[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many families here $3k just isn't a lot of money.  I've got a daughter on a lower tier team - and it's the appropriate team for her skill level.  She's been on the same team 2 years now, and some of the girls were on her rec team before that.  They are all friends, facetime each other, and enjoy doing team activities together like the travel tournaments, Washington Spirit games, team parties, etc.
With rec you get a new team every year, at least a couple kids who don't really want to be there and are truly awful.  The coach has to play them and it just isn't fun.  I'd rather play $3k for my daughter to have fun with sports and get exercise while making friends than spend all my time taking her to rec practice and games that she doesn't even like.
Maybe your kid will play in college.  Mine won't. I'd prefer it that way anyway.  She's a smart kid - she'll still get in somewhere good and I can afford to pay for it.[/quote]

Absolutely agree! Mine loves playing the game but hates the disorganized nature of rec. Her teammates didn't take practice seriously and the coach was a volunteer dad with little experience and no license. Every saturday was a guessing game of who will or won't show up to play. At least with travel, she gets 10 months of continuous training, multiple tournaments, and teammates that are more serous about playing. She won't play professionally and almost no chance of playing in college but she's happy. [/quote]

Well stated.  We started travel cause honestly $3K isn't a ton of money and we wanted reliability in both coaching and teammates.  [/quote]

Mmmm...........reliable, not always the case. [/quote]
