[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Valor doesn’t have good coaches, a cohesive development strategy, or talent. Otherwise, it’s a standard travel club taking advantage of all the wealth in the area and delusional u9-u12 parents.[/quote]

Only the parents convinced their average kid belongs on the top team are delusional.  There are plenty of regular people who don't care which team their kid ends up on, other than wanting it to be with other kids at the appropriate skill level.  [b]Travel soccer doesn't exist only to serve the best of the best.[/b]  One of my kids was on a 'bad' 3rd team a few years ago, and they still had a better than .500 regular season record in the 6th division where they competed, and there were two more divisions below that.
Hate to break it to you, but if your kid is the next Messi then you aren't on DC Urban Mom talking about local soccer clubs.[/quote]
It used to. Rec was good enough for most. Travel leagues are seemingly larger than rec.[/quote]

For many travel parents the rec experience wasn't enough at the early u Littles.  They were the best of the best at that time at least at their club age level so they tried out and made a travel team.   At some point that changed and they no longer were a top top player  but they were on the travel train already and once you're on its hard to get the kid to hop off[/quote]
