[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello!!

I'm a parent of a 2016 girl from the Pittsburgh Riverhounds set to come down for the Nation's Capital Cup.  I just wanted to let you all know that all the parents of our girls have been raving about the soccer in your area and have glowing things to say about the level of play we are about to take part in.  Our top team is in a bracket with McLean Green and SYC.  We were curious however as to why the 2016 Arlington and Alexandria girls are not taking part in the competition.  They have quite the reputation up here in Pittsburgh and we were hoping to see them.  Any ideas as to why they won't be there?  Thanks so much!!  Can't wait to see how we stack up to the soccer in your area.[/quote] 
I think the Alexandria teams are playing in Bethesda Premier Cup. [/quote]

Got it....thanks.

Oh well, The McLean and SYC teams will still be super-exciting to play against.[/quote]

You’re talking about 9 year olds? [/quote]

Yes, exciting in the sense that my daughter's team has really only played in a few local tournaments over the past couple of years.  Even though it's only 9 year old soccer, our parents view Northern Virginia soccer almost like what people would think Canada is to hockey.  It'll be neat to see how the girls stack up.  Programs like Alexandria, Arlington, McClean, and SYC have a national reputation so it's a good early litmus test to see how our girls are progressing.[/quote]

You are kidding, right? They are 9. Many won't be playing by 12.

Wow, this is absurd.

Haha....yeah you are right....what was I thinking.  Because our girls are only 9 we all should have just kept them in their local in-house leagues and had them continue to play against girls picking flowers during the game because nothing matters until they are 16  I'm so "absurd" for being excited about our girls having the chance to play against some other really good teams.  I'm sure that makes me a psycho-sports Dad.

In reality, I found this board by accident but enjoyed reading through some of the posts.  I simply thought it would be nice to leave a comment on the fact that our parents think really highly of the soccer in Northern Virginia because I thought it would be really flattering for all of you to hear.   That's all.  I wasn't trying to turn 9 year old soccer into the World Cup.  Just wanted to have a friendly discussion.[/quote]
