[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should be a lot of fun. How old is your kid? A fair warning though, from a European, have your kid be aware that they will be below par to most junior teams in Europe, no matter the country. Club football/soccer in Europe is vastly different to club soccer here. And in general much, much better. If kids are a bit older, they would not be there if they were not pretty good.[/quote] I don't think this is likely to be true if the team from here is a reasonably high level one. In our experience (both from what we've seen on trips to the Netherlands and England and read), most good US boys' teams are competitive with their European counterparts up until U16 or so. That's when US kids start falling behind due to the lack of tactically astute coaching options here.[/quote]
