[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard stories of families driving hours for just a hour practice. I'm asking y'all what is your average? my commute is about a hour during rush hour but 45 min with no traffic is that normal? this is for a CCL club and next year we are thinking of joining a ECNL/DA team but all are far for us. Is it really worth it?[/quote]

We have a 1.5 hr drive one way for DD DA/ECNL team and we’re not the only one’s on the team who do.  We sit down each season and evaluate if it is still worth it to our family.  The things we take into account are:

-does DD still have the goal of pursuing college soccer
-is she still developing with that coach/club
-does she still enjoy teammates/coach
-is the commute effecting the family in any negative ways (marriage, academics, other children, financially, etc)

We make the commitment season to season.  For our family it has worked well so far.  DD loves team/coach, we get quality time together in the car and she also gets all her homework done during the drive.

but now that she hasn't been selected to the national training center... is it still worth it? She's not the super star at FCV that she was at the other clubs.  She's a small fish in a big pond of excellent players.[/quote]
