[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't agree with "don't play club until 7th or 8th grade". Most good players start playing club in 5th grade at the latest. You want your kid to play with and against them. If you stay with rec or lame travel teams, your kid won't get better. You also want better coaching sooner.[/quote] This is correct - kids get much better playing w kids w good stick skills and hopefully preventing or fixing bad habits.[/quote] Have the "stick with rec league" people ever seen a rec league game? Get good coaching early.[/quote] Our "lowly" "rec" team has excellent coaches and my kid is very good considering the limited time she dedicates to lax. Why on earth would she sacrifice all her time to go from being among the best players in her team/league to maybe being a contributor on some fancy sounding "travel team"? Not to mention probably giving up the other 4 sports she plays? It makes no sense. All these "travel" sports force kids to give up way too much.[/quote] Disagree. DD plays for the top club in the area. Also plays on 2 other varsity teams in addition to the varsity sport for which she plays club and is active in two other non-sport extracurricular activities. All depends on the kid.[/quote]
