[quote=Anonymous]So, my 2010 birthday rec player spent a lot of time playing soccer in the backyard with the kids in our pod this year, and is now saying he'd like to be serious soccer player.  His favorite position is goalkeeper.  He's definitely got the right physical type for it, very tall, explosive strength, and the right personality as far as I can tell, doesn't mind pressure, fiercely competitive, but able to brush something off and get back in the game.  He has been super active during covid, so he's in great shape.  He's playing rec this spring, and his coach says he shows promise, but there may be some bias.

But I don't really know what serious soccer would look like.  When people talk about "travel" soccer, what level of commitment are they talking about?  Both time and money?  How do you find a team?  Is there something between travel and rec?  Is it realistic to jump from rec to travel this late?   What is the try out process?  Also, besides general conditioning, and goalkeeping in the back yard, what else should he be doing.

We're in Silver Spring, so we'd want a MD team.[/quote]
