[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused.  Kids who play in this soccer league are transferring to private school just to play soccer there?  Why?  [/quote]

I don't know enough about high school soccer but other kids go to St Johns and other WCAC schools because it is one of the best athletic conferences in the country. Kids who play there get noticed and get athletic scholarships to college. And like I said I don't know enough about soccer, but top football and basketball (maybe baseball, lax and other sports) players can get full athletic scholarships to go to St Johns. Football doesn't have travel teams and I don't think the St Johns basketball coach has an AAU team. So those kids can go to high school for free and then go to college for free. I don't know how this works for soccer and other sports, but if they are getting scholarships at St Johns and then getting college scholarships, maybe its worth it.[/quote]
Football does have Travel.  Some of you guys need to get with the times.  Maybe there was no travel football when you were a kid, but there is now.  In Virginia it is the VAYFL.  The Evergreen Hammers has a team and the play other teams from all over the Virginia, DC, and Maryland.[/quote]
