  But D.C. United player Devon McTavish - a former James Wood High School and West Virginia University standout - knows the current numbers don't lie.
  
  More school age kids in the area play soccer than any other sport.
  
  In conjunction with the Riverfront Christian School in Front Royal, McTavish, now living in Arlington, came back home to promote the sport he loves to nearly a 100 players comprising the Rams youth soccer teams last Wednesday.
  
  "I'm promoting the sport I love," said the 22-year-old McTavish, a second-year midfielder for D.C. United."It's not as big as football, baseball or basketball, but there are kids that truly have a passion for it."
  
  McTavish spent over an hour at Riverfront - a part of Riverton United Methodist Church - signing autographs, posing for pictures, answering questions and even taking a few shots on goal to the delight of the Rams JV and middle school girls' teams.

  McTavish said being a successful soccer player is more than just being a great athlete.
  
  "Technical ability is a thing that is often overlooked, especially in this area," he said."We don't have a lot of experienced coaches - although it's getting better.A lot of them think athletic ability is enough, but nothing replaces good technique."
  
  McTavish said the difference between high school soccer, collegiate soccer and the pro game is astounding.
  
  "In high school most people just play for fun," McTavish said."The big difference [professionally] is overall technique and athletic ability all over the field.At the pro level if you're not performing you're out of a job.There's a lot more passion."
  
  McTavish then answered a few more questions from the Riverfront players, such as:

  2008: In a season that saw a host of lineup changes from the previous year, McTavish was again one of the most versatile players on the squad. The third-year player began the year as a right midfielder and scored three goals in the team's first two Champions' Cup games. As injuries decimated the team, he was then used as a central back, defensive midfielder and right midfielder. He finished the League season with a goal and four assists in 26 games (25 starts). In all competitions, McTavish tallied four goals and five assists in 42 games (40 starts).
  
  2007: After a rookie season that saw him play just 265 minutes, McTavish made giant strides during his second year. The Winchester, Virginia native made 22 appearances (20 starts) and totaled 1,825 minutes on the pitch as one of the most adaptable players on the team. Used primarily as a center back, McTavish also played at various times as an outside defender, defensive midfielder and outside winger. He was an important part of a defense that allowed just 34 goals in 30 games - third fewest in MLS.
  
  2006: McTavish made five first-team appearances (three starts) in 2006, logging a total of 265 minutes on the pitch. He made his MLS debut on 6/21, coming on as a second-half sub in the team's 1-0 win over Chicago. He earned his first MLS start on 6/24 in United's 1-0 win over Kansas City. His time was limited when he had surgery to remove a portion of his meniscus on 7/27. McTavish also contributed to the reserve team, making eight appearances (seven starts), as the team put together a 6-5-1 record.
  
  College 2005: Following his senior season at West Virginia University, McTavish was named to the NSCAA All-Mid Atlantic Third Team. He was also a recipient of one of the 2006 Big East Male Scholar Athlete awards. He finished his career ranked third all-time in school history with 75 matches played as a Mountaineer.
  
  2004: As a junior, McTavish played in 20 total games (19 starts). He scored two goals in WVU's 5-0 win against Mount St. Mary's, scored the game-winner against Villanova in WVU's 1-0 win and another game-winning goal against St. John's to give WVU its first berth into the Big East semi-finals.
  
  2003: During his sophomore campaign, McTavish started 16 of the 17 matches he saw time in. He finished second on the team in scoring, recording five goals and two assists. He scored the game-winner against St. Francis and scored two goals against Pittsburgh.
  
  2002: McTavish started in 14 of 15 games as a freshman.
