[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much travel and how far? I know some say travel and it’s to the next county over. Some say travel and it’s a couple of hours away with a night or two in a hotel. These are drastically different. [/quote]

This would be local practices (but more days a week), games 45 mins away, and tournaments a few times a year longer distances away - maybe 1-2 that would require hotels. It’s not overwhelming, but enough that this would be kid’s only activity. [/quote]

This sounds reasonable, especially if this is the kid’s only activity. I would advise that you allow your daughter to try out. Rec soccer becomes more frustrating for skilled players as they get older - most of the skilled players will commit to travel soccer, and the rest will treat rec soccer as a second or third priority to their main sport. If you wait until 11/12 to join travel, it’s harder to catch up.

You will also have to decide if she will try out for just her club or any additional ones. The teams are not huge at this age - 10u roster is limited to 12.

And don’t think about hs or college plans! If your kid really wanted piano lessons, I’m sure you would decide without considering her chances of making it as a concert pianist. She likes it NOW. That’s enough. [/quote]
