[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see the conversation now:

DC:  Mom/Dad, all of of the best players on my select team are moving to a travel team. The only ones that are left are the bad players. Can I join a travel team too?  I know I will do better and it will prepare me for ECNL. Even my select coach told me to consider travel as he thinks I have great potential.

Mom/Dad:  No, it’s much better for you to stay with select. You will learn more, develop more and be better prepared if you stay in Select. And going to travel is just a money-grab.

DC:  Isn’t your Mercedes are money-grab too?  You could have bought a Toyota instead. Driving a Toyota will make you e a better driver and you will develop more as a driver.

Mom/Dad:  While I never played soccer and have no experience and/or knowledge of youth soccer, I know what is best for you. And I rather spend money upgrading my to a new car every other year than to spend it on Travel soccer. So it is Select Soccer for you!![/quote]

This isn't fair at all. There are lots of people who are priced out of travel soccer and as I posted just above a family could even be priced out of Classic soccer.

I think your point may speak to the smartest guy in the room contrarian but to presume that cost is not an issue is being elitist.[/quote]
