[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m new to travel soccer but the way some people talk like their kids are so special they were “ offered a spot” on the team or “invited” I don’t get it. Is this just part of soccer language? [/quote] It is not soccer language specifically, this applies to almost all youth 'travel sports' with tryouts. The travel organizations like use this language create an atmosphere of scarcity and FOMO among parents. But also, at bigger clubs where team placement is competitive, not everyone is 'offered a spot' and the higher level teams do in fact 'invite' players to practice and guest play with their teams. Welcome to the strange world of travel sports. I agree, it is a lot different than how I grew up playing Rec, MS and HS soccer in Florida.[/quote]
