a lot of training and few games. Some swear by it, some leave after a season.

Chances are pretty good that the closest club or the next-closest club to you -- likely with practices within a 15-minute drive (10 when it's not rush hour) -- will have a perfectly good program up to U12.

And by then, who knows where your kids' interests will lie![/quote]
