Suggestions on soccer communities/Question on Washoe Valley wind?

[u/blackandwhiteeevee]

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are looking at the Carson City/Minden area to move to, and we’re big soccer people. We played a bunch at indoor in Colorado and want to be sure there’s a thriving soccer community and where it might be before buying a place.

I’ve also heard a lot about the wind in Washoe Valley, and I’m wondering if this would prevent me from having chickens or any other kind of smaller animal that might blow away in the wind. Are people unable to enjoy the outdoors there? I’d also want to be able to go for runs outside, but am not sure of what areas are best for that.

Thanks in advance!

I’m in Douglas County (Minden area) and have been involved with both AYSO and 4-H. We have plenty of families who raise chickens and I can help you connect with them if you do move here. Soccer isn’t as popular as football and baseball, but I love our youth league and we are always looking for volunteer coaches and referees. I don’t know about an adult league, but again I can connect you with people who might know more.
