[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1 nailed it. trying to infect this forum with a league debate.  last thing we need is the CCL guy and his repetitive rant on this issue.  dead horse.  take it to the main forum![/quote]

I don't think you can assume anything about this person's motives.  Remember that there are probably only a small handful of us who have been along for the ride through the big soccer thread and all the smaller ones.  Someone new to the process could well be hearing that CCL is the way to go since, as we know. a lot of the clubs market the heck out of it, and a lot of parents who don't know much about the soccer scene around here believe the hype.

In general, I think it's better to ignore anyone you think might be trolling so we don't drag this tired CCL issue into every soccer thread and make innocent parents think we are all crazy.

Agree.  I spoke to a parent at a tryout who said CCL was more competitive thats why they were trying out.  These are U9/U10 parents.  Its all new to them so not safe to assume someone is trying to lob a grenade into the forum.
