[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes it is not even about cost. Logistics is an issue of you have several kids involved in activities.

The point is that there is no reason for McLean, Bethesda or FCV  needs to travel more than a half dozen times to play games in in other regions.

The model needs to change so that 95% of games are local. Regionals and nationals are relevant but only if under one club. There is no need to have three or more different leagues with their own national playoff system.[/quote]

Why should they change the model? They have plenty of paying customers. If you want what they offer, pay the price. If not, play NCSL or one of the other local/regional leagues.  It sounds like you want the benefits but are unwilling to pay the price.[/quote]

There is no product available for  kids that really want to pursue high level soccer unless you are in striking distance of a funded boys Da.  Market for it is too small and too poor.  oh well.  deluxe faux high level soccer is all that is available for purchase.[/quote]

Some of the boys DAs will board your kid if he is good. Some of the truly dedicated high level soccer players move to be near the DAs. Many kids think they are high-level soccer players and believe there should be an Uber entity that finds them and whisks them away to soccer stardom. Most DAs aren’t going to waste time with someone who isn’t going to put in the effort to be seen - it’s indicative of a tragic flaw. Keep telling your self your kid would be the next Messi if you only had the money...[/quote]

ummmm....no funded boys da will take on my or any other female player as far as I know.  I only know of one female with a pay to play boys da.[/quote]
