[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make Rec the Bottom Division and the winners can get promoted into the travel divisions if they want. Travel division teams can then get further demoted into the 6th tier of NCSL, the rec divisions! [/quote]

Good luck finding parents willing to pay $3k for the chance to be bumped to a rec league! Here’s a crazy idea, pay for travel if you want travel. Pay for rec if you want rec. [/quote]

Promotion and Relegation is a normal part of soccer globally.  Kinda makes those bottom level travel coaches perform to justify the expense right!? How brilliant would that be?  I mean this is the same argument we don't have actual promotion and relegation between leagues here in the US.  'We paid to be an MLS team, so no, we will never play a lower level team."   This stunts the growth of US soccer completely.

If NCSL is managing rec and travel, this could be done easily!  Also, rec kids could get scouted and join travel clubs as most travel teams have funding for low income players. Most rec families don't even know this.[/quote]

LOL! And travel coaches should refund pro-rata travel fees for every game their team loses and players should pay extra for every pass missed, goal missed, extra for each yellow card…. [/quote]
