[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as the kid is having fun and enjoys playing, find the right level play for them and let them play! Why parents keep spending thousands for 5th and 6th string club teams when there are so many Recreation kids having a ball is beyond me.[/quote]

[b]Which clubs have strong girls rec leagues after 4th grade? [/b] Because from what I've seen, as the kids get older, the rec leagues drop off significantly and you end up with combined age groups of 2 - 3 years.  Not sure how that is better than playing on a lower level travel team.  Also, typically the kids who play travel at least want to be there (not always, but the vast majority), even if they aren't the most skilled player.  That alone was the reason my DD wanted to play travel.  She was tired of playing with girls who literally would just stand there during the games.  Her current team isn't amazing, but the kids are all trying.

In Virginia we have the Suburban Friendship League for inter-club rec soccer competition right up to U-19. https://www.sflsoccer.org
Age groups are split into Division 1 for stronger teams and Division 2 for weaker teams.   
There is plenty of good rec soccer being played in SFL.  My SFL team has several players who have played, or are currently playing, for their high school teams.
