[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I hear your grievances, I am not sure I understand how ASA is supposed to solve them. Their mission, vision and goals is probably totally antithetical to your non-soccer desires. If ASA is getting permits or has some shared burdens with the county, what stops others  from getting permits too?

Are no school campuses available to go have free play? even if its a half field size?

Field space is often allocated to clubs based on the number of player registrations. It can be very difficult for smaller clubs to grow when large clubs like ASA or Loudoun can monopolize field allocation. It becomes feedback loop. [/quote]

Yep.  It leaves no choices for those that don’t like the factories.  Some diversity and choice within the county would be a good thing.  The “if you don’t like it, leave” mentality that predominates would stop if there were actual nearby choices and force these places to stop being so arrogant.  They know they can always find a sucker to fill an empty spot.  The only reason they are what they are is sheer numbers of players  in the pool.  They are behemoth.[/quote]

I really do not like you terming everyone as a sucker who plays at a big club. Just because it does nit work out for you, does not mean it does not work for everyone. There are clubs around that are very anti industrial soccer complex. Guess what? They have the same problems as the big clubs, but more so - uniforms not fitting, quality of coaching hit or miss, crazy parents demanding changing leagues, not being able to get into leagues or tournaments, no field space, don’t like the u9 girls playing against the u12 boys hit the road, etc, etc etc. [/quote]

Not PP and agree that those problems do exist.  DC was at a smaller club because coach was great and he did a great job in developing the players.  Unfortunately as the kids got older the opposition at only league club could get in became weaker and weaker and we had to move DC to another club that would offer the opportunity to play vs stronger opposition.
