[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is not on the 1st or 2nd team, you might as well stay in Rec (esp clubs with 5 or 6 teams at each age). They are just taking your money, and taking you for a ride[/quote] Disagree. My kid started off on a 5th team, and now plays ECNL. She wound up far better than most of the first and second teamers years ago. I think lower travel teams are great, and absolutely better than rec. [/quote] Agree with PP. The advantage of travel -- even lower-level travel -- is professional coaching. You may not see much of a difference on the field 4 weeks into the season, but the kids are learning skills and game IQ that will bear fruit later (assuming you have a competent coach.) In rec, one or two skilled kids scores a bunch and makes the team look good. But learning real soccer - passing, formations, channels, positioning - takes time. [/quote]
