[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the club, it can be very difficult to get a spot the second year. For instance, I don't think DC Stoddert took anyone new last year for u10, especially not on the blue (top) team. You want to get on the best team as earlier as possible as there is little movement down or up the ranks once the roster is set. Plus it's hard to come to travel (at a high level) a year or two late just because it's hard to develop the same skills in a rec program. It's almost a different game---the field is 4 times the size and it's all based on passing whereas rec at age 9 or 10 is still often the Lord-of-flies mad dash to the ball with a few stand-out players shooting.
