[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was my point. Too many parents are forcing kids into travel. It is more of a status symbol here. The whole systems needs to be changed so that you don't have B teams and lower traveling up and down I-95 for games. [/quote]

There's really not a lot of "travel" involved with most of the B and below level teams in this area.   Stop making points that aren't based in truth.[/quote]

Have a ds on a B travel team in the NCSL, we only have 4 away games per season and only two of them were about half an hour away, so not sure what that person is talking about.  And I don't know any kids being "forced" to play travel by their parents, for the vast majority it is the other way around.[/quote]

I have had 3 boys go through U9 and U10 in NCSL. There are 9 or so games per season, so roughly 4 or 5 away games. In my the 6 total years between my boys I'd say the average away game is a 20 minute-drive from us. One time (once!) we drove to West Virginia. Once NCSL starts real divisions, with promotion and relegation one-hour drives may be part of the deal, but still likely not more than 2 times per season. [/quote]
