[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you folks dense? The argument is that it is not for everyone but for those who don't have the capacity to go into travel at u9.

I am glad that you and others have the means to go into travel at u9. I am glad that you have one or two kids and can dedicate time to your kid. Some of us don't so we look for other alternatives. I am here to tell you that it is possible, not definite but possible to find an alternative to B or C travel and work to make elite soccer by u15.

I have seen it and have provided names of teams with strong coaches. I personally know girls who came from classic and spent 2.3 years playing travel before being invited to play ECNL.

Sorry but I am not going to allow you folks who have bought into the travel industrial complex tell me or anyone else that they have to spend $3,000 and drive insane distances to play C teams when they can get a similar if not better experience in classic/select.

I have watched too often parents spend money on a C team expecting their DC to develop on the C team only to watch a classic player tryout and beat out their DC for a spot on the A or B team. From there, I have seen the same player make an ECNL team. It is not everyone but I have seen it enough to believe that it is an alternative for the right kid. [/quote]

Why the name calling?  Seems like an issue with you...  What you suggest might work for 1% of players.  Maybe.[/quote]
