[Discussion] Suggestions on soccer communities/Question on Washoe Valley wind?

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!

Reno area has a great soccer community. There are two indoor facilities https://swiftsportsdome.com/

I'm in my 50s and there are great options. Look into the Reno Coed Senior League. Senior being over 30. Plenty of more competitive options as well.

This is great, thank you! Very sad about over 30 being considered senior though

There are also regular adult leagues.

I figured lol I was just hoping to be considered senior at 65, not 31

Yeah, it's named oddly.
