[quote=Anonymous]As to the question why travel soccer....you don't want your son left behind in rec soccer.  When you take about the top 20% of rec, rec becomes absolute garbage unfortunately.  Now I think the question is...why not everyone just stay in REC and maybe bring in professional soccer coaches? Again, because some rec players don't want to put in the extra work.  As a matter of fact, some travel players don't want to put in the extra work.  That's why their are tiers.  So the most dedicated, hard working, skilled kids can compete against and train with similar kids.  Kids/Parents think that they can just show up to regularly scheduled team practices and every thing will be fine.  It be fine for very long. There are some kids working every day.  Team practices are for team training - tactics and multiple person drills.  Kids need to work their butts off outside of practice on dribbling, receiving, passing, shooting, chipping, all those 1v1 scenarios, etc.

My younger son plays U8 rec and his games are competitive; however, the quality of soccer is crap.  I can't wait to get out of rec.[/quote]
