[quote=Anonymous]Lived in Europe for three years.  Warning: you will not receive any level of training you are used to here.  Also, the cost will be five times more.  It is a business here - with the sales pitch that your son or daughter will win a college scholarship - in order to keep the checks going.  In Europe, of course, it is subsidized by the state and they are looking for professionals.  Do NOT do Bethesda right now.  Wait until spring and official tryouts.  They will place your talented European on a ‘wild card’ team never to be seen on the top team. (That’s for families that pay from the beginning or for a star player who defeats them in a crucial game - and they are then poached).  This is all travel teams modus vivendi.  Instead I would join one of the European private school teams.  They usually have a coach from overseas.  2x practice and a game on Saturday afternoon.  One thousand bucks.  Also, most important - friends who are in the same boat and European technical training to boot!  (Pun intended). I think the German school team are called the Wolves.[/quote]
