[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has one been one ID session - 2012G. So if there are any offers out, it has to be for that team.[/quote]

All the McLean 2012 girls showed up for SYC tryouts, and none made the team? oooff that was a broken union.

Should be plenty of McLean girls looking to make this Union then, and that explains the neuroticism. 2 McLean girls offered when whole team attended ID so confirming yes they are looking for a home wit FVU [/quote][/quote]

Some Mclean 12s already accepted SYC offers.[/quote]

People will really commute from McLean to Springfield for 12yo soccer?

Wow. Apparently I don't love my kids enough.[/quote]

Another blindly privileged McLean parent speaking out of their arse. Do you realize how lucky you are to have all these options to choose from within a 15-20 mile radius and you wouldn't choose a team because of what traffic?[/quote]

NP, but YES!  I can't imagine a much worse drive (other than McLean to Montgomery Co) multiple times a week during rush hour (which is when those practices usually are). Were were a pretty hard-core soccer family at that age, but we didn't regret it one bit when we cut drive time to practice by 50%.

Play along with a McLean parent:

6p practice in Springfield.  Have to leave home at 5:15 at the latest.  Have to stay b/c there is barely time to get back home and get back for pickup.  Practice ends at 7:30.  Get home at 8:00.  Start dinner......

Or 6p practice in McLean. Leave at 5:40, back home by 6:10, have an hour to prepare dinner, workout, drive the other kid to their practice, etc, before pickup at 7:30.  Home at 7:40 and dinner is partly/mostly prepared...

Plus, having practice so far away pretty much eliminates the possibility/benefit of having one parent drop off and the other pick up.

We ARE lucky to have all these choices, which is why we don't have to drive 30+ minutes away for every practice.

Not gonna lie, I'm doing about a 35-40 minute soccer commute right now and it's pretty grueling. I'm definitely enjoying it for what it is, but it does preclude any other evening activities several nights a week. [/quote]
