[quote=Anonymous]We are giving lower level travel a try next year. Still having mixed feelings about it, but our child really wants to try it. We won’t really know if it’s a bad idea or not until we try it for a year I guess. We are just hoping that the coaching is decent and the level of competition is appropriate so that they can learn how to play and not feel demoralized. Their older sibling plays travel at a higher level so we know what the landscape is like. I would’ve liked for our younger one to keep doing rec for at least one more year, but they want to make the move. Plus we found out the rec coach is not going to be coaching next year. We have had some terrible coaches in our rec league so it feels like it would be a crapshoot to stick with it next year. Also hoping that maybe a year of travel will set our child up a little better for the following year when the age groups change. They are going to be on the younger side once that happens and potentially trying out against kids who will already be starting their third year of travel soccer. I don’t expect travel soccer to turn our younger child into an amazing player, but if it’s something they really enjoy and want to work at, and I can afford it, then I will support it as a parent.[/quote]
