[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Sadly, I feel this is true. I blame the so called non-profits who get exclusive use of the county turf fields and run the rec programs. Then, they use the rec programs to heavily recruit and promote FOMO for their travel program. They take most of the rec kids and tun the rec kids into 2k per year travel kids. -The rec program is decimated and no one really wants to play it by u13.[/quote] This is not true everywhere. Arlington has a thriving rec program at all ages. Focusing on the girls teams, they have 15 teams of high school aged players. Even at the younger ages, there is not a FOMO about travel for many families-- especially those where soccer is just one of many things they do. My own kids were decent soccer players-- not likely travel quality but they never wanted to try out. Instead they kept playing on teams with their friend. It was about playing a game they loved.[/quote]
