[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who brags about their child being on a travel team? More importantly  who would find that impressive?

Weird post. Me thinks OP's kid didn't make a travel team[/quote]

I have never heard a parent ever brag about their kid playing travel soccer. I think most people understand that travel is not elite in and of itself it is a organized activity that has varying degrees of competitiveness where kids can find a best fit for their skills and ambition.[/quote]

Absolutely.

And I know people love to shit all over youth/pro soccer in the US.  I honestly don't care if the US dominates the world soccer scene.  I care that my kid is healthy, active, and involved in something that will provide him tools for the future (discipline, work ethic, fitness, teamwork, leadership skills, etc.) [/quote]

+1 my kid doesn't have to play soccer barefoot with a ball made out of a sock in order for it to be meaningful.  They also don't have to be the best on the world stage to be meaningful. To hear OP and other like minded people tell it everyone in US soccer from pros down to travel teams should just hang it up because we will never be as good as anyone else in the world blahs blah blah[/quote]
