[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

If your kid isn't excited to go to Jefferson Cup, play in a tournament, hang in a hotel with his teammates, etc. even though it's a 90 minute drive, then maybe he should play on a lower level team and stay home. I'm not trying to be a D here.  Trying to give you something to think about. This is what motivated my kid, not made my kid hate soccer.[/quote]

DP please after doing this year after year it is not exciting. Most of the players get stressed out and worry about how they play. You must be one of the clueless parents kissing up to the coach.[/quote]

NP.  I think the poster who's kid gets stressed out and doesn't have fun for a tournament is in the minority.  I think most kids really enjoy traveling for a tournament, staying in a hotel, hanging out with teammates, etc.[/quote]
