[quote=Anonymous]My DS started playing travel here two years ago, 2022, when we had just moved from out of state. It was a serious culture shock. All I could think was "Where are we???" I could not believe what an awful community we had moved to and I literally just wanted to move back because of the aggressive soccer parents and aggressive everything-parents in NOVA. My son was initially placed too highly by the coaches (he was very athletic 10yr old, but hadn't played travel/ club before) and the other parents ON OUR OWN TEAM were absolutely brutal to him and to us. I have never been more proud of my child that he stuck with the game through that. He was the worst player on the team that year (as the other parents often liked to remind us), but he just kept working hard and didn't give up. Seriously, sooo proud. Two years later, the parent who was the biggest jerk has now had his kid dropped down a team, while mine moved up. I wish I could say it made me feel better, but really I just feel bad for the kids who go home with these parents. What are they trying to achieve??[/quote]
