[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What age did your kids start playing? Where/what club?

My sibling and I were Div 1 soccer players, but the travel soccer thing these days make me want to stab my eyes out.

Son is 8. DH went to Hopkins son is no gung-ho to quit travel soccer and go into LAX.[/quote]

My kids do travel soccer and lacrosse. If soccer makes you want to stab your eyes out don't play lax, it is much worse.

If you are in MD you are stuck with Bethesda and Club blue. You could drive to VA and play madlax.[/quote]

Have to agree here, soccer is much  more "tame" and less of "scene" than the lacrosse field sidelines.....TRUST ME on that![/quote]

Ha!! Thanks for the tip:). I grew up in am intense soccer family.  The problem with soccer is the picks are soooooo political--even if you are David Beckham you have a good chance of not making the National team.

Crazy parents I can tune out---shady, political shit not so much.

Is it straightforward or does it also have that element?[/quote]

LAX is all politics, soccer less so. [/quote]

Hmmm. I have heard the opposite.  Every kid on our top team had a parent working behind the scenes with the coaches or travel director.  I know I'm high up in the organization and repulsed by it.[/quote]

You mean academies, or national team? there are other ways to get exposure for soccer, not so much for lax. [/quote]
