H66 --

You're right. It doesn't have to be a choice. But why stop at two teams for a talented 7th or 8th grader? Why not do arena soccer, too? Or work out with the WUSA when and if they come back? I personally have found that my daughters do well playing for one good team at a time. That has seemed to meet their needs and has produced some pretty good athletes along the way. ODP is a sideline activity and doesn't figure in as far as I'm concerned.
