[quote=Anonymous]At 9-11 the gap between rec and travel becomes huge, especially in soccer, because skill, coordination and movement that are not found in other sports are required. There will be some athletic freaks and late bloomers, but these are by far the exceptions. A hs coach will undoubtedly take the best players, regardless of where they play, but in this area I would be surprised to see a rec player on a hs team, especially one that makes it onto the field. If there is as big a disparity in playing time as you infer (if your son gets less than half while others get a full match) then you need to look for a new team because your coach may not doing what is appropriate for that age. Look for one that emphasizes footskill and allows boys to play multiple positions. They should be focused more on making players better than just winning that weekend's game.[/quote]
