[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that the U12 (2010) boys weekend doesn't have a single local club in the top bracket (Baltimore and Richmond are the closest).  Is it a down year for that group in the immediate DMV area?  [/quote]

Good question but I don’t think the best boys clubs in the dc area at older ages are going, either because they are mls next or because they have plenty of other things to do and have competed successfully and recently in large tournaments (Arlington). Certainly doesn’t mean pre-MLS Next should not go. [/quote]

This! Why travel to Richmond and have a $1k weekend per player when there is a load of talented local competition within a 20 minute drive. Great way to make little kids hate soccer is spend the weekends driving all over the east coast. Only reason for all that travel at younger age groups is to feed some egos into thinking they’ve got the biggest baddest team in all the land. [/quote]

$1k per weekend?  I'd love to see a breakdown how you get that.  Hotels are around $150 a night ($300 if you stay both nights).  If you have a gas guzzler, maybe $50 in gas.  Food costs can vary a lot, but maybe $100.  Win the championship and buy your kid a t shirt $50.  So that is $500.  If you have a second kid, maybe buy a second t shirt, but your costs aren't increasing except for food unless it is on a separate weekend.

If you are cash strapped, maybe you just do one night hotel and drive down early Saturday morning.  [/quote]
