[quote=Anonymous]So what's your answer to fixing rec soccer? Pay to train parent volunteers? It might help a little, but it still won't make up for never having played the sport. And you're still not going to attract the more serious players who will flock to paid coaching available through travel programs. Pay professional coaches to run it, but keep the level of commitment low? I don't know...if I were a paid coach and good at what I did, I'd rather work for a travel club than a rec program. Again, doesn't address the exodus of players to travel and it would make the cost of rec go up. I think it would be tough to 'undo' the availability of travel soccer for 2nd graders...that train left the station. In Northern Virginia, there are lower key travel programs that allow kids to play other sports or pursue other interests. It's not like the DA is the only game in town. Lots of complaining, but no solutions. [/quote]
