[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What league is this?  I thought the local youth sports leagues had "house" teams open to all the kids who want to play, and "travel" teams for the more skilled/hard-core players. [/quote]

There were enough skilled players to create an extra travel league, but not enough facility and coaches to accommodate it. Kids will eventually give up when they've been playing in house league for years and not have the opportunity to play travel. Anyway, the answer that were given for turning away many kids at the tryouts who could otherwise develop better playing skills by competing with a variety of teams outside of APS at the travel level was that practicing facilities were limited.[/quote]

How sad is that that a generation ago no travel teams existed and now children will turn away from a sport because they can't play travel. Maybe if there were more house players and less cost going toward travel, there would be more local money put toward the local recreation infrastructure.[/quote]
