[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They even start 'travel' soccer way to early. Kids aren't mature enough or physically and emotionally ready in 3rd grade.[/quote] Some of the differences I see between travel and rec are: tryouts to separate the more skilled players from the average players (IMO, this is good on both sides), experienced, trained, and licensed coaches (usually rec coaches are parent volunteers), travel further away, more costly, year-round commitment, more games played. Sure, travel soccer isn't for everyone but it's a great option for the kids that need something more than rec has to offer. U9 travel soccer is a lot different than U11 travel soccer. I'm a parent of two boys that play soccer. My oldest started playing travel at u9 and my youngest plays rec now but will start next year in travel as a u9.[/quote]
