[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FHS. My youngest is in travel, but only within 60 miles of home field. Keeps costs down. Why travel over rec? Because I wanted him to learn more than he can from volunteer mom coach that played soccer 20 years ago. I have no desire for him to become a professional soccer player. But I want him to actually learn some soccer skills.[/quote] We went to Barca. If I'm going to 'pay to play' anyways, it might as well be with a system and coaches that know how to develop players.[/quote] and do not rely on raw athleticism. In fact, the youth that are large and physical for age will train and play up so as not to rely on those physical traits in their youth which comes back to haunt them when everyone else catches up after puberty. The US travel coaches do the exact opposite, they capitalize on size in the youth leagues to win on physicality.[/quote]
