[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. At the top levels of travel soccer, the parents, er, I mean, kids are obsessed with getting to commit to a college and thus justify the money otherwise wasted. There is no sense of team - the players are in it for themselves only. The clubs know this and cater to it, and most are focused on trumpeting all their college commitments (even D3 commits are celebrated). No one involved in travel soccer cares at all about a “team.” It’s a foreign concept. Parents move their kids like cattle between clubs. [/quote]

Most of the world also doesn’t care about team at the highest levels. The goal is to develop a few select players. [/quote]

This is the unfortunate truth. Teams will be formed around developing a singular player in professional academies even. It's really messed up but that's the way the world of soccer is. Professional sports are completely rigged. Any number of players could be the one trans are based around but it's at the discretion of the coach, which is true from starting at youth academy programs for pre-travel. [/quote]
