[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not into it but the whole travel sports industry is pretty laughable.[/quote] Why? [/quote] I think a lot of it is keeping up with Jones's, being in the club, or being able to say I am/my kid is on a travel xyz team. You are giving up weekend, weekend. to go stay in a hotel, to hang out with other parents while you kid plays a couple games a day, for what really? Odds are your kid isn't getting a scholarship, not going pro, and once they go to college aren't going to use that skill set much at all. They aren't going to be infinitely better than playing on a local club team. It is just a trendy thing parent's feel they should do.[/quote] As PPs have pointed out, beyond a certain age, rec options dwindle. I have a friend who coaches older boys in soccer, and every year he struggles to field a full team.[/quote]
