I guess I'm just not sure how I feel about paying $3000/year for my child to play on a lower tier travel team. If they had something in between travel and rec, that would be ideal. I was hoping to maybe find a rec program that offers something like that?[/quote]

Not a lot of those programs around, partially because there aren't many (any?) leagues for them to play in. Plus getting decent coaches who consistently want to coach at that level is a challenge.

If cost is the issue, most clubs have scholarship programs. Commitment wise, you're generally looking at 3 practices a week, vs 2 at most rec programs, so the commitment, outside of tournaments, isn't really much more, if you're already playing Fall and Spring soccer.

Despite how much these forums love to bash lower level travel teams, the reality is that is where most players who play travel are, but you wouldn't know that since everyone on here has a DC playing on ECNL/MLS-Next right?!...

Find a good coach, hopefully with a team that your child can compete with and then determine if it's worth the cost for you/your family. Otherwise your at the mercy of the rec. gods and whoever decides to volunteer and that is a crapshoot everyone you'll go.[/quote]
