[quote=Anonymous]I have a U10 dd who currently plays MSI Classic and has begging to try out for travel.  For this year, I said no because we have a big family and I didn't want to commit to the 'travel' part for one kid.

Before she starts begging to do spring tryouts, I'd like to know more about what we would be in for if she made a team-- in particular, how far and how often teams travel long distances for games.  We live in Bethesda, so I guess she would try out for Bethesda and/or Potomac.  I poked around the Bethesda Soccer website and couldn't get a handle on things like how often they have games, and how often the games are distant from Bethesda.

Do these teams have a regular weekend game schedule and ALSO go to tournaments?  Or are the games always held within the context of tournaments?  Is it only the tournaments that require distant travel, or would we need to drive an hour or two for a single weekend game, as well?

I know the details will depend on the club/team but I'm just looking for general information before I even bother to look into spring tryouts.  Right now, I'm really liking Classic with a professional coach but from what I've heard, by U12 we should seriously be looking at Travel if she wants to be serious about soccer.

TIA!
