I disagree with this analysis. I can't say whether my kid has "stronger relationships" with travel soccer friends or classmates. But what I can say is that not playing with kids that he was initially friends with has required him to branch out and meet a new friend group - so now he has a larger group of friends overall.

Why don’t you ask them if they would enjoy it more with their school friends or their soccer teammates? [/quote]

I did, but at this point, it doesn't seem like the social aspect of soccer is he cares about.  He initially said "friends from school because then there would be kids from higher level teams and we would win all the time."  (his grade has many kids who play travel, and many of them are more talented than he is).  I explained that it was unlikely that a league would put top-level travel team players on a mid-level travel team, even if they were at the same school.  He then said he'd rather keep things like they are, because his team could wind up with worse players overall if there were  a change.  So it seems like winning is his concern.
