[quote=Anonymous]Do any of the travel clubs near you offer some sort of pre-travel Academy? If so, that could be a good happy medium for next year. At our club that is a supplement to rec soccer. My son did it in second grade so that we could figure out whether he really liked having an additional day of soccer practice before paying all that money for travel soccer. He loved it and is now in his second year on a travel team. He is on the top team and a couple of his teammates did start playing travel in second grade. As PP noted, these kids are bigger/stronger than most their age and could hold their own with older kids. My son would not have done so well with that as he needed more time to build up his confidence. If your child is skilled but small, I would be careful putting them on a travel team with older kids. The style of play will be more physical and it could lead to him disliking soccer if he’s just getting knocked down over and over.[/quote]
