[quote=Anonymous]Rec kids don't always show up for games.  When you pay, there's an added incentive to actually play :) the formality of it as weird as it sounds makes it meaningful.  There's a spirit of seriousness you don't find in rec.  as much as I agree travel soccer is a business, DD really enjoys the competition and the pride she has with a winning team that plays even if it's windy or cold or blazing hot out.  We've played in freezing pouring rain and practiced in the same.  There's a certain amount of discipline you have on a travel team you will never find in a rec one and this is true even if it's a 0-10 travel team really.  You're in the system and as imperfect as it is, you still have the rules and participation required to be in that system and it impacts you at age 8, 9, or 10 or whatever.  It's fun to play tournaments together as a team.  In rec you play a 50 min fun game and then you are done.  It's great but there's no commitment and no continuity and that's really what you get when you play travel. [/quote]
