[quote=Anonymous]So your kid made a travel team? My take: they have too many teams now. The kids/families on the lower teams I've talked to were not happy with the return on investment--lack of attention. In 2010/2011 there were just 4 teams per age group which kept the pool competitive and there was adequate attention/time/field space for the 4 teams. Now in a lot of age groups--and especially the girl's side--they are just taking bodies to fill spots. Additionally, with the birth year change kids were having to start travel soccer before I think is a developmentally/psychologically appropriate time for such structure (long seasons with 3Xweek practices, etc.). Many kids at this age want to play other sports too. This gets in the way of flag football, baseball, lacrosse, etc. And, let me say, this isn't just Arlington. You could apply the same reasoning to MANY travel clubs in the area.[/quote]
