[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you do if your kids is on the top team and seems like a top player(juggles in the 200, other in the teens and has roughly about 75% of the assist on the team u10 girl)...do you hedge and tryout for another club? Just hearing all the horror stories and growing concerned. [/quote]

Concerned about what exactly?

Doucheville Mayor here.  My kid could juggle over 1,000 by 10.  His touch grew exponentially because of it.  He was lead scorer in the age group, as well as most assists.  Played anywhere on the field.  Travel soccer doesn't give a shit about soccer IQ.  He is now headed to Spain. Yes, by invite.  And, yes, they are paying for it.  It was only when we got him away from American coaches that he was recognized, and we were told he was exceptional.  They said his vision of the game and understanding was unbelievable for his age---his touch and skill are great---but 80% of it is how well the kid understands the game.

So, yes, I harbor a lot of resentment for the idiots in travel---but the one thing they gave my kid was grit and the ability to prove them all wrong.

So how will this Spain situation work?  Does your child have an EU passport?  Will the whole family move over there?[/quote]

Yes.  Mother is Spanish.  Her family is in Spain.  We were going to relocate eventually anyways.[/quote]

That's lucky /useful. I've followed Ben Lederman and John Hilton and some others, and it's almost impossible to go over as a young player without the right passport. Keep us posted on how your son likes it--hope it works out well. [/quote]

Thanks.[/quote]
