[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're not on the A or B team you're wasting your money.  Only if your kid lives and breath's soccer and really has aspirations, then maybe let your kid play on the C team, but lower than that just go rec.[/quote]

I don't understand this mentality. Only do things you are good at? I've spent plenty of time and money on golf over the years even though I'm not "A or B team" caliber. My level of play has nothing to do with my enjoyment. If I can afford it why not spend money on things my kids enjoy[/quote]

It's not a waste of money if my kid is enjoying it, puts in the work, builds skills, gains life lessons and friendships. My kid will never be on the A team (unless there's some puberty miracle), but she was extremely frustrated on her rec team. Being on a lower level club team has been great for her all around.[/quote]

+1 I agree with you wholeheartedly.  Rec teams often fall apart as kids age out, but club teams tend to be able to sustain multiple play levels.  You pay for stability, good organization, and quality coaches.[/quote]
