[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to hijack OP's thread, but we seem to live in the same area and my DD is the same age.

Do people in Fairfax/Burke really travel to Arlington and McLean for 9yo soccer? I cannot imagine doing that multiple times a week during rush hour for practices.[/quote]

Yes there are people that do this and its ridiculous. In the years i've seen youth soccer, there was only one kid I thought had so much natural talent that they should have travelled to Arlington or McLean (back when it was good) instead of staying the immediate Fairfax/Burke area. Unfortunately, that kid's parent had no idea how good the kid played, knew nothing about soccer, and I wasn't close enough to them to offer that advice. Also, parents here are so neurotic that the parent would probably think I was trying to sabotage the kid (not true, my kid played on the top team with theirs). I'm pretty sure that kid is still playing on an average team, getting average coaching which is a damn shame. [/quote]

Not ridiculous if the coaching and player pool is a better fit. Why stay local for lesser?[/quote]
