[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what it's going to happen, parents have to now go to the ncsl website to register their kids for rec. Once they go to the website they're going to have the Epiphany that there is this level above, and then there's going to be a drive towards having their kids trap for the club's travel teams.

You think having d e f g teams is bad? Now there's going to be h i j k level teams because we're parents are going to become aware that travel soccer exists and want better for their kids[/quote]

My kid plays U14 on a team with a few former travel players who've decided that they care about other sports more than soccer. None of them seem to have any desire to play travel soccer again. The never travel parents know it exits but are not inclined to spend 20x the price for travel. Once you get past the initial U9 through U10 exodus to travel, the rec families are in rec because that's where they want to be not because they don't know about travel [/quote]

This is true too, left Rec for travel at U8, but still play Rec sometimes and talk with rec parents often.  The Rec families are barraged with 'come to travel tryouts' e-mails and the travel coach recruiters constantly tell parents their kids are good enough to join the 'travel academy.'  They just don't want to, its too much of a time commitment.  There are some great players out there in rec for sure otherwise.
