[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree it's dumb and this is one of many reasons we will never do travel sports. It's a scam. If you child is very talented and hard working, [b]they can get scouted without doing travel sports[/b], and if they are not, they can get all the benefit necessary out of local leagues. There is no compelling reason for travel sports in a place like the DMV.[/quote]

Speaking of scams, is it me or is this whole "Signing up for college coach representation and networking" not also a major scam?  Our oldest started club sports at 11 yrs old and they were trying to get us to pay for representation through high school???  Insane. We have ignored it now for 2 more years, but is there anything truly worthwhile about those agents or is it a scam until you're actually in a high ranking travel team?[/quote]

It is always a scam. When the time comes, join the Facebook group called Educating Parents of HS Athletes on the Recruiting Process. I learned about it on dcum. It is incredibly helpful and free. And on those high level teams, the coach should be helping your athlete through the process, calling college coaches, etc. Your athlete will be emailing and reaching out to coaches with video and attending camps. Don’t pay anyone for this, scam scam scam.[/quote]

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful to know - appreciate it![/quote]
