[quote=Anonymous]Check out PPA premier - Player Progression Academy. Travel level kids.  All games are at Germantown Soccerplex.  Two midweek practices at reasonable locations.  So much better than Stoddard or other Rec-league for a kid who is better than rec-league level but for whom a travel schedule isn't feasible for kid or parents.  The PPA coaches are fantastic - real coaches, not the dad of one of the players. Coaches get out and do drills with the kids and are professional level players (from my sidelines perspective) themselves; they don't just yell drills from the sidelines.  The coaches get to know the kids and the kids really seem to look up to them. So different from typical Rec-league coach where kid views coach sort of like a somewhat incompetent substitute teacher.  As an example, a few seasons ago a parent on my DC's team mentioned that our PPA team's coach had been an Ivy League player (some were on pro or semi pro teams) so I googled him when I got home. In fact, he'd been a superstar player at a top Ivy from all the online write ups we found, having graduated a few years earlier (and presumably he was doing this coaching as a way to stay in the game, not as a full time job).

Tryouts should be coming up soon for the spring season - presumably they're listed on PPA's website.[/quote]
