[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone put the email here. Thinking about DCSC east for my kid but we are in Ward 5 as well.[/quote]

Hi all, 
I am reaching out to let you know that I (along with multiple Brookland Coaches) will be leaving the DC Soccer Club at the end of this spring season. The relationship has been extremely challenging. 
I am reaching out to all of you as a courtesy so you can decide what you would like to do next year. I will be coaching in DC next year; however, I must wait for the attorneys to let me know what is feasible for us. 
Ryan and I have thoroughly enjoyed creating Brookland FC and we love being a part of the Brookland Community.  
We will keep you posted as soon as we can in regards to new details! 
Best, 
Tom [/quote]

I will know within the next 3 weeks whether this is true or not.  I "believe" that there is an issue with Tom and the Brookland crew with DCSC but hearsay at this point.  Not sure if it has reached this level but I will check it out.

This is NOT new for DCSC as they have a history of lawsuits over the years in the academy with coaches.  I have no idea what they have going on over there but not impressed with what I have been exposed to.

I would pursue DC XI, WCU, PPA, City Sports, DCYFC and DC Way if you want travel level ball in DC.

If you are complaining about going from NW to NE for competitive soccer, stay in the rec league as you don't belong in this space as a parent.  Seriously.  Nobody wants your complaining.  Save your money.  Stay in rec so we can elevate this space.  Make your team play up a year to get more competitive.  This space is not made for you.

The serious DC players have been traveling to Alexandria, Arlington and Bethesda for years.  I would like DC to grow up eventually and put something serious together in the District.  The District has the talent.[/quote]

Yes, but my U10 kid on the 5th-tier team is in no danger of ever playing college soccer unless he really improves a lot, which I don't think is likely -- and his rec team evaporated last year because all of his friends moved to travel, at various clubs and various levels, so it was either move to travel, too, or stop playing soccer at all. And I don't see any reason to haul a 10-year-old who's not in the top two tiers for his age across the city multiple times a week for practice, so I'm perfectly happy with their plans to split into east and west. I haven't complained to the club about practice sites in NE, but I also won't mind if he doesn't have any next year.[/quote]

My kid only received a “Black” team offer for DCSC for U10 (5th+ ?) and was recruited to Bethesda SC A team in two years.  Be careful of the judgment you place on your kids so early.  Depends on the kid and how much they want to like to play.

My kids played Takoma and you can always build a team in DCSC rec or become a free agent.  Please don’t complain about the lack of options for such a 1st world privilege.  [/quote]
