[quote=Anonymous]People are throwing around “travel soccer” as if it is an elite standard of play.  Most clubs in each age group have multiple teams with each representing a progressive higher and more competitive level of skill and play.

Saying that most FCPS high school players play travel doesn’t really answer the question about their skill.

At my kid’s high school the varsity team has some real talent with a few freshmen.  Then there are a few varsity players who by either age, experience, or skill usually have a level of maturity not found elsewhere on the team even among the freshmen. Everything in between is a mixed bag of generally good athletes who play either regional or on national level teams.  Teams that are laden with upperclassmen tend to play better soccer simply out of familiarity with their teammates. Teams that rely on underclassmen haven’t in most cases played with the players or the coach very long or at all.

Junior Varsity is an entirely different bag. These team have a healthy number of lower level Travel and House players.  These games do not resemble highly coached or skilled players.  They are more focused on participation across the student body.  [/quote]
