[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]

I think this misses the point in two ways.  First, the question was whether there actually is "a load of talented local competition within a 20 minute drive." The top 2010 boys teams DID all play each other in the EDP/ADL and I was wondering if maybe they aren't that good compared to their counterparts in other regions.  Jefferson cup is a great way to find that out.  As other posters have stated, it's relatively close, attracts great talent, and is fun for the kids.  My son loves travelling for soccer and bonding with teammates.[/quote]
