[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dh coached rec soccer for years. He played soccer himself and he watches it all the time. To assume that the parent coaches have no clue what they're doing is short-sighted. Trust me that very few of them are out there with zero soccer experience. Travel soccer for an 8 year old sounds like a waste of time and a total money making scam. Why does your kid need to travel to another state and stay in a  hotel to play soccer when there are hundreds of thousands of food soccer players in the dc area. It's a concept that was born when there were fewer kids playing sports and maybe a good team in rural Kansas truly couldn't find other players close to home and to travel to play. But here? Good players and teams are a dime a dozen. [/quote]

This is not what "travel" means for U9/U10. If you're based Maryland it means you can travel as far as Hagerstown, MD or Manassas, VA. Forcible stay at a hotel at this age group is very rare. I've only heard about it once from another club and we're in the top bracket for EDP. That being said, we have faced teams from PA and CT in local tournaments at the U9 level, so there are clubs like this. But the majority are not.[/quote]
