[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People seem to have missed the part where OP said was not interested in travel.

The idea that any avid soccer player from Europe would just dominate is ludicrous.  I had a kid from Europe.  Was OK, above average for a rec team, and that's all.[/quote]

Think it depends on what the OP meant by "avid soccer player".  My DS came here from Europe at age 9.  In Europe he was a good player - but not in any sense outstanding.  He was probably the best in his year at school, but it was a small village school.  He played on the team at the next village over (slightly larger village) and was definitely one of the better players, but by no means clearly the best.

We came here and played half a season of rec - and "dominant" does not come close to describing the situation.  He joined a team which had not won a single game the previous season and they won every single game often by double digit goals.  DS was usually told to stop scoring after about fifteen minutes.  In several cases opposing parents complained loudly from the sideline that it wasn't fair, and that my DS shouldn't be playing rec. [/quote]
