To be honest - if you can't clearly say that he is head shoulders and half a torso above the other kids on an NCSL team then you are likely kidding yourself about his ability.  Which doesn't mean he can't develop if he wants it enough.

To echo the other posters here, have him try out for a DA team.  If you are struggling for cash and your kid is good enough you should be able to get a scholarship + DA is no more expensive than travel anyway (or at least it wasn't - not sure what will happen next season now).

Arlington is the best option locally - plus the DA director there has connections to Europe and can probably get your kid a tryout in Spain if he's good enough.  He also runs a summer training program (assuming summer training is allowed this year) in NoVa which is called futstars academy I think.  Google it and sign your kid up - there are usually at least a few pretty good players from Arlington DA and DC United, and the remainder will be top level travel team players.  So you should be able to get a better gauge of his level.[/quote]
