[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just drove down River Road through Bethesda and saw that Little River is closed to cars so people can walk, run, bike, scooter, etc. and it was SWARMING with people. I can't believe how stupid and frankly, unfair, these government decisions are. Let's close down all playing fields in entire state (confession: I was in my car hoping to find some field, somewhere, my teenager can practice--she is hoping to get recruited next year and losing months beyond months of practice is horrible) but then invite thousands of people to swarm to one street for "exercise." Absolutely ridiculous![/quote]

I played soccer in the ACC. When I was your daughter's age I would have gone into a deep depression if I didn't have somewhere to play. Soccer is such a great escape from everyday life. Poor kids! Tell her not to be too stressed about recruiting - coaches are still going to be interested in her if she's good, and at her age she'll be able to get into game shape quickly. Do you have a backyard or an unfinished basement? Is there a wall somewhere she can kick against? [/quote]

Thanks for the supportive comment! We have a very small, sloped and bumpy yard (she plays field hockey) but she's doing her best to make it work! She wound up playing on local parking lot yesterday, too. [/quote]
