[quote=soccermom316][quote=Nova2Euro]Please don't think that your son can't be on a "good" team. There are good teams at PAC, good teams at Alexandria, etc. To repeat what others have said, this is what's important:
1) to like the coach;
2) to like his teammates;
3) to enjoy going to training and matches.

I've been doing the soccer parent thing a long time and the intensity of my emotions has sometimes shocked me. The best thing you can do for your kid is dial back or hide those intense emotions and just let them be a kid playing soccer. If they want to improve, help them set goals for juggling/keep-ups and find some youtube videos on how to kick a ball against a wall. IF they want to.

Thank you! He loves soccer and this is all him asking if he can join a travel team for next year. We encouraged him to do the tryouts and then pick the team where he liked the coach and kids. He had a lot of fun at Villarreal, and I thought the coaches and kids/parents were really nice and the play/direction was appropriate for this age group. ADP sounds like good training as well. I'm trying to navigate this as a parent who is totally in the dark and doesn't want her kid to "miss out" on opportunities due to my ignorance of how the system works. Sounds like that may happen anyway, which is fine. ;)[/quote]
