[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]It's hard to make a travel team in middle school, though, when you are competing against kids that have had travel experience/instruction for 2-4 years.[/b] It's not for everyone. Some people love it. There are lots of kids that try out for things like travel soccer a year earlier than they are even supposed to. To each their own. [/quote] This is the problem. Generally your kid won't make the travel team in late elementary or middle school if they haven't been playing travel since 3rd grade. If they're not playing travel they also won't make their middle or high school teams (should they want to do that). Of course there are athletic phenom outliers but it's generally hard to make up for 5 years of intense practice when you're 12 or 13. I personally think this all stinks but it is what it is. [/quote] And then people wonder why kids stop playing sports as they get older. [/quote]
