[quote=Anonymous]I can’t answer for anyone else. I signed my son up because he begged. He was playing rec soccer in 2nd grade and upset kids didn’t show up to games on time if they showed up at all. The majority of kids on the team goofed around during practice so the coach spent more time on corralling kids than coaching. The coach was kind enough to pull him aside and work with him 1:1 seeing that he was motivated. We decided to give travel a try because he was begging and the coach was telling us to go. We never once considered he would play in college or get a scholarship though he is now a HS junior exploring college options. Now that he’s older, I have to say that it’s been a fun ride. It hasn’t come at any cost to our other kids who were older. We would just divide and conquer on the weekends as needed. And his teams mostly did local travel so we didn’t incur the high travel expenses and disruption of some families we know. [/quote]
