[quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of a club offering travel meets for a new beginner level 8 year old. What would be the point? Most of those meets have fast qualifying times anyway, and if they don’t, there is no reason to travel unless you live in a very rural area with very few teams/meets. Even then, I can’t see traveling at entry level when they should just be learning the basics. My kid started traveling at 9 but he was already getting AA+ times at that age and qualifying for bigger meets. At 10 he did more long distance travel when he was faster and qualifying for Zones, etc. It’s a lot of time and expense and I never would have done it if there wasn’t a good reason. [/quote]
