Not at all. "Travel" itself isn't the ridiculous part. The trouble is that so many people get hyper about it. "More tournaments! We need GotSoccer points! And this 'elite' league wouldn't let us in, so let's form another one and drive to New Jersey for league games!"

[b]The basic experience -- committing to a team, trying to get better, traveling (not too far away or too much) -- is fine. No reason that shouldn't be open to as many kids as possible.[/b][/quote]

But with so many kids playing travel, you can argue that to find competition you shouldn't have to travel very far at all.  Personally, I think it's a way to stroke parental egos, while providing full-employment for soccer trainers.   [/quote]

Sure, you shouldn't have to travel very far, at least for league play. One or two tournaments away from home each year can be fun. All that can be done relatively cheaply.

It's really why it's better in a lot of respects to be on a B, C or D team than it is to be on an A team.[/quote]
