[quote=Anonymous]The number of kids who have any real use for a travel program is pretty small. It's not going to be a big percentage of soccer players who end up starting on their high school teams, let alone go on to play college. Most of them can get competition at their level in rec teams locally. Good coaching is the scarcest resource, and that's what you should pay for if you're really serious about the sport. But there's a ton of value to just getting some exercise, working with a team, having some competition, getting some joy out of playing at something, and all of the generic benefits that come with sport. But, parents want the best for their kids and are scared that their kids will miss out. So they are reluctant to just put their son or a daughter on a rec team and call it a day. [/quote]
