[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone noticed this? I realize all clubs took a hit from COVID but now it is as if anyone can make a travel team. Parents are paying thousands of $$$ to be on a mediocre travel soccer team. This is nothing like it used to be even just a few years ago where just to make a travel team was super competitive. Rec leagues now can barely make up a few teams where they used to have several per age group. Just an observation from a parent who has had a kid on a travel soccer team for several years. Now younger kid has been doing rec soccer and was asked to tryout for travel this year… opted not to due to another sport he excels more at. But honestly the likely hood would be he’d make a 3rd or 4th travel team for soccer…. Just did not seem right.[/quote]

It’s not as competitive as it used to be. But the top teams are still the top teams. There is just more room at the bottom for kids who want the experience. This area is very wealthy compared to others. I lived in [b]shitty Idaho for 3 years[/b] for my job and I can promise you they don’t have anywhere near the amount of soccer teams, trainers, or programs as we have hear. Then again, I know software developers and government contractors who spend twice as much as their kids NCSL Division 5 club fee on law maintenance or hiring a pool guy in Bethesda. So who are we to judge if people have the money and leisure time to watch their kids kick a ball with the wrong side of the foot? [/quote]
