Is PPA playing this fall? They have different levels to check on. And you can also bring your own team if you prefer.

BSC, Potomac down to 2 teams in some age groups. Haven't checked the Virginia teams yet. Anyone know about those?


Not sure how far from McLean you are, or Arlington.

So stoddert, or DCYFC? If your old team is not playing, you can gab your kids old teammates and form a rec team in Stoddert rec. They let travel kids play. MSI is also an option but you will be driving. Same with the VA clubs. There are also some futsal clubs who are planning on playing outside. The thing is it is not looking good for the fall.

Montgomery County is behind the rest of the state but some clubs have been more cautious than others.

Kind of hard now with stifled practices being mostly drills.


You can at least see how the coach treats the players. If there are going to be games in the fall, practices will move to the next level. Many clubs in Maryland are having regular practices now. Is it Montgomery County that is limiting them?

A club that is within a 15 minute drive should suffice. Don't make it more complicated than that.
