[quote=Anonymous][quote] We had a great experience with our DC on a lower team travel team at U9. Most of what you're paying for at that age is coaching (which was light years better than house), competition (the lowest team was still full of house all stars), practice facilities (better than house), and tournaments. You won't get everything the top team gets, but if the alternative is house, we were very happy in our decision. Everyone says it's a money grab, and it may be from the perspective that our DC will likely never get a college scholarship. That said, it was a great experience, and she blossomed into one of the best players on the team, moving up to the second highest team the next season.[/quote] I'm not sure "everyone" says a lower team is a money grab at U-9. Plenty of kids with a future in soccer get passed over for the top team at that age. But at U12 or U13, a motivated kid is less likely to have a positive experience on a lower team.[/quote]
