[quote=Anonymous]DS 8 (2nd grade) is asking to play travel soccer in the fall. He currently plays on an MSI rec team with a great coach and many friends from school but he complains that the other kids are always goofing off and he wants to practice and play more.

I really don't know the first thing about soccer. I don't even know if he would be trying out for U8 or U9. His birthday is 3/2008.

Does anybody have feedback on Academy, Potomac, Lions and/or Rush?

Do they really cut kids or just put the weaker players on lower teams and still call it travel? I don't want to just pay to play. If I pay, I want to know that it's because he really belongs in travel.  The flip side is I would also hate for him to make a really competitive team and then spend a lot of time on the bench. I really don't feel like I can fairly assess his ability but he does gets lots of praise from coaches, parents and players.

I'm also planning to check with MSI to see if he would able to play up a year and move to Classic (it doesn't officially start until 4th). Has anyone done this?[/quote]
