[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t play travel hoping to play in college.  We play for the organized practices 3-4 days a week for 10 months a year.  The friendships, the tournament fun, and hopefully the professional coaching vs a parent.  The many (so many more than rec) games and scrimmages they always look forward to year round.  Personally I don’t understand the 8 week rec soccer idea with a random parent coach and teammates.  If you get lucky with a coach or team that’s great.  But still it’s only for a few weeks a year.

Those are fair points to bring up. Still unnecessarily expensive. We’re from England, where kids start “travel style” programs recreationally at a young age for literally a few dollars equivalent a month. anyone could play them. Looking at the players England and other countries produce then compare them to the USMNT..something’s unfortunately broken here.

Definitely think it’s not beneficial having a random parent coach. They just pick their kid and their friends to play and put their least productive players in goal or on the bench. [/quote]
