[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing about soccer is that it keeps thousands and thousands of kids in MoCo occupied and out of trouble after school and on the weekends.  Not to mention the health benefits of playing.  It’s just such a huge positive.

I think there’s a lot of travel team parents on here (and I am too) but let’s not forget just how many kids play for MSI soccer and SAM etc.  Those clubs and most travel clubs have scholarship programs where kids in need can play for free.

My DD was really struggling - anxious, sad , lonely - until soccer picked back up again.  Please don’t take that away MoCo!  And if MoCo doesn’t let them play games, there’s a good chance the whole thing goes down the tubes (SoccerPlex is bleeding money).

I really hope they reconsider .... if adult pick up games are the concern, then focus enforcement on that.  Not the well-organized youth clubs that follow the rules.[/quote]

Agree.   Soccer is one of the last remaining sports that serves the broadest communities.   MSI and Sam select serve a broad community at a reasonable price        For many kids, soccer may be their main outlet to see other kids.   It makes no sense when lacrosse - which is a contact sport for boys with full pads - and is a wealthier kids sport can play, but soccer can’t.

My DD was also struggling and soccer was her lifeline - her team and her coach.  The first few times her friends got together social distanced about 12 feet apart for skills drills was like a gift.   And I will never forget the look on all the girls faces during their first practice back.    I’m sure there are lots of kids who need our support.  Whatever the concern is by the county - adult pick uptakes , parents on sidelines , full blown tournaments I’m sure we can address.  [/quote]
