[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same as everyone else..driving hours to play teams from the same local area. Learning the alphabet playing WC Eagles A through Z just to get crushed by them at NITs. Well unless you get lucky and get Texas Pride 1 through infinity.   Meanwhile a DD gets two minutes of playing time while the promise child age 13 and under play for U16/19 and contributes little if any to the game. Have only been witness to this for 10 years so maybe it’s a new fad. Sarcasm if you didn’t catch it or if it hit close to home.  Why can’t we just let these play the game they love. If we really want quality play maybe we should do it by USAFH regions.  This mega clubs then would have to play against themselves.[/quote]

We have so many good clubs in the DMV so it surprises me we get just 1 NIQ site and date (Meadowbrook). There is probably a shortage of indoor court space in this area and Meadowbrook is just a miserable place to be, being so dirty, everyone so closely packed it, balls hitting spectators, but a place like Garrison Forest would work.[/quote]

Not a fan of Meadowbrook. But it’s hard to find indoor space bc places don’t want their floors torn up by the sticks. And the local Clubs don’t have space of their own. So they’re limited where they can even practice- forget hosting tourneys.

This are has several clubs, though I dont think any of them are “good” like you find in PA. Nova def isn’t a college feeder. We lack the courts/fields. We lack coaches- including specialty coaching like you see in PA and even in VA Beach. Would love to see something like The Vault in Nova. And regular position-specific coaching. My kid made huge gains doing those things but we spent a lot of weekends gone doing it. Would be great to have those resources locally. [/quote]
