My daughters club team had a friendly game versus a team that traveled all the way from Williamsburg, VA. They must have really wanted a game since they were willing to brave the 95 South traffic for a 4 p.m. start. Directly following her game we headed over to the Majestics home field, George Hellwig Memorial Park in Mannassas, VA. Since I had never attended a USL W-League game before there was some uncertainty on my part about what to expect with regards to the quality of play and the size of the crowd. Well, I was presently surprised on both fronts. The crowd attendance must have been somewhere between 100-115 people and the talent level of the players was fantastic. Come to find out almost all of the players for both teams play college soccer and most of them at local schools in Virginia and Maryland.
Although this was the last game of the season for the Majestics they will be back in action next summer. Anyone in the Northern Virginia area looking to see some quality Women's soccer should make plans to spend some sunny summer afternoons supporting these local USL W-League teams.
