[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many rec teams have a handful of really good players. Most 4th-5th tier travel teams have zero really good players.[/quote]

There is a reason incoming rec players moving into travel don't all start on the bottom teams. [/quote]

Most rec coaches are just glorified babysitters that are trying to make sure his DC has friends to play with. There are some decent rec players but they can’t hold a candle to any mid level travel player. And I guarantee any rec player whose dad is coaching is not even average. [/quote]

All the good players on our team left by U9 to do travel. [/quote]
What about those of us who don't have $6000 to spend on two kids to play travel soccer? We're stuck with CYA rec?[/quote]

There are other travel soccer clubs that aren’t as expensive as Valor. Burke and Herndon come to mind. But I wouldn’t do travel just to avoid the problem of good players leaving rec. Make sure your kid wants to play soccer for at least 3 hours during the week, won’t miss games, and wants to play in tournaments.

If they like soccer but don’t want to spend that kind of time on it, the best thing is to try to talk to the parents of the kids who are decent and planning to stay with rec. Helps if you know the age group coordinator too. You can try to request your kid is on a team with a decent coach and players and it can be a pretty good experience. [/quote]
