[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would find a year round futsal program as young as possible, probably 7 or 8. [/quote]

+1. Probably better off doing Futsal and/or some additional training/camps and moving up to the meat grinder that is travel once the kid is playing year round because they WANT to be doing training and camps in winter and summer and practicing 3x per week, as opposed to because you put them on a year-round team.[/quote]

Yes. Futsal is what matters for young players. combine it with private training and you will be so far beyond any travel player.[/quote]

Private training, are you all serious FFS, this is soccer!  Fi d a good rec coach that trains well, they exist as they are training their kid as well, stick with them and take your DC to several tryouts during tryouts season. When you can see your child is ready and won't be placed on the last team, enroll in travel.  Most parents can see how their child plays competitively with others, and if you're not lying to yourself, you can see when DC is ready.  Moving too early to travel, combined with a bad coach is the fastest way to burnout your kid and have them hate soccer.[/quote]
