[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why so many parents are signing their youth kids up for travel. Are rec and local teams terrible from 2nd grade and on? Does every halfway decent kid have to join a travel team if they want to play? [/quote] Development is typically better with travel, which is why it is more expensive. It's hard to catch up if you miss out on skill development in the early years. Personally, I would love it if our travel program was 3 weekly practices, a couple travel tournaments, and the rest of the season the competition is local. We're in it for the development, not the travel, and haven't found a better option than travel for development. Maybe in some sports it works out to start travel later, but not in the ones my kids play. [/quote]
