[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's sad is the whole thing has become a big business as opposed to having anything to do with the kids or the communities, and so many parents just buy into it.  To go an out of town club to play travel soccer on the 3rd or 4th team in your age group is stupid. [/quote]
Why would it be "stupid" to play for any club at whatever level if you can afford it and your kid is enjoying it?  Some people just really love good soccer, which I think is probably not the case with those of you who are so negative on this thread.  Plus, being on the 3rd or 4th team in a younger age group is no big deal if you are someplace that takes soccer seriously and teaches good skills.  There are kids on local Development Academy teams that were on the 3rd or 4th team when they were U10 or U11--kids develop at different rates.  At last year's tryout for my son's middle school team, virtually all the kids who played on the 1st - 4th teams at the best local club as 6th graders made the soccer team as seventh graders, while many players who played on the 1st teams of less good clubs did not.
