[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about ADP? They have spring tryouts but only have spots if kids from fall drop out. 
Is he doing winter indoor soccer?[/quote]

Thank you. Do you mean ADP within Arlington soccer?

It seems that they will have a tryout n March before the beginning of Spring: "ADP selected players to participate in both the Fall and Spring Seasons.  Prior to the Spring season, a tryout will occur in March for any openings in ADP due to players not returning.  Only players not currently in ADP need to tryout."

So, ADP teaches skills at above rec level but will less time/money commitment than travel soccer? Is that accurate? If they meet at least 2-3 times a week, that may be great for us.

[b]What would be the reason to go to travel vs. ADP at this age (8) / later age?[/b][i]

Thank you so much!

ADP is a great program in between Rec and Travel. ADP practice 2 times a week (1 with professional coach and 1 with parents volunteer). It can be a hit or miss depend on the coaches you get. Some pp love it and some don't. It's a step up from Rec and more challenging but not as intense as Travel. Travel practices 3 times a week with professional coaches, unless you make the top 2 teams (or at least mid-tier) it probably not worth the time & money UNLESS your kid ABSOLUTELY LOVE SOCCER and willing to go to all the practices and games.

ADP is a good compromise between the 2 worlds. My daughter (9) is in travel that did ADP (played up a year). She loves travel and happy to go to every single practices/games. Personally, 9 is too young for any travel sport, it's too intense in my opinion but my daughter wouldn't rather be anywhere else beside on the soccer field.[/quote]
