[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad they are separated. It would have been interesting to see what happened if the 3rd or 4th travel team in a club got crushed by their own rec team in league play [/quote]

Oh we all know what would happen.

I saw a U16 division one SFL game playing before our younger NCSL game and there were some GOOD players.

When my kids played rec and did rec league all stars, they used to regularly scrimmage the lower level (B, C, D) travel teams to get ready for the tournament. After a few years, the travel teams started being 'busy" and they stopped scrimmaging. Why? Because the all star teams always beat them.[/quote]

As kids get older a few things seem to happen. First, some kids who are good at travel soccer decide to drop it for another sport. A good number of those kids end up in SFL. Second, a lot of the really un-athletic kids whose parents make them play sports quit. The result is some SFL teams that are as good as travel teams, but are made up of kids who prefer lax, swim, bball... to soccer.  [/quote]
