[quote=Anonymous][quote]Truth is there are some rec kids out there who can play circles around a lot of kids whose parents are paying $2,000 a year.

This is a bit misleading too. A truer statement might be "There is a considerable overlap in abilities between some of the better kids playing rec and and the lower levels of travel soccer. And there are even a handful of kids playing rec who are truly significantly better than quite a lot of kids playing travel[/quote]

I agree.  But, I'm not really paying 2K for my son to climb to the upper levels of soccer.  I want him getting out of the house, socializing, learning to work as a team, and getting exercise.  One rec practice a week and one rec game is not going to meet those needs to the degree that I want.  I had thought about signing him up for two separate rec teams to save money, but that is not allowed at our club, and no way am I driving to two different clubs.  I don't have the time for that, I'd rather just pay the money for travel. [/quote]
