[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, it’s the high school impact. If they don’t make the school team (and know they don’t want to / aren’t going to play in college) they reassess the commitment to travel. [/quote] I know of a couple of cases in which U14/15 soccer players make the high school team and then quit the travel team to play high school and rec. Same idea, though - we're talking about players for whom high school is going to be the pinnacle of their soccer careers. They know they're not playing in college. Another factor, though this is probably true moreso on lower-level travel teams than ECNL and also more likely to be true at U9 or U10 than U14, is that some travel players still manage a second sport, and they may opt to focus on the other sport instead.
