[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funny thing is that the tail end of this thread has focused on softball when the OP is about 2nd graders (probably soccer, let's be real here). There aren't a lot of 8U softball travel teams in the DMV.[/quote]

As far as I'm aware, no soccer league has 8u either. [/quote]

I was under the distinct impression teams like this were becoming increasingly popular: https://www.sycva.com/pretravelacademy. The only kids I knew in 2nd grade who were playing travel were playing soccer.[/quote]

The link didn't work.  Our club has teams starting with 2018s.  The 2018s practice twice a week for 3/4 of the year.  They play 3v3 games with each other at the beginning and end of practices and very few games outside the club.  The cost is more than a rec league, but we are getting paid coaches and more field time.  The emphasis is on fun.  The price for our family is a nonfactor, and the drive is no worse than the rec league, so signing up a 2018-born kid with the club program over rec was a no-brainer.   I don't care if DC is still playing soccer a few years from now, as DC is having fun and developing an athletic base to serve DC in future sports if soccer doesn't stick.

Also, hockey is a sport that requires a lot of travel at a young age because we lack the depth here to play competitive hockey without any travel.  [/quote]
