You are already on the crazy train OP whether you know it not. [/quote]

OP back and I am sure you are right.  We were committed to our DC Soccer school-based rec team for the sake of community and fun, but half the kids are leaving to do travel. So now we're looking to see what our options are.

I do want him to have the opportunity to do travel at some point.  I loved my travel team when I was growing up!  But I didn't even start playing until I was 8, and didn't get on a high-level travel team until I was 14.

I realize things are different now and I'm trying to figure out if I truly need to push him now if he has any hope of making travel later on, or if we can just keep chilling out for a bit.[/quote]

Where are his former teammates going? We’re in a similar boat and have talked to parents from PPA and DCSC, and the early years don’t seem super onerous especially if not on the top team. Also DCSC has the new “select” level that might be good. Nutty that a 9 year old has to move to this world, but our rec team is falling apart too.[/quote]
