[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree it's dumb and this is one of many reasons we will never do travel sports. It's a scam. If you child is very talented and hard working, they can get scouted without doing travel sports, and if they are not, they can get all the benefit necessary out of local leagues. There is no compelling reason for travel sports in a place like the DMV.[/quote]

I'm fairly certain that you aren't developing the technical skills practicing 1 hour once a week spring and fall to even make a high school team around here[/quote]

For sports like soccer skill development is done outside of travel practice. The skill development here is horrendous specially on the girls side. It is the reason ECNL and college is so physical. The skill level and the speed of play is extremely low allowing physical play to dominate. The travel part will not allow another sport or any other activity. It’s a system set up to get about a quarter of the kids to college.[/quote]

pre-ecnl most kids do multiple sports and activities. Even ecnl teams allow kids to pick up other winter and summer sports [/quote]
