[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much bad advice on this thread. I coach travel 8-10 year old baseball, so I don't know or care much about soccer. I do know sports and kids though. And I can tell you that with parents like you and the other comminters, it's no wonder the U.S. team can't make the World Cup.

OK Chief, we'll believe you because you're a "long-time veteran"  :lol: .

Your kid misses reps if he doesn't play travel at U-8 and U-9. Period.

He doesn't learn what it's like to get shoved to the ground against a better player.

He doesn't learn what it's like to have a team dinner with his teammates at Sizzler. As an aside, he doesn't get to work with his teammates to learn how to flirt with girls, by working together as a group to learn how to flatter them. Waitresses are great for this.

The training and coaching economy falls apart if families don't shell out for extra coaching. I make a solid $250 every month coaching kids in their transition from t-ball to coach-pitch. I set the foundetion that they use over time.

There is nothing, NOTHING, like walking through school with your travel uniform on. Smirking at the other kids who can't make travel. It's like waring a letterman jacket but younger.

When you pull your kid out, he doesn't learn teamwork. He also can't show commitment to a program built on the sweat he dropped in his ES and MS years--and the bucks that his parents shelled out.

When I build a program, I want kids whose parents are also commited. I want kids who can open up their indoor gym for practice when it rains. Yeah, that's right, the indoor gym--because that benefits the hole team and gets everyone more reps.

You gotta give to get.[/quote]

I can't tell if this is satire or not, but in case it isn't, you're gross. You teach 8-10 year olds to flirt with waitresses? To smirk at the other kids not on the travel team?

Avoiding people like you, and the kids on your team, is a good reason not to let your kid play travel.[/quote]
