[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]RSD - in your book about why American men's soccer will never win it all did you include a chapter on how kids and parents are too fragile to play in anything above room temperature? Because the last time I checked - there are a hotter climates in the world than the DC area. And I bet those kids sure aren't complaining.[/quote]

No, but in my first book, there's a reference to the bad decision to play MLS games in the afternoons on a high school turf field in Dallas. It's mentioned here:

The kids may not complain, per se, but when I reffed on Father's Day, it's safe to say the second half was considerably slower than the first.

Whether that's a good experience or not -- YMMV. But a decision whether or not to play is *probably* not based on whether Vienna parents can afford it. Just a hunch.[/quote]

We did Super Y with Vienna a few years ago.  I'm happy to not play in the league again until the league improves.  Practice was fine and I don't mind the heat, but there were a couple of times that we drove to PA for games to play on crappy fields - and the other team didn't have enough players and had to forfeit.

There are lots of summer options just as there are lots of tournament options or league options or extra training options.  If VYS or any other club can't offer a good experience, then I don't hold it against them for not fielding a team in any particular league/event.  [/quote]
