        We play in the Washington Premier League, which actually has multiple tiers of leagues within it - villain October 15, 2025, 15:28:38

    - My wife and I are both opposed to travel. Huge time commitment not to mention cost - WesMantooth October 15, 2025, 6:50:48
      - Agree with all of what you said...especially about rec leagues/park district being competitive. - OskeeWowWowDig October 15, 2025, 9:19:56
