Their U13 Premier team is one of the top five teams in the nation, so someone is doing something right there - experience aside.

Not just a this year thing. We had the experience of coaches not showing up pre-covid.

I love PPA Premiere...we've had a great experience with two kids...but I'm not sure why you'd pay their price for rec.

Wait, the coach just...doesn’t show up? Are they parent volunteers? That is so weird.

We had the same experience for years. So irritating. We moved to the newly renamed Stoddert. Greet, coach is a parent but they have refs and full size fields!

Same here -- two kids, two coaches, and they have been super committed. Sorry you haven't had a good experience, OP. Have you raised this with the folks guys who run it?

PPA really sucks this year - so many coaches just don’t show up to practice or games. Can anyone please recommend another decent league for recreational soccer. For 2nd and 3rd graders. Ideally in NW DC or Bethesda/CC Maryland. Thank you in advance!
