[quote=Anonymous]It’s easy to say there should be more competitive clubs in the dc area. If you live in dc or surrounding areas like pg county your options are Md united, Achilles, or go to Arlington or Alexandria. Dcsc is a big club in terms of numbers, but they have the same problem as every other dc club- their better players will likely leave at u14 level for SYC DCU Bethesda or one of the clubs I named above.

It’s a shame as someone who grew up playing in pg county 30+ years ago and have coached in dc last 3. The facilities in dc are a huge problem, there are good up clubs in the area like Dc sporting and futures in pg for kids soccer, similar to Bmore where rec clubs in surrounding cities help develop kids, but based on the current landscape once kids hit u14 if they have ambition they will jump to an MLSNext club or play ECNL hoping to keep moving up the ladder, so all of these clubs outside of the privileged ones (PPA, DCXI, DCYFC, Futures, Wash Capital united) who don’t have ECNL or MLSNext status suffer. Teams break up, kids change teams every other season. It’s a shame that, at the end of the day, kids from u15-19 don’t really have that many more options for competitive soccer in the general pg and dc areas within a 45 min drive than they had 30+ years ago.
