Start ‘em in travel in first/second grade to get ‘em seen.[/quote]

anyone see the k'garteners at the girls u9 tryouts?![/quote]

It's playing up one year. Blame USA soccer for requiring 1st graders to try out now for travel.[/quote]

Blame parents for demanding that their kids be on “teams”. From rec and having the friends all play together (which is all good) but then after that the fix is always in. Instead of understanding and Academy style process and trusting it parents become obsessed with rosters and who is on or not on the team. Then is the A team or B team. These are all the fault of parents who either seek status or to shield their child from competing by social engineering rosters that keep everyone comfortable. Go read the Arlington Red/DA thread to see this at play. You have parents conspiring to try and keep “their team” together versus making the right soccer decision for their kid. It is all about the “team” and maintaining the team’s status quo. This is not the fault of US Soccer but the fault of parents. [/quote]

So who cares? Its always like that on every team my kid has been on. There are few parents who are like let’s keep this team together forever. Guess what? It never happens. In a year or two most of the team has turned over. The top team obsession is the same as the big 3 private school obsession. It’s not about the kid but the parents. You should see what the sidelines of the rec teams of the big 3 are like. [/quote]
