[quote=Anonymous]I have never been to HP Elite but I imagine they are similar to Next Star.  Many people on these forums trash Next Star but we have found them to be an invaluable resource to my child's development.

The problem is the expansion of the club model to lower level teams.  I have seen some teams play and wonder why in the world are they playing travel versus just enjoying rec.  The effort level of the kids, their skill set, etc. is just not worthy of $3k a year investment from the parents and the traveling.  The first team players for kids that are just 9-10 have a ball at their feet 1-2 hours a day.  The clubs won't tell you this.

I grew up playing basketball and we used to dribble to school and back home.  The running backs would have a football in their hands all day and would have to prevent the entire school from stripping it.

Regardless of the sport, if you want to excel, extra is needed.

You always have the option of Youtube videos at home, Dribble Up, 7MLC, etc. if you want to keep the costs down.

If you have a child who wants to play college and pro ball, the investment in supplemental training is essential.  For a child who just wants to have fun, you can create home routines via the sources above and play rec.  Perfectly ok![/quote]
