[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many teams in such a small area of Fairfax county?  Annandale, Springfield, Burke, etc.  Waters.down the teams.[/quote]

I don't get why the question gets asked so often. Because kids want to play and parents have the money. Why do we need to analyze further?

I don't think my kids are going to be the next Leo Messi. I doubt they'll play Division 1 in college. But they love soccer, they're having fun, making friends, and learning a lot. Why are people so protective of how "elite" travel soccer used to be??[/quote]

I would say it's population density and each of these clubs in FFX have large rec programs. The problem is that each of these clubs then try to compete in travel as well. Honestly, a club like Burke or FPYC should focus solely on serving rec players in their neighborhoods and then those players that want higher level of competition could switch to a club like BRYC.[/quote]

+1 Sure, they are small, but what does that matter? Why is having one (sometimes none and sometimes two) travel teams per age group a problem?[/quote]
