[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing wrong with keeping your kid out of travel at u9 but they tend to fall behind.  If you wait 3 years to put your DC in travel, everyone else has had proper training and you tend to be playing catch up unless your kid is naturally talented.  They are getting zero development or competition at the rec level, its mostly for the fun aspect. [/quote]

Is travel training really that much better than rec?

Which travel leagues in DC are the best? Best being nurturing, supportively, about player developmental.

I thought rec leagues were supposed to be better for that and travel leagues were all about grooming stars.  [/quote]

Yes, 45 practices per season run by professional coaches is better than the 7 or 8 parent coached practices you get in rec.  There are several practice activities you just can't do in rec because many of the kids can't do the basics.  The kids love rec to be with their friends but are only maybe learning the most basic skills, even if their rec coach is very good.  I don't know that things like nurture and supportive are part of the travel vocabulary, and is pretty coach dependent, that's what parents and good assistant coaches are for.[/quote]
