Nice comments from Next Level mom about cheating and fly-ins. Last I heard, Next Level has a goalie from Richmond on their 27 team.

But who really cares and why the “fly-in” detest anyway? Don’t you want your kids to play with the best players? Doesn’t that make everyone better? Should your kid get to keep his spot because of his zip code or how long he has been on the team?

And we should get used to it anyway. Madlax, Next Level and DCE all have out of town kids playing on the high school aged teams. If my son ever complains about it, I’ll feel sorry for him, but I’ll also tell him that all he can do is work harder to get better.
