[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we moved to Fairfax County, Virginia, I was shocked to learn that middle schools in FCPS do not have sports programs as they do in every other place I've lived. I grew up in a fairly lower-class public school system but we ALWAYS had sports programs -- I guess FCPS wastes their billions dollars of funding on other things!

In an age where childhood obesity is a persistent problem, and parents are struggling to keep screen-time under control, not offering a low-cost, convenient way for kids to experience all of the physical, emotional, and mental benefits that come with competitive sports is a shame.

So what do you expect when the kids reach high school? Hint: expect ugly soccer lol.

That said, the private school leagues are fun to watch -- schools like Gonzaga, Heights, Good Counsel, St John's Catholic, etc. all play some pretty good soccer. [/quote]

This person has an agenda.  Ecnl headquarters is in Virginia and NOVA is one of the top areas in the country for soccer. Not sure where OPs child goes but 90 percent of the high school soccer kids in FCPS play travel. Half our travel team goes to some of the privates listed and the other to public and it has no bearing on their ability. Obviously PP has a kid in private or has an agenda to attend all these games. Pp sounds like the military officer guy who had been here for 2 months with a MAGA agenda complaining about FCPS already with no idea of the area or the schools and telling me the month and day he was leaving here. Maybe he could put in a transfer? Why people come here with these preconceived notions of hate is beyond me. No way his run down neighborhood he's so proud of could beat an FCPS school or any of the top travel teams here. He had no idea about the saturation of options already here and his kid didn't even participate in the middle school program after all that fuss. He just liked to complain about it but in no way was he going to put his kid with the  poors or those liberals. FCPS is not Gonzaga lol. And yet the kids on my sons travel team play at the same level nonetheless. Good riddance. Go back to your small town.[/quote]
