[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer was pretty popular where I grew up, and I remember there being three primary levels: - "house" soccer, AKA rec - "select" - a bump up from house but games were still in the metro area, not as expensive as travel - "travel"- was competitive and only the really good kids made the team My kid is still young and on the rec team, but I hope there is some middle ground like the above.[/quote] Ideally, this is the way it would happen but, sadly, it doesn't really exist any more. Youth sports are irreparably broken because there's too much money in the system. A lot of people can make money from sports (leagues, venues, trainers and coaches) and parents are willing to spend that money in the hope that their kid can just keep up. [/quote] This is MSI Soccer’s model. They still have Classic soccer and some of the coaches are paid so you can get development too.[/quote]
