[quote=Anonymous]Hmm...it seems like I was in this boat not too long ago and things are drastically different... There was no travel team at the U8 level even with the club teams in the area... The clubs had what they called ADP (Advanced Development Program) for U8/U9 years and it was all pool play. No teams, no real games. Worked out really well as the kids were divided into smaller groups, worked on skills, and then tried those skills in practice in games. I think that they might be doing this even at U10 now too. Don't know if that type of program is available, but it allowed our kids to benefit from more advanced training at that age without the huge "travel" commitment and allowed them to do other stuff like hoops too in the summer and winter. DS in college now and plays pickup soccer and DD is HS Soph and playing ECNL and loves it.[/quote]
