[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Those of you who think C team soccer is the same as rec need to get your heads checked. My DC2, who plays rec, is only a year younger than DC1, who does travel, and the level of play is very very different. Rec is fun but it's not soccer. C team soccer is actually soccer although the skill level is not as good as on the A or B teams. [/quote]

Agreed.  My son is on C team this year, was on rec last year and the experiences are not comparable at all.  Are there some kids on rec who are better than kids on travel C?  Absolutely!  There are really good kids on rec whose parents don't want them to do travel, or who personally don't want to do travel, for a variety of reasons.
But on travel C, you learn to play different positions, to stay in position, and a style of play.  Also, on travel C, despite what people on DCUM say, there are no players who are really awful or not interested in being there.  Everyone is mediocre and is actually trying, even if the skill level/inherent athleticism isn't there.   [/quote]

How can anyone possibly compare travel soccer with rec?  Completely different mindset, training, commitment and a certified professional coach. [/quote]
