[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to figure out if U9 travel soccer is worth it for my first grader, who would be in 2nd grade next year.  He tried out for a team that will be new to CCL (2 teams in CCL and 1 team in CCL2).  
I am leaning towards not having him play because 2nd grade is incredibly young to start a travel sport.  I am worried about burnout.  My question is... Has anyone tried out at 10 or 11 and made a CCL team?  He can continue playing with his current team that focuses on individual player development rather than a team.  They get destroyed in games, but the kids have great skills.  
Also, what is so great about CCL?  The teams are far away it seems like.  Is there a reason at this age to do CCL over NCSL?[/quote]

No. Nothing great about CCL. In the younger years, we found we played a much greater variety of teams/styles that were much tougher than the 6 CCL/CCL2 teams we played over and over and over again.

You are a smart person.  A lot of kids make it onto CCL teams at 10/11.  In fact, your child will have a better opportunity than the kids on the lower 3-4 teams of a Club since new kids first are seen with the top team.  The other kids never get a fresh set of eyes.[/quote]
