[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why we have to continue framing the debate for you. The question is do you need to do travel soccer for a weak B team or C team or lower at u9/u10 team if the goal is to play elite soccer? You do not. There are quality coaches in classic/select that can better prepare your kid at the early ages for elite soccer than the C team coach. The idea is that there are better options than forking out $3,000 or traveling extensively at U9/u10. I have listed several teams/coaches that I have met or seen play in tournaments. If you want to write a check for travel and drive all over the DMV, no one is stopping you but you are a fool if you believe that playing for a weak B team or C team or lower is the only avenue to preparing your kid to play at an elite level. I do argue that by u12/u13, a player needs to be doing travel for a number of reasons.[/quote]

1. B and C travel is not elite soccer. 
2. B and C travel rarely costs $3000. 
3. There is no evidence, other than your experience with one kid that Select soccer can better prepare a player than any other form of travel soccer. [/quote]
