[quote=Anonymous]In the dense areas like Arlington, there really are a lot of options for people who have money. You have access to highest levels (MLS-Next and ECNL), strong teams in big clubs, small clubs that specialize in development PLUS loads of travel-lite experiences. ADP is a good model but honestly the lowest teams in MYS and Arlington are travel lite in everything except cost. Meaning, you have fewer practices than high level teams, you can miss training without consequence, people have multiple sports and commitments.

But it comes down to the costs. There are SO many costs associated with playing soccer. The biggest is the professional coaching but in my opinion, you'll never improve if you skimp here. Besides coaching, there are field fees, league fees, tournament fees, uniforms, and so on. It adds up very quickly.

I have seen the breakdown and it is impossible to get it down to $1000 if you have professional coaches. And without professional coaches, I don't think anything above rec is worth paying for.
