[quote=Anonymous][quote]I[/quote] maintain that the current US travel system does not work for the below U13 set. Kids can show for one tryout and then are locked in place for an entire year. Kids change drastically in these years--even month-to-month. It should be a pool of players that can be reconfigured as they change. Some kids will exceed and not be getting enough challenge by December and some top team players will be floundering and taking space away from kids that need to move up. It should not be a 'punitive' environment. The color divisions make it a caste system and kids and parents get all worked up into a frenzy over this stuff.[quote] Agreed except I'd go further and say it doesn't work through u-15. Too much emphasis on winning, too much emphasis on bigger, stronger, faster at younger ages, too little emphasis on technical skills at younger ages, and too darn much driving. Kids spend more time sitting in cars than they do actually playing and practicing. [/quote]
