[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ because of what has happened to the sport I loved.  The travel has gotten out of control.  It’s more exclusionary than ever.  I get tired of hearing parents never play the sport act like driving to “Beach” will make their kid a National team player.

The time wasted on the Interstate as big as the DMV given the amount of talent in a 44 minute radius (1 hour tops) radius is just insane.  It’s killing the sport for young kids.

But parents will sign up and pay big bucks for the abuse and highway to nowhere.

I’m angry because all of the local/closest choice Clubs for us are some of the biggest travelers.  The sport got away from being about the kids to making it a lucrative business for adults selling snake oil.

I’m waiting for the pendulum to swing.  Sigh.  So this is where I vent.[/quote]

And yet there are options that do not require such extensive travel. These are all choices in life my friend. Information is freely available on the internet and people have no excuse to be either conned nor surprised.

And within those large clubs are teams who do play in more truly localized leagues. Put your kid in on one of those teams instead. [/quote]
